Shocked to hear this, only 51 years old.
Premiership player in 1991, fantastic fella too.
Condolensces to Mick and family. Mick, Tim and family used to live across the road from my grandma and they were lovely people. Used to chat to Tim quite often when he played. Devastated to hear this.
RIP. :(

Tim was living and working in Tokyo, Japan and suffered a stroke late last week and unfortunately couldn't recover. He was surrounded by family during his last few hours earlier on Monday morning.

Tim was a tenacious young man with an ability to bring other players into the game with his in and under style of play. He played at North through the junior ranks and debuted in 1991 playing 165 games between 91-98 kicking 82 goals. In his last season he helped South Australia to a 45 point win over Western Australia at Football Park. Tim was a dual club best and fairest winner, tying with Tim Perkins in 1995, and claiming the award in his own right the following year.

During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with Mike, the entire family and his many friends.

Very sad, far too young.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.
