[Booney]

Wayne Mahoney didnt mind a scuffle.

[whufc]

I wouldnt put Sims in the hard nut type, more a hit from behind and run kind of bloke.

Then when he goes face to face with some one he ends up with his eye completley shut.

I remember when Inside Sport did an article on hardmen of the AFL and put Matthew Robran in for the Crows

[Psyber]

They didn't nickname Neil Kerley "Kniuckles" just for his mangled fingers..

Phil Carman

[nickname]

In my time watching Westies, the pick of those who enjoyed hurting opponents:
Ray Hayes
Joe Humphreys
Bruce Stevenson
Ron Andrews
Mark Dreher

But 'hard' in terms of fearlessness would be a player very few remember and who didn't play many league games, but I've never seen a more courageous player than Tim Baldwin. Recklessly indifferent to his own well being.

you're kidding right?

West started the dirty tactics, & yes, Sims belted some no-name from West.
After that, West players & support staff ensured all future fights were 2 or 3 on to 1- hold a bloke down while someone else belts them.
So yes, Sims had his eye closed up, not by the guy he was facing off with, but from behind.

I should watch these fights prior to going to Richmond Oval...

Only a red&white eyed North fan could not see the thug in Sims.
