Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - 21/22 SBM - 23/24 CoCapt

[hotchilli]

Jy's reaction to Cunners retirement says it all about how much Cunners has meant to the footy club.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Simply refused to be subbed out today. Copped a bad bicep stinger/corkie in the second quarter. They couldn't get him out of the game. Great leadership to carry on for his mate

 

[amaz199]

22 possies, 3 tackles and 1.1 despite the corkie.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

A couple of very ordinary late contests.

Surprised we haven’t seen more chat about Jys year and ceiling……

He was bloody ordinary for most of the year but battled concussion and injury. I'll back him to improve under Clarkson in 2024.

Might have not been his best year but still wore his heat on his sleeve under difficult circumstances in my opinion.

Are you fishing or have you looked in at the TT posts today?

It was more the draft concessions

Edit: trying to bring it back in here.
For the record, I’m a fan.

Which planet were you on all year

Yeah, and I for one don’t have a problem with it. One thing our team has lacked is sustained effort, if a bit of passion brings it at this stage then all good.
The disciplined elder statesman approach is the next step, not this year.

The one where he played a lot of ordinary games?

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I would back Jy to finish in the top 5 or 6 in the Syd.

After winning the previous two. So, no ceiling concerns IMO.

Obviously Uranus then.

Football about anything you do not know. Hmmmm

Jog on Yoda. Actually look back at his year rather than acting like a hysterical fangirl and you'll see he failed in impact in many losses.

 

[Disco Dew]

jy did have an ordinary year. It’s not a dig it’s a fact. Had a rough run with injuries/concussions which I’d say played a huge part in that.
He’ll bounce back next season.

I love Jy, I just wish he wouldn't hack the ball, nothing wrong with going long when you can put it to the advantage of a leading forward but his return rate from inside 50s into assists is so bad I am surprised nobody at the club has tapped him on the shoulder and instructed him to dish it off to someone else then try to protect them.

If we do get players like Reid, Sanders, etc the midfield is going to be stacked. I'd hate for him to be left without a role, like Ziebell was when he was an ineffective midfielder, then we had to move him all over the park to see where he could inflict the least amount of damage on our team. I really want him to excel in a role.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

he started the season really well but then the injuries/concussions ruined his momentum and he couldn't find his form again. Looked creative and good when rotating between midfield and half forward at times

it's frustrating that our two best players in Jy and LDU had interrupted seasons when they both looked really good early on. If they both stay fit next year we'll win a lot more games than we did this season.

After a few too many lubrications, I looked in my mirror and saw that…

Ripping nick again jyza. he’s always been fit as ****. Hopefully he can start playing better footy this year. Ive been very disappointed with Jy last couple of years.
