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

I thought the opposite for a year and a half. He doesn't have the pace for a forward so his traffic work is much more suited to the middle.

He'd be a gun anywhere on the ground.

It’s all clicked for Jy. He’s arrived. Another big preseason and he will explode in 2020 as a full time mid.

Mesmerising.

Now him in the middle adds a lot of defensive pressure. Also he brings a lot of flair in close. Players like Cunnington is a liability when never doesn’t have the ball. Ziebell isn’t too flash against fast moving opp, he Is a monster attack in close but not too good in fast traffick.

Personally Cunners is never a liability in my opinion

He’s not too useful when ball is not in his hand but he is a unmovable object, one of the strongest mid in close quarters and there will be a lot of those situations in a game. However we risk having too many in and under type as before but because of the addition Anderson and Simpkin, we have too highly attacking player so who generates a lot of buzz and can run both ways. One day if atley can be full time mid or even on ball then it’s adds new dynamic to the game. I still atley has a couple of gears to go. Him off a half back is in his comfort zone but to become elite' he needs to be given new challenges. He is only still 26 can u believe it.

Needs to back it up.

Wow! I will eat humble dick. Was brilliant today and been great since moving into the midfield. Hunted the ball hard and has a tank, love the freedom these kid's are playing with under Shaw. Handbrake is off!!!

 

[Flawed Genius]

We are watching the little mongrel arrive

What a month of footy

36 touches, 9 clearances, 3 tackles and a goal

6 I50s, 391 metres gained ... From 77% TOG

 

[Benj7]

Some people were calling him a 10 touch player wow

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

So, dropping guys to enable them to return with a bit of confidence actually helps?

What? Surely not.

 

[Mjs94]

Even better than last week, he was the leader in there today. Starting to arrive.

 

[king rising]

Becoming a star very quickly

 

[guapo]

Brilliant game from start to finish. 2020 Syd

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

This is what LDU will be producing at the same stage

10 per quarter.

 

[Shermanator]

Has the swagger when Ben10 gets the tagger.

Unstoppable.

Its no knock on ldu to say he will never be as clean as jy was today. Few Operating theatres are as clean as jy was today.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Over his last month of footy which includes a 9 touch game vs GWS

He averages 23 touches, 6 clearances, 5.7 I50s

 

[Jesslc]

Love to see the comments from a month ago calling him a dud first round pick.

 

[Snake_Baker]

50th game next week, and he's arriving on cue.

Classical North BF gratification delay behavior.
