No.19: Troy Simmonds
Troy Simmonds arrived at Richmond during the AFL’s 2004 trade period, in a three-way deal, which also saw Aaron Fiora depart Tigerland for St Kilda, and Heath Black return to Fremantle, following a stint with the Saints.

Can they start off with a bigger spud?
Yes.
Not sure they can
Do you mean bigger as in height or weight?
Or do you mean bigger as in dud player?
Cos I think Troy was more than serviceable for a few years until his knees were knackered.
Here are a few names that are worse:Pitura, Jordi, and Thomson in recent years, the trade war with the pies in the 1980s saw us lose premiership players and gain John Annear, Craig Stewart, Wally Lovett, Neil Peart - I think Philip Walsh was in there too, how about Pitura in the 1970s- only cost us Teasdale. Did you like the Clinton King trade - lost a ruckman but at least we got Fiora.
