Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - 2021 & 2022 Syd Barker Medalist - 2023 co captain with LMac - re-signed until end of 2029

[The Nostradamus]

Him and LDU give me hope

 

[Psicosis]

Despite rapid improvement in his last 3 games, still appears to only be playing approx 70% of game time... Is this concerning to anyone? Let me be clear, I'm not concerned in Jy, he has really impressed me since returning from the VFL. I'm concerned as to why he is only getting 70% of game time when he could be playing closer to 80%...

I also read a post on here (I don't recall who posted) about our centre square numbers, and Jy was quite low. Would like to see an updated centre square stats since Jy returned from VFL and has played predominantly as a mid.

My point is, Jy has shown that he can be a damaging midfielder at the elite level now - need him in there as much as possible for the rest of the year.

Nope.

Still think his left foot pass to Brown was the best kick inside 50 I’ve seen this decade.
Degree of difficulty was 100/100.

He gets double points for it being his opposite side. Closest I can remember is a McKenzie kick to Petrie??? in Perth.

We know how bad a year we are having when we carry on because an AFL footballer can kick a good pass.

 

[king of the road]

Good young player, down on confidence. It happens.
Perhaps putting too much pressure on himself? He’ll come good.

Not an earth shattering observation - but compared to the short sighted negative vibe merchants who write young players off due to a couple of quiet games, it looks visionary.

Well I am actually ill atm but anywho I don’t think it’s in this thread looking back but have a vague recollection it was in the Good Friday Autopsy Thread

Does not matter! It was in his head! Leather starvation was killing him!

Some game. He also showed up a few daydreaming teammates with his quick gives, most of whom duly reacted to the pass like someone reading in a library getting hit with a random Sherrin would.

Was "ridic" as the youth of today would say
