Zac's history. The future is Simpkin!

Post: # 1196745Post Sainternist »

People are lamenting over Zac Dawson leaving us.

Let's move on, folks!

Remember, he'll always be best remembered in a St.Kilda jumper for being a part of this moment

Once he matures, Tom Simpkin will become a better full back :)

Doesn't say much for our depth when some pine for a GOP


Saints looking like a bottom 4 team in 2024.

Let's move on. So you start a new thread on him. Give me a break.

Thread title changed. Feel free to discuss Simpkin stepping into the role of full back :wink:

Simpkin is our fullback. Plain and simple.
Our next goal is to find someone who can play tall alongside him. I hope this will be Jackson Ferguson - who is only 19 so ptobably a season or two away.

I like Simpkin but think he is more of a flanker, I fear he isnt tall enough. Ironic how we are trying to fit 3 or 4 talls in the fwdline yet the backline is where it is required.

I always felt the same about Maxy as well to small to be the full back more suited as the flanker .. If simpkin can be half of what Maxy was they we are on a winner

I almost regret posting that youtube link. Sorry about that.

It's another horrid reminder to how close we came and couldn't get it done :cry:
