You're just being silly now.
Answer these questions, please.
Who told you Simmonds asked for a farewell match as you continue to state like he is the enemy holding the club to ransom rather than the possibility of him being offered by the club and graciously accepting to play one last time as a leader for our football club?
Who are you to judge what Troy Simmonds means to our players as to what he has contributed, particularly as a clubman behind closed doors given he was voted by the playing group into the leadership group at the start of the season despite us knowing then he was only a player filling gaps in the ruck for a year at Damien Hardwick's request?
Your point about Kane Johnson, Matthew Richardson and Darren Gaspar is utter poo since two played in round 22 or the last game they were able to and Gaspar walked after being dropped, and Rory Hilton and Andrew Kellaway were delisted. None of those players had anything comparable to Troy Simmonds' situation and it's just you trying to search for some kind of valid reason for your incoherent ramblings, yes?

I have an issue with a guy that's played 90 games for the club getting a farewell game, who is not in our best 22.
If Tuck and McMahon played out the year in the VFL and wanted to retire would we be happy for them to come in and take spots from deserved players?
Get past the fact were all stoked for Troy. Think about every player that actually played 100 games for the club that weren't given one.
Let's not get to emotional and defensive Deledio and Bling has been at the club just as long if he retired do we give Brett and Bling a send off?
Yeah I know you have told us a million times but there you go again avoiding any questions that have been asked of you and creating unrealistic scenarios to try and suit your argument. Who is "stoked for Troy?" I'm not, this is not about us, this is about the playing group sending off a bloke who has been a great leader for this club, survived and played on after a 10% chance of living (which may be an inspiration from his team mates far more than we will ever know), and a player who decided to give his knee one more go at the request of our football department, not because of his own selfishness but to help out a club in need.
This shouldn't about isolating the amount of games he has played as some kind of be-and-end-all measure, get some kind of perspective there just might be more to it that your blinkers are failing to see. If the players and Hardwick want to give him a send off game I don't think it's up to an outsider to rubbish their call when they have no idea about what intangibles Simmonds has bought to the team or to judge without knowing the respect Simmonds has as a player and a person to his team mates. Who are you to rubbish the call when we are sitting on the outside with no idea what Troy Simmonds means to the club?
Now for gods sake answer these simple questions. If you avoid them again it's pretty clear you have some kind of agenda.
