During the 2012 Trade Period, Toy requested for a trade back to his home state of Victoria.[2] After failing to arrange a trade deal, Toy was delisted by the Suns late in October 2012. Despite training with Richmond and being interviewed by several other Victorian clubs, Toy was not drafted in either the pre-season or rookie drafts.
