If Dawson was in the team he would have taken Buddy last week where Simpkin didn't.
They don't play on the same players.
Having said that ........... gee this kid has really impressed me this year.
well - the coach probably should have given tom a crack on buddy - at least after half time.
not toms fault. lets see what happenes next time we play hawks. coach is getting more confident in tom. so will be different next time.

not saying it's Toms fault. Just saying Dawson and Simpkin are different and hard to compare.

yeah. i understand that. but im also saying they actually might play on similar players. cos tom can play on taller opponents (like maxy did).
was a big f*k up playing dempster on buddy.

Don't really disagree on that but unfortunately our hands were tied.
Simpkin was holding Roughead perfectly. I actually liked the fact Simpkin was given a role and Scotty had him stick to it for a full 4 quarters.
He is still finding his feet and I believe giving him a task and sticking him to it is what he needs.
"It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress."
yeah fair enough.
i guess maybe he could have used blake on buddy and given rhys more rucktime against the hawks.
seems scotty kind of figured that out this week and it worked much better.
