Spoiler: Media Interviews

Simpkin 'unlikely' to remain captain, North take 'strong' stance

North Melbourne footy boss Todd Viney reflects on Jy Simpkin's failed bid to leave the club and what comes next for the club's skipper

Rawlings reviews Trade Period after Simpkin offer, Maley move

Head of football talent Brady Rawlings reviews the Roos' 2025 Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period

EXPLAINER: All the details about Free Agency, Trade Period

Here's everything you need to know about the Trade Period, Free Agency and more

www.afl.com.au

 

[The Talent Scout]

So we've had Jake Niall (Pie Supporter), Xander McGuire (the nepotistic son of Ed), Jay Clark (Pie Sychophant) Ralph (Tugger and big club fan), Cleary (known worm) and Peter Ryan all comment on the Jy situation, including that North should shut up and take a paltry pick.

One might think a degree of coordination of trade by media is going on.

 

[Tas]

Dursma and Jy will end up at Ess is my prediction.
They're just trying to figure out whats happening with merrett before going all in.
Reckon we'll hear about it tues/ early wed and then done by 7pm Wednesday.

The danger with Duursma is if he will just leave next year and what is the risk Essendon may plummet to spoon-grade-bad next year. I wouldn't put it past him to just go into the PSD and we get zip for him. That would be a bad outcome.

 

[perplexed]

We still have a few players without contracts... and we do not have to go to the draft if we get rid of our picks.

You have to take a minimum of three players at the draft - though these can include rookie upgrades. I expect we'll just take two and upgrade Pink. I'm assuming none of those uncontracted players will be re-signed - we have at most one main list and one rookie spot for them or Aleer or others.

 

[Tas]

I thought you have to take 3 players if you participate in the draft, there isn't a requirement that you have to participate. There is no rule you have to delist anyone to make room for additional players as far as I am aware. Unless something changed recently.

Do you ever say anything positive?

You have to participate, and it has been a minimum three selections for quite a while.

Which is why we trade him now

 

[Shinboner1]

Do you ever say anything positive?

Yeah of course.
Just sick of 6 years of shit and being the laughing stock of the league.

 

[shinboner magic]

Yeah of course.
Just sick of 6 years of shit and being the laughing stock of the league.

Yeah we all feel it as well but if we all whined about all the time - I don’t think many ppl would come on here.
Also it doesn’t change what happens on the field

 

[The Talent Scout]

Send Jy to GWS to play with his mate Oliver and watch the Pies drop down the ladder playing Dads Army...

But, but, but, at least Pendles will hold the record.

 

[Shinboner1]

Yeah we all feel it as well but if we all whined about all the time - I don’t think many ppl would come on here.
Also it doesn’t change what happens on the field

Was just giving my opinion on what I think would be happening next week.
Doubt thd club will want dursma to walk for nothing, so better to trade him this year for Max value if he's set on going.

 

[spurs]

Don’t trade Duursma, he’s young and could be anything.
Trade Simpkin for F1 and F2 with Demattia.

 

[spicerFanClub]

You have to participate, and it has been a minimum three selections for quite a while.

You have to make 3 list changes, but rookies count, so you can game the system. Hence Gunston being delisted to be re-rookied for example.

 

[The Talent Scout]

Was just giving my opinion on what I think would be happening next week.
Doubt thd club will want dursma to walk for nothing, so better to trade him this year for Max value if he's set on going.

Hey Shinboner1, I understand your logic but Zane is absolutely going nowhere, he has not even put in a trade request, he will be wearing our colours next year and being a lot fitter we will get glimpses of what he is capable of even if he isn't the finished product. Stop worrying about what might or mighten happen with him, between now and pre-season his fitness & confidence I feel is going to be a marked improvement and it will show up early in the new year, good things are on the way!

 

[spicerFanClub]

Was just giving my opinion on what I think would be happening next week.
Doubt thd club will want dursma to walk for nothing, so better to trade him this year for Max value if he's set on going.

If he's out of contact next year, his only self-drive option is to go into the national or pre season draft. Your theory is right that the trade usually happens because we would want value for him, but the nuclear option is walk him to the draft the let it be roulette where he goes. Would like to see at least one club do this to set a tone.

I'm all for keeping him. He's only one good pre season away from enjoying playing footy. All the public commentary is he needs a tank and doesn't have it. Grass is always greener though and all that...

 

[amaz199]

Duursma is not for sale, lads. Stop trying.

 

[King Hansen]

Don’t trade Duursma, he’s young and could be anything.
Trade Simpkin for F1 and F2 with Demattia.

If pies trade out Demattia, he's probably shit.

 

[spurs]

If pies trade out Demattia, he's probably shit.

If they want Simpkin who’s contracted for 4 years they’ll have to give up something worthwhile. Maybe Ed Allan?

 

[hilly]

Players can put themselves directly into the PSD. Jack Martin in 2019 a good example.

 

[mutant20958]

Pies 2027 f1 in a Jy trade would still be very handy. Remember Tas have to trade picks 5, 7, 11 and 13, so something nice could be packaged up using that pies pick to trade up for a Tas pick

 

[shinboner magic]

Don’t trade Duursma, he’s young and could be anything.
Trade Simpkin for F1 and F2 with Demattia.

Would rather Ed Allan - good size and has shown talent at the level

 

[speedy]

Cmon people, I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet.

If swans pick up Curnow is Logan McDonald gettable?

Phillips for McDonald, make it happen Kane.

 

[giantroo]

 

[speedy]

Cam mooney on sen this morning reckons Simpkin can’t get into Pies midfield unless he waits for a couple of retirements.

They have Ned “**** who” Long playing in their midfield. 25 games, 60% CBA’s and averaging 17 possessions in 2025. And he’s a worse kick than even Jy.

I like Cam he’s normally a straight talker, but it just goes to show you the bias that exits in the media.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Do we still think it's about midfield time or that's the excuse he put out there to test the markets interest?
