From Fox Sports;

Gold Coast defender Joshua Toy is yet to make up his mind about whether he wants to leave the club and return to Melbourne.
There has been speculation Toy has asked to be traded to a Melbourne club so he can be closer with his family, but his manager- James Pitcher of Strategic Sports Management- says his client is still weighing up his future.
"I haven't really got any indication, at this stage, when he'll actually make his final decision," Pitcher said on the AFL website.
"But I've left the ball in his court and I'm waiting for him to get back to me."
Toy was one of the eligible 17-year-old access selections picked by Gold Coast in 2010, but would almost certainly have been a top three draft selection at the 2010 NAB AFL Draft.

Yeah I read this too, "almost certain to join a Melbourne club" seems a bit strong after reading it. I will definitely be watching over the NAB cup even if it turns out that he stays with gold coast.

Sad news. It certainly explains why such a talented player like Toy is getting vested every game and getting very little midfield time and few disposals. He might still be worth his cheap price next year, but if his heart problem is significantly affecting his fitness it's hard to see him ever being a DT premium, even in the backline.  :(

Makes a bit more sense, because he's clearly a talent that has been a bit underused so far.  Won't have him in my team, but genuinely hope he is able to work through the health problems...

Hope he has a career worthy of his talent and potential  :(
