Toast Tom Atkins

Sorry buddy.
Gun, star. Not superstar.
That title belongs to about 20 in history. Tops.

Scarlett is the GOAT defender.

• 3x Geelong premiership player (2007, 2009, 2011)
• 6x All-Australian team (2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011)
• Australian Football Hall of Fame

Are we seriously arguing over the meaning of star vs superstar?

And in the tom atkins thread to boot.

So, does that mean year to year? If his form continues would other clubs be sniffing around? Can't be on big bucks at the moment.

75k + extras, he's on track to bring in $170-180k at this rate ... and i think his rookie deal is 2 years guaranteed.

Actually, that's why it started. Superstar and Atkins were used in the same sentence.

Im probably Tom Atkins biggest fan - was liking him for AFL list last year - and he's not a superstar. I dont think his ceiling is that high.
What he can be is a solid 200 game player that gets the most out of himself for the club.

You will never say at the end of one of his games he could have tried harder. Gives it his all out there.

You are correct that that's a stretch too far.

Spot on Daz. This is why people need to stop trying to give him a nickname when Tommy Atkins is already his perfect nickname. Mustachioed trench fighter who sticks at it.
