Absolutely, I reckon that Voss would be the type to really appreciate how hard Toby goes at it

Oh how the tables have turned....
Very different to the 2019 finals, or even 2021 with the ump bump. But it feels like oppo supporters respect him more now, even if he'll never be the most popular player in the comp.
We Giants supporters, of course, love him to bits!

Extract from SEN’s article on the Himmelberg signing. So not only is Toby an on-field genius, he has exceptional negotiating skills off-field as well. Toby for PM! 
On Wednesday, the Herald Sun revealed Toby Greene’s role in convincing Himmelberg to stay via a lavish dinner at Sydney restaurant Mr Wong.

ESPN’s review of the round, and again rave reviews of our Toby. He really deserves to play finals in his first year as sole captain.
Think about it. Who's rucking? Tim English, Max Gawn or maybe even Rowan Marshall? Heck, some are lobbying for Kieren Briggs! How about full forward? Charlie Curnow leads in the Coleman Medal race, but with Taylor Walker to play the Eagles in Round 24 there's no guarantee it stays that way. We've seen a handful of wings put their hands up, including Josh Daicos, Errol Gulden, and Nic Martin. And good luck picking the first key defender in the team.
But Toby Greene has elevated himself to a level where he has no peer. The mercurial Giants skipper is producing a season for the ages, and yet I still feel his career-best production has flown criminally under the radar.
Greene's booted 54 goals for the year and sits fourth in the race for the Coleman Medal, behind Curnow (70), Walker (65) and Nick Larkey (56) - three key forwards. But that doesn't tell the full story. If you extrapolate for the two games he missed with an ankle injury in the first half of the year, he'd be around 60 goals. And unlike Curnow and Walker, Greene only had the joy of facing West Coast once in 2023.
But it's not just his goalkicking. Greene's ability to push higher up the ground and influence the game through the midfield doesn't just makes him arguably the most dynamic player in the sport, but it also separates him from many of the other great small to mid-sized forwards in the game.
FUN FACT: Greene is averaging 2.8 goals and 18 disposals per game in 2023. Only one other player is even averaging two goals and 15 disposals per game (Jeremy Cameron). In fact, since 1999 just five players have averaged those numbers over the course of a full season: Wayne Carey (2000), Brad Johnson (2006 & 2007), Steve Johnson (2010), Lance Franklin (2012) and now Greene.
This year, Greene ranks first for inside 50 groundball gets and equal-second for score involvements, behind only Christian Petracca. Among forwards, he sits second for Champion Data rating points, while top five in contested possession and disposals.
Pound for pound Greene might be the best player in the league. He deserves to be first picked in this year's All-Australian team (what would be his third blazer) and I certainly wouldn't be against making him captain.

The Six Points: 'Indefensible' Dogs might have cost themselves finals
This week's Six Points features the Bulldogs' embarrassing two-minute drill, the player who must be first picked in the All-Australian team, what the AFL has got so very wrong, and what it's got so very right.
Near perfect assessment. Gun player in his prime.ESPN’s review of the round, and again rave reviews of our Toby. He really deserves to play finals in his first year as sole captain.

I certainly would
Great article I think they left Nick Reiwoldt name out of that list and maybe Robbie gray one year but overall another stellar season. Top 3 player in the league and has been a little underrated has been doing this since 2016.

Well done, and apt recognition for Toby being named (as expected) in the 2023 All Australian team. Toby’s 3rd All Australian selection, and the most number of All Australian selections by a player in the history of our club! Truely he’s our GOAT!
