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

[Ichiro #51]

Thats your subjective opinion. You probably think Jy is an A grader

He’s an A grader where we need him to be ie: preparation, commitment to the club and his teammates, and attack on the pill.

I can’t argue with that. Do you think it matters that he is leading a young team of A graders (core group) and when on the field he is not even in their league. How long will he be able to lead them before they turn? How long before they start resenting him because he’s got 35 years to go on a contract? How many more team mate burns do you think they can handle?

 

[justroyal]

I’d hate to think of our win loss record if we didn’t have his A grade influence around the ground

 

[King Corey]

28 possessions, 7 tackles, 2 goals against WC in a rotation that included Wardlaw, Sheezel, LDU, Powell.

Turns up and runs himself into the ground for the team. Love him.

I don’t think it matters. There might be resentment if he was lazy, selfish and generally a prick of a bloke, but he is clearly the opposite of those things. I’d wager they’d all be extremely grateful to him for doing everything he can to help them play their best footy.

That was his best game he’s ever played. Didn’t you hear his team mates after the game? “Couldn’t believe he kicked em, he never kicks em”

 

[AnEmptyChair]

it's legit ****ing wild to have a deranged vendetta against a bloke who has represented our footy club with nothing but distinction and a huge amount of courage as both a player and captain.

what a genuine ****head

Hope you’re right. 2025 is going to be a different year. Lets see if he can keep up

No no. You should go back to 2021/2022 and see what I was saying about Jy. I think he has served his purpose. I think the team is going beyond him and that he is a liability for future success. He was great in 21/22 with his leadership in shit years. Phenomenal. I think the team is where its at is because of Clarkson and Viney. If we didn’t have those 2, we might have seen a massive exodus of players.

Now he's served his purpose we should piss him off then.

That's the perfect way to get loyalty and commitment from those guns. Good call.

[Gasometer]

Honest?

Shannon Watt copped less than Jy in his day on BF

 

[the big lebowski]

Guess who put the block on Taranto so ldu could explode through 50 unmanned from stoppage for his second goal?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Those young guys aren't conditioned to handle the role as a full time mid just yet.
Jy will be best 22 for a few more years at least, even at half forward or as an interchange player.

 

[giantroo]

 

[ferball]

Trade bait.

 

[tazaa]

Both Chief and Kingy mentioned he was going at 56% by foot in the third quarter of Saturdays game.

They went as far as pretty much calling him the anti-Sheezel.

No one doubts he runs hard and cracks in but if you cannot kick it hurts the team.

He’ll move to half forward next year.
Where he belongs. Let’s leave it at that.
