Simmo is an out and out superstar. I'm too scared to think about what our club would have been like without him over the last 5yrs. What he has been able to do in this game, with his body type & the brave way he plays, is nothing short of incredible. He is the Quarterback of our team. He showed it again today. Composed at all times, organising (with Docherty) and those young kids like Williamson, Ploughman and Marchbank are gonna learn so much from him.
And that goal....with the little shimmy to fool the defender........
Yes. I do have Man Love for Simmo.
What gets me about Simmo is that he has ZERO All Australians. Yup, not a single one.
Someone like Corey Enright has 6 basically playing the same role.

Tell me that based on those stats, one player should have 6 AA's and the other 0.
Perhaps Enright had some standout years by comparison? Lets look at his last 3 AA's and compare with Simmo the same year.

Simmo deserves a lot more credit from the footballing world.
