Re: Kade Simpson 200 games Reply #16 – September 10, 2013, 06:47:31 pm For a bloke who couldnt touch the footy in his first 2-3 games he has been a great get at pick 45.....the norm for players is to take it a bit easier when contesting as they get older but Kade has actually gone the other way and got harder at the ball as he has got older and is one of the bravest players in the comp.Been very durable as well and hardly never misses a game...lets hope he can get to 300.

Re: Kade Simpson 200 games Reply #18 – September 10, 2013, 08:36:33 pm A great effort from one of the present day stalwarts of the club.More than a few were baying for his blood after an average start to this season but he has adjusted to his new role with style and class.Well done Simmo!!

For a pick 65 (I think it was!) he has done very well, as the saying goes, it not how you start that matters, it's how you finish, and Simmo is finishing beautifully !!!Pick 45. I was amazed that he fell to our pick: he had played pretty well at the U18 carnival. However, teams were put off by the fact that there simply wasn't much of him. Well, we took the risk and reaped the reward! Well done, Kade. Only the top shelf manage 200 games. Quote Selected

Re: Kade Simpson 200 games Reply #23 – September 10, 2013, 09:27:13 pm Since it's Simmo's 200th, the boys could show him the ultimate respect by playing the way he plays for 4 quarters. Now that would be something. Quote Selected
