Troy Simmonds is the new Cain Ackland

5th I reckon.....I think he and Terry had their 5 year contracts drawn up at the same time.

He was shocking last night.
 
dumb thread ... he had a shocking night along with many of our other "top" players, but calling him the new cain ackland is pretty simplistic.
 
Sorry guys I missed this reply. If Troy Simmonds is such a crucial player then we are on the road to nowhere. Play vickery !!!

My mate Wanger is back in circulation now we will be driving up from Moe in the VK Commodore Richo Rocket - yeah it is back on the road with a RWC two) to see us beatt the Dees next week. We will probably be at the Cricketers arms before having a few UDLs if someone wants to join us.
 
So much focus on King and Tambling that this bloke got off lightly yesterday. I thought his game was truly horrible. Made some bad mistakes. He's a senior player and has been inept in our 3 games this year. Should be dropped. Melbourne doesn't have much going on in the ruck stakes. Good opportunity for Angus and Patto.

Wallace won't drop him though. Won't take the risk in what could be his last game.
 
GT - good onya mate. You are right on the money.

Simmo did not even deserve a shower after yesterdays effort. What a shocker. Still I bet you that the Sunlamp Kid will keep this dud in the team
 
We couldn't do worse than rotating the young rucks through to give them some much needed game time - similar to when Luke Darcy went down at the dogs and Minson and their other young ruckman (can'tr remember who it was) assumed the ruck duties. Simmonds is a real liability at the moment.
 
Simmo is playing poorly but drew his battle with Hudson on Monday. We actually beat the Doggies in hitouts and clearances on the weekend.

Vickery, on the other hand, played a solid game for the Couburg reserves and isn't ready. There is no need to destroy his body by promoting him too early.
