The game has passed him and Murphy by. If Marchbank and Doc were fit, Simmo wouldn't get a game. Murphy will play his 250th, but won't play many more.
He can't stick a tackle because his shoulders are stuffed. He won't barrel into packs any more not because he lacks courage, but he's had bad knocks to the head, a badly broken jaw etc. He has always had issues with hitting a target when he passes. He's been a loyal servant to the club, but it's over.
Simmo is in the same boat, but for different reasons.

If Doc was fit, Simmo wouldn’t get a game this year.

massive amounts of negativity....f'n insane.
It's a scratch match....we're trailing by 3 points.
What a bunch of Richmond supporters...(pre recent success).

Happy with kids in settlefield Walsh Cunningham and Weitering but sadly some things are still bottom 2 quality - when the real stuff starts just can’t carry players like Polson or Garlett.
Surely we have others who can actually contribute instead of keeping on persisting with these guys.
And omg does Roos ever shut the f*** up!! Had to mute the commentary.

A better quarter but still plenty of room for improvement.
Re: JLT Round 2 - Blues v Pies (11 March, Monday holiday) - bignic - 03-11-2019
Agree, especially about Polson. Not up to it. Garlett has got the ability, but lacks that something which would make the difference between what he is now, and what he could be.
Interesting, how murphy picked our main weakness in the half time interview he just did. their delivery into the forward line compared to ours.

Agreed bignic! Watched a fair bit of JLT games so far (much to the chagrin of the wife) and from what I've seen of the other highly ranked blokes (Lukosius, Rankine, Rozee, Smith, King etc), Walsh is vastly superior and ready made....the others have shown brief glimpses here and there but Walsh looks like a 60 game "veteran" already.
I think Simpson will play his role and probably still very important to the structure without Docherty there. But we lack a player who can take advantage of these new kick-in rules.....look at Hurn from West Coast....run 20m and then put it beyond the centre with one kick. As some commentators have said, it defeats the purpose with these new rules if you're going to chip it 20m sideways from a kick-in and get hemmed in...especially if you don't have the elite kicking skills that other teams seem to have at the moment.
