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

[The Nostradamus]

he'll make that high half forward role his own this year

the elite tank to make it work and can kick goals

 

[shintemaster]

Anyone who doubts the effort from Simpkin is kidding themselves. Every single year he digs deep and comes back bigger, fitter and faster. Can't argue with that.

Rick18 highlighted his lack of effort on a number of occasions last season that directly cost us goals. His defensive application at times can be very poor and doesn't set a great example.

Has always presented in A1 shape.

It’s his on field exploits through the middle, as Captain, that have significant questions over them.

Stand alone skipper and Parker and Larkey co-vice

For one more year. As much as it pains me. As long as Happy Meal first and the. Jy loses it in 2026 i’ll be happy

I'm willing to forgive a few things last year, primarily because:

a) he had his brain scrambled in a ridiculous incident in the pre season and
b) we went from having him as a key primary mid back to a HFF over one pre season it's a tough role at the best of times, tough in a team that can't get the ball forward and it was a big ask expecting him to smash it straight away after several seasons of being "the" main mid

I'm willing to forgive a bit given the above, particularly when compared to some teammates that haven't shown the same internal drive to perform.

You’re making excuses for him. Brain scrambled, have a spell.

 

[Orange Peanut]

Has to be captain again.

What about the talk of him kicking up a stink about having to play forward? Not very Captain like to put yourself ahead of the team.

The way Parker spoke yesterday had me thinking he was our captain

The mid season rumours with no source or legitimacy?

I don't deal in hearsay / rumours.

What on earth are you doing on Big Footy then?

[Billy Not Really]

Jy having a ripper pre-season to have another regular season is pretty par for the course. He'll have a good year if he relinquishes the captaincy, guaranteed.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Clubs band around blokes to help them. We failed TT. Or at the least allowed him to continue the behaviour. Team mates know what players get up to, him hitting the bag and partying at Revs should have been enough for the leadership group to intervene.

Yes, Jy is an incapable footballer but the more I look back on his leadership in the past.. which I have been supportive on, the more failure I see.

Thats exactly what I say after reviewing his tenure as a leader.

Anyone notice Jy getting named on ball with JHF for Indigenous team? It's likely a mock 22 but it'll be funny seeing those two at CBA's.

I wouldn’t be sure Jy should be named on the field in that game

Haven’t been in here for a visit for a while and I will just tip toe around the spew on the way back out
