2020 Rnd 1 Lost to WC - 7.9 to 12.6
2019 Rnd 9 Lost to WC - 9.15 to 13.7
2018 Rnd 18 Def WC - 16.12 to 14.7
2018 Prelim Lost to WC - 7.13 to 18.13

Love watching Toby play. One of my favourite players to watch, and probably the best one on one small player in the game.
Having said that ........
He comes across as being a pretty ordinary person, to people outside his immediate clique.
This is typical alpha-male buffoonery, where he expects the umpire make room for the cock-of-the-walk.

In 2018 Hawkins got a week for brushing Dean Margetts wrist. It was a reaction in the moment of play.

Toby was just being arrogant, and it wasn't in play, so it was "considered".

Alpha male buffoonery - 4 weeks. Sorry Toby.

It will be interesting if the AFL, who say they are tougher during finals, take their usual "but his team is still alive in the finals" weak approach, and fine him instead. I hope not. A standard has to be set!
