Tom Simpkin
Reads the play extremely well, a good decision maker and user of the footy and has pace and rarely gets beaten. Just looks like a solid player.

Re: Tom Simpkin
Kid blows me away. Looks to have been playing 8 yrs. I wonder what influence Hudgton has had helping him transition to the big league.....but he has the attributes.

Re: Tom Simpkin
I'm really enjoying watching him at the moment grows in stature by the week. He reminds me of Scarlett and Lake the way he takes the game on. He seems like he's always been there already.

Rock solid.
Great decision maker.
How good was that smother in front of the bench?

others are starting to notice our younger players and these same others are making positive comments...about time we had some reward for our recruiters..

really liking his game.

Re: Tom Simpkin
Sponsored him a couple of years back so took extra notice of him in the VFL.
Commented at the time he takes on the game like a young Goose, backs into packs, sideways across packs etc with no regard for his own safety.
Seems to have got smarter with that while improving his skills.
Loving watching him right now, am rapt that he's getting his chance and I have no doubt Max is having a huge influence.

Re: Tom Simpkin
Is head and shoulders better than Spud Dawson. Looks a real player.
Are we waiting for a saviour?
I'm so sick of waiting!
I've been waiting my whole life!
This is a new day!
