What Was Richmond Really Buying With Tom Sims?
The full RTSSG member feature Don't sleep on Tom Sims. starts with a question that is still worth asking.
Tom Sims arrived with elite testing traits, strong aerial ability and obvious upside. Was Richmond drafting a future key forward, a second ruck, or something less defined?
Sims brought vertical leap, agility and marking talent, but also rawness and inconsistency. Which part of that profile mattered most to Richmond? How much development runway would a tall forward need? And what would distinguish a genuine long-term forward from another promising athletic project?
The point of the Public doorway is not to settle those questions here. It is to identify the evidence, the disturbance and the next question — then leave the synthesis where it belongs: in the full member feature.
