Toby Thurstans (born 14 August 1980) is an Australian Rules footballer for Port Adelaide Football Club and plays at Centre half forward or in defense.
Thurstans was drafted from the Dandenong Stingrays at selection 39 in the 1998 National AFL Draft. He couldn't get a game and played in SANFL with Sturt until his debut for Port in 2003. The following season he won a premiership and was one of the Grand Final heroes with 3 goals.
In 2005 and 2006, Toby struggled to find good form and was used as trade bait. Fortunately for Thurstans, he was kept and now plays in a defensive role and a back up tap ruckman. Thurstans has currently played all matches for Port Adelaide in the 2007 AFL Season, starring in his new role as a defender.
