Real Footy Pod said this draft will have his fingerprints all over it, most of the hard work has been done.

This draft will be his legacy to us.

Heard today from a source Chris got golden staph which is not good when dealing with cancer.
As I know myself x 2 stem cell transplants I got infections twice in my PICC line.
2nd time it was bad for me, isolated for a couple of weeks as they tried to counter the staph.

My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.
Cancer can go and getā€¦.

Been OS and havenā€™t been keeping up with the news on this site as fervently as I normally would. Canā€™t believe I missed this tragic event.
My deep condolences to his family, friends and his colleagues at both the RFC and STKFC.

Hi guys

Chris was one of my oldest, dearest friends. Every word you read about his goodness, kindness, gentleness and generosity is absolute fact - he is simply the best person I have known.

What I want you all to know is that your club has been absolutely magnificent through all of this. They have extended Chris and his family every kind of support, without being asked and without expecting anything in return. Richmond has put its arms around the Toce clan from the moment he joined your club, and especially in recent times. I can tell you that his family and friendship group are deeply grateful for the support. Your club deserves eternal respect for this, which I heard Chris and his family say many times.

We are devastated at this news, as many of you will be, but also be proud of your club and its leaders.

Bigger than football, this is why I love this club. As important as flags, how you treat ā€œyoursā€ in the absolute worst of times.

Thanks for sharing. Itā€™s difficult enough but even more when children are involved and impacted. Couldnā€™t imagine my child son living without me.

I know someone who knew Chris from his St Kilda days. Said he was a seriously nice man.
There were some unhappy people at the saints when he was pushed out by the Allan/Silvagni/Lyon grouping
