Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026

[shinboner magic]

Agree to disagree. IQ gets to play unaccountable off half back in one of the best teams in the comp and isn’t very damaging.

He played mostly lockdown role this year and did a great job

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Really? Quaynor is nowhere near Simpkins level.

They wouldn’t give Quaynor up and if they would and he would move we’d take it and run. I can’t see who Collingwood would realistically give up that would be a fair swap. But that’s their problem, their midfield needs help, they should be looking at their options.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Will be a future First and fringeish player who actually wants to leave Coll and play each week with us. No way we get a best 18 player.
Cant think of one. Dont underestimate the jy contract. If they pay his full $$, they wont give that much back.

They are shelling out ridiculous amounts for Perryman and Houston, no way they are taking on another player they have to pay a lot to. It’s a tricky one from many angles.

 

[DuckYeah]

Who did Jye, barrack for?

Collingwood, his entire family are full blown Collingwood nuff nuffs

 

[Shermanator]

I've said it before but he'll be our Deledio

I was flicking through and read this as..

I've said it before but he'll be our Dildo

 

[Gasometer]

Larkey will be Captain

Awesome

Hope those tantrums get worked out

 

[Gasometer]

No, he followed Essendon or *

 

[King Hansen]

I’d be asking for this guy as part of the deal, two years on their list, yet to debut has been playing half-back and mid in the VFL, had 36 disposals against us.

Ahh the ol they played well against us so let's get him. He could be a bust.

 

[DuckYeah]

No, he followed Essendon or *

He followed * and then the rest Wobblers? Fair enough, i know his family were telling him to move to collingwood before he signed the deal

 

[hilly]

Quaynor?! Pies would laugh us out of the room.

 

[archereleven]

If he goes to the pies, we'd have to drag another team into the fray to get value...

The filth have **** all.

 

[justroyal]

I’d have no problem seeing Jy get the same treatment as clarry and watch him on the wing in the VFL for four years

 

[tales129]

Pay 70% of his salary and try and leverage 26 and 27 first rounders.

They’ll be 12-18 in each year.

But he’s one head knock away from
Being medically retired and not having to pay anything as it will get sorted outside the cap

Pay all of it if we get those picks. Pies could implode at any time.

 

[danj]

I honestly can’t remember who broke the Jy looking around story.

Play on words mate bolded mast head cos it should have read dick head

AFL media are like a school of piranha chewing on a small piece of meat in a little pond

Kudos tales this is the ruthless thinking I like.

if only Maynard delayed signing his new long term contract….

[perplexed]

Hawks waiting on Merrett outcome also.

I think this is a good chance and would help us extract a better return.

It would be a bit of a gathering of Clarko's vanquished foes. Jy, who clearly can't work with him. Mitchell, who he also dumped as captain and later shipped off to WC. Ratten who couldn't work with him either after stepping in as coach when Clarko took his break. Funnily enough Ratten was coach when Jy got offered his current contract.

 

[DuckYeah]

His instant profile picture has changed. No north top on, I think thats it Just take his entire contract, give us a half back that is a best 22 player and i’ll be happy.

But… there isn’t only one thing North can do now? What a weirdo.

If he goes, Jy is on the second tier of dominos - once the first choice mids (Petracca, Oliver etc) are off the table, contenders like Adelaide, Hawthorn, Pies who are looking to top up will move on to the next option, as Themanbun suggests.

All points to a last minute scramble (if it happens at all)

 

[koshari]

or my sliding doors ,

if jy wants more midfield minutes,....


i would be playing as much midfiled minutes as jy at collingwood next season.


realistically he would be good depth for them but no way we are paying a percentage of jys wage to offload him when you could sail the bismak through our TPP without going near the cap
