Tom has been a super player for this club for a long term and absolutely deserves to play game 200 this week (and many more beyond that).

People just don't get how much of his work is done off the ball and behind the scenes. It's no coincidence that Ben Brown has averaged 3 goals a game when Tom has played this year, and only kicked 1 in the other game.

Ideally Tom shepherds the Harmes goal through, but most of the blame should fall on Weideman who stood in the goal square and watched the whole thing happen.

Weideman has been poor for a month since the Essendon game, although I don't mind him having a run in the ruck to get his hands on the ball as he did on Saturday. If Jackson comes back, Sam should be the one to drop out.

 

And he did.

 

It's a shame he hasn't got more coverage this week. 200 games is a very significant milestone, he has been at the one club and he is a premiership player at the club. 

A couple of years ago we tried to trade him, couldn't and to his credit he worked on his fitness and improved his game. I know Chad Wingard is seen as the flashier player and well done on him getting to 200 if he does play, but he has done it at 2 clubs and he seems to be getting the attention. 

Congrats on 200 games and kicking his 150th goal as well. Played well today, hope he can keep it up.

Well done TMac played your role well today and should have kicked 3. As previously mentioned great to kick your 150th in your 200th game still plenty of gas in the tank as well.!!!

Has been through it all, great effort to make 200 Glancy, a premiership winning legend of our club

Congratulations Tommy - a hard man to keep down.
