Toast 150 Games - Tom Atkins

This man




A true heart & soul player - he may not be the prettiest player out there, but there's not too many others you'd want in the trenches beside you. And I'll debate all night long that he should be our next captain

Absolutely love this guy (if folks hadn't guessed) and everything he represents

Let's celebrate his milestone in style on Saturday afternoon

I like his "groundedness". He gets the best out of himself, consistently.

He will make a great Captain because as a player, he's boiled down success to a few simple things done repeatedly well. You can see that when he addresses the media.

Comparing other players to him completely misses this dimension. He puts his body on the line. Many times he is the fuel that sparks the resistance. He's a superhero in a suburban dad outfit.

Like I always say, he is the Max Rooke we craved for.

My boy Tommy. Great to see his progression but he has always had the G&D. As I've said before his father was known locally by some as "crazy eyes".

Such a pivotal player for us. When the midfield is down, you can rely on Axe giving 200% tackling his heart out to limit the opposition midfield.

I like how he’s more outspoken now, taking media duties. It’s great to hear what he has to say.

So good to see him achieve 150, much more to come.

He's gonna get ya

You look up the word "underrated" in the dictionary, and you find this staring back at you....

We always do well with these mature so-called lesser light players, since his AFL step up, how good has Tom been for a bit of toughness and tackling around stoppages for our team, amazing. Good on you Tommy!
And now we've added Mannagh too!

 

[dazbroncos]

He’s this generations version of Max Rooke in the way he plays.
No fuss, hard yards always and no personal accolades.. just get it done for the team and win flags till he can’t walk any more.

Go Catters
