All together now...

"You gotta accen-tuate the positive
Elim-inate the negative
Latch on to the alternative
Don't mess with Mr In-between."

I see Simmo as our Adam Schneider (different type of play and position, obviously, but you know what I mean....)

Hmmmmmmmmm. Was that goal on the run in the dying minutes of the game one of the sweetest things you ever saw?

Very lucky to have him.

2 picks from that draft were on fire today! Fisher deserves some credit too!

Well done boys!!!!!!

Except for last week, 1 goal 3... his kicking was way off... wasn't his day.

But for an Emerald boy at pick number 45, playing as good as he has... you gotta love him.

I still have no idea why all those others ignored Simmo. He was a very good player for Vic Metro that year. I don't remember if he got All Australian or not, but he had that good a carnival. I was very happy when he was still available at pick #45, even if he did take a while to mature (and with his frame I am not surprised that it DID take a while).

i put this up on talkingplayers as well but here's a mock draft of 2002 and it has kade predicted to go at no.20 so we were very fortunate to have him available at 45:

Be careful, we picked up Carrazzo and let Davey through too the keeper.

As much as I like Carrazzo of course

Kade wasn't a stand out as a junior, just a good honest battler...

In the end he was a late bloomer, lucky us!

He was an All Australian at U18 level

But it sounds better his way.

I'm suprised to hear that....

What i said came from one of his junior couches i believe...

Go Simmo!
