Toogood is still awaiting the results of scans on her ankle, but is feeling optimistic she will be given the green light to face Fremantle on Saturday.
"The ankle just got caught under me for a second there as I grabbed the footy and I dished off the handball," Toogood told Fox Sports.
"It is feeling a lot better. As you can see when I was on the bench, I was emotional because I was in a little bit of pain and concerned as well.
"But today it is feeling better. I've already done multiple ice buckets, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. I'm a good healer.
"I've had scans. We're waiting for the report.
"But I'll do everything within my power. I will leave no stone unturned to make sure that I put myself up for a chance."
Even if Toogood does play, Essendon face a giant obstacle in their bid to win the club's first final since 2004.

That obstacle is the imposing Mim Strom.
Essendon haven't won a final since the men's team beat Melbourne by five points in an elimination final 20 years ago.
The men's team have lost seven finals since then, with the women's team losing to Geelong by 18 points in last year's elimination final.
Essendon's hopes of ending that streak suffered a huge blow a fortnight ago when star ruck Steph Wales tore her ACL.
Wales' absence was keenly felt against Carlton, with the Blues winning the hit-out tally a whopping 51-9.
Essendon ruck Matilda Dyke, filling in for Wales, finished with just six hitouts after being completely outpointed by Jessica Good (40 hitouts).
The task for Dyke is going to be even tougher this week when she comes up against in-form Fremantle ruck Strom, who is almost certain to be named in the All-Australian side this year.
Strom showcased her talent with 30 disposals, 29 hitouts, nine marks, seven clearances and 400m gained in Fremantle's 14-point win over the Western Bulldogs on Sunday.
Essendon were able to almost halve the stoppage battle against Carlton last weekend despite the lack of hitouts to advantage, and they'll be hoping to pull off a similar job against Fremantle.
Dockers coach Lisa Webb is hopeful star defender Ash Brazill (ankle) will be able to face Essendon.
"We've got to get through the next six days, but I'm confident," Webb said.
"I just tell her she has to put her feet up and not chase her kids around."
