' total clone is here in TENNANT CREEK where I am for a few months, and he is working in the bottle shop which of course I frequent. He and I have been celebrating Tom's great year most weeks, and I want to recognise it here for how bloody good he has been for us this year.

From a "dud" last year (and earlier this year) to a lock now. Irony.

Well done Tom, testament to hard work and no small dose of G&D.

 

[allrighty]

C'mon get behind him, he has been bagged on here relentlessly for two years. In all that time he has played his guts out and he has now ...... improved to the point where he is best 22.

What more can we ask?

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Don't know about bagged.

I'm Sure he got a few clips here and there as all players do but I don't think anyone ever once questioned his effort or his intent, just his talent level.

We've had people on here bag Joel. Once that's happening I don't think any Geelong player is safe from scrutiny.

From his first pre-season game it was obvious that Tom Atkins

was a defender played out of position all his life. He just had to tone it down a bit with the free kicks which he has done.

school of Zen and the art of being a hard nut. Keep it going Tommy.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Almost a crucial player for us these days. Hopefully he can get back fully fit.
(Don’t think he was ever a dud. Just played in graveyard positions)

 

[TheYid]

Always saw the potential. His off season in the gym set him up for the tough defensive sweeper he is now. He gets so many quick clean possessions in close that you sometimes don't notice them. He's in our best 22 for sure and seems to be a vital cog in the defensive balance.

 

[Down at K Park]

He’s a junkyard dog. We need more guys with a bit of agro like him.

 

[kittypurry]

Another Scarlo special!

 

[Generalissimo]

I reckon the Brisbane game was probably Atkins's best game for us. He looked pretty composed and his passes were accurate, even under pressure. I don't remember any glaring mistakes either.

 

[Down at K Park]

He’s cleaned up the mistakes, and is looking much more composed.

 

[terry_bright]

He’s cleaned up the mistakes, and is looking much more composed.

The precision possession game didn’t suit his style of playing IMO. The new game style suits him much better IMO

 

[Generalissimo]

I agree. The chip-chip-chip-chippity-chip rubbish game plan didn't suit him so much, but a quick handball through congestion is more his strength.

 

[#cats2021]

Love me some Atkins.

 

[MoggsCreek]

Upset he lost the mo though, was it his punishment for giving away that goal against pies?

 

[Romeoh1]

Has improved a lot and is now a good footballer-reliable, composed, makes good decisions and few mistakes. Well done to him-hard work paying off.

 

[Drunkcat]

Always been a little Tommy fan love the way he just goes and keeps going, have said before if we had 22 Tom Atkins

Forgot about this post

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Forgot about this post

I saw him at Cranbourne in the reserves before he got a gig in the seniors. Straight up I knew he was seniors material. We got smashed by the Demons, but he was doing stuff way beyond 2nds level. Very good vision, quick in congestion.

 

[Generalissimo]

Even the superficial deadshits who write for the AFL website have noticed how well our quiet achiever is going.

Nine things we learned: Pesky Pie's skills back up his swagger

He has been really good consistently. In my head I keep thinking he's a 30 gamer but just checked and he's played 62 now

 

[Drunkcat]

Yet some people when doing best 22 sides they drop Atkins, He should be a Scott favorite in be in best 22 every week

I stopped doing that around middle of last year. You cannot buy that work ethic

 

[00VicWard001]

First player to step in when others are niggled or challenged, just like the Pies game. Does not take a backwards step.
