Simmonds playing on good decision or not?

[Gigantor]

exactly jack and there is our problem..our other ruckmen are so far off the pace it aint funny

[Ramps]

we're probably going to have to try and trade for 1. carlton has hampson and one other who wont be seeing much action. not a bad player imho.

[Gigantor]

we trade at the end of the year..what about this season?..amy alternatives?

[Hellenic Tiger]

If our ruck stocks are that slim lads, then what is Lade doing to try and get them competitive. Not Lade's fault if Simmo is slow, Vickery and Brown are raw and Graham is lazy and uncompetitive but we need to at least get some competitiveness in that area and give us a first use of the footy.

Simmonds playing on was a necessity.
We have no ruckman.
what a joke that a club can recruit for years yet ail to recruit ONE ruckman

what the stuff did Simmonds do last night that Browne or Graham cannot?
I presume neither are in a wheel chair?

Tuck is our best ruckman, put him in the ruck.

Graham hasnt had a possesion in the past 2 practice matches and Brown isnt ready as yet.
At least Simmo can get to the ball and has a crack, cant say the same about Graham

[Gigantor]

you couldnt possibly play graham...he offers very little.....maybe nothing

[TigerTimeII]

simmonds a black belt, he could even hurt fairy floss lol, even kruiser intimidated him lol

snake is a fake, useless as t@s on a bull

must play browne and vickery and persist

[WA Tiger]

Yep lets leave another experienced player out and bring a young player in with all the workload on his shoulders to get smashed against the Dogs, stuff. Simmonds needs to be in the side with either Browne or Vickery, he adds balance to the side whether you like it or not. Same deal with Tuck, he should of played IMO. If Simmonds is out against the Dogs we will be hammered by even more than we would have been if he did play.

ppl keep talking about how bad graham is and i agree, spud of the highest order, does nothing, but him playing won't be trading down on what simmonds offers us.  Rotate graham/browne polak and vickery through the ruck and bring in simmonds as relief every now and then.

[Gigantor]

How about simmonds as a permanent forward....just sit in the goal square you big lug...LOL

[Chuck17]

How about sitting him ten metres behind the goal square

[Gigantor]

I"ll buy that chuck..he and ritchie can share a pie and a beer there

[peggles]

How could anyway say to play Angus Graham ?
he has been statless his past 3 practise matches.
At least Simmo has a go

despite simmo having a go,he's still useless.  much rather graham and i stand by that.
