Jy Simpkin exploring bombshell move away from North

The captain has four years to run on his contract but has harboured frustrations over his role in the team.

Just chuck him on the pile for Vic captains trying to move

Sam Mitchell believed to have had dinner with him last night.

Not just Vic captains.

Lucky we re-signed Bont before he found out captains can leave

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Not just Vic captains.

WA captains just move as FA, much smarter than Vic captains

This guy on 1 mill a year? HOW? He is beyond average

Be careful or I’ll organise dinner for Sam and him as well.

 

[Foxman98]

In all seriousness though who the fcuk would want Jy on a million bucks for 4 years?

North have a decent midfield but not star studded enough to give him many other options lower then them (who'd also want him)

I've already been past his cafe and gave them a picture of Sammy and told them to put up that he is on the banned list and to evict him if he tries to enter

 

[Sonny Hayes]

This is an absolute disgrace? A contracted club captain demanding out of his struggling team?

How dare he!

Cats.....if North pay some of his contract?

He'd be a very Geelong type pickup.

Luckily he has his Milk Bar so doesn't have to go out for dinner

Straight replacement for Merrett?
Saints are always on the hunt for mids.

 

[Wild Bill]

This should be easy.

Simpkin to ess as they need a new captain.
Merrett to hawks
Roos get Blues 8

Done.

Cats.....if North pay some of his contract?

He'd be a very Geelong type pickup.

You'd want North paying 400-500k a year for him which they wouldn't do for Geelongs first which will end up in the 20s

Reckon the Eagles could be the go but then becomes what would they have to give up for him,

Personally wouldn't want to give any more then a 3rd rounder for him

if North pay some of the salary there could be some movement here.

I'm not against it. Has been a warrior for us but will continue to drop down the pecking order moving forward. FOS and Colby will be spend big minutes in the middle in 2026.

Also opens up a half forward flank for big game Zane.

 

[Elixuh]

A million dollars a year. He’d be Brisbane’s highest paid player. LOL. Good luck with that.

This what happens when you are a struggling club and have a heap of salary cap where you cant spend it because no quality players want to come. You are stuck with over paying average players just to meet the cap %

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I'd assume until Clarko goes on 360 to complain about how Simpkin hurt him that this would have been broached by both sides. Does make a bit of sense for North IMO

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

This guy on 1 mill a year? HOW? He is beyond average

This is the problem with having the salary floor set so high.

 

[Morro]

Only 27, can play a role and would be handy for the right club, but who would be the right club????

He would be a good get for North.
