Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - [The Age] Jy's mgmt have sounded clubs out about their interest in Jy as he wants more midfield time

[archereleven]

Have you looked at how many first round draft picks are “working on deficiencies” in the 2’s? And all bar one has been on our list for 3 years or more. Criminal recruitment or development or, most likely, both.....

Mate, under Bard you work on deficiencies in the magoos until any sign of offensive minded football has been quelled.

Transformation is complete once you hit the seniors with NFI where to go or what to do with or without ball in hand.

I'm far from a Jy hater, but Cunnington as a youngster was frequently going back and notching up 30-40 disposals in the VFL. Correct me if I'm wrong but had Jy done that?

Don’t think he’s ever played vfl

I missed this earlier but I don't think he's played any VFL. So no he hasn't done it but I guess he gets his chance this weekend.

I hope he’ll get his arrogance back. Interested to see where he plays.

 

[HTPunter]

Hope he can make it as a mid long-term but this omission from the seniors has been a long time coming.

Too slight. Not good enough endurance to make up for his build.

Good month in the VFL working to utilise what he currently has to become an AFL standard player. Make it through the year and then go again hard at pre-season to get himself up to strength.

Had a game in the VFL when coming back from his shoulder injury, hardly touched it but was still promoted to the AFL team.

Bit different now tho. They dropped him to find form.

You can't underscore what "arrogance" or confidence can do for a player. Put him in the middle and just let him go for it.

 

[Caracas]

He stays in. Jy is definitely not the problem.

Lol.... or not

 

[The Nostradamus]

Would have played him over Tarryn and had him deep in the forward line

 

[Del191229]

Jy was one of the few who had a dip last week, baffling from Scott but hey, I should be used to it.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Responded well get him and Ahern back in

 

[Jesslc]

Jy with 32, a goal and 5 tackles. Very good.

 

[giantroo]

Finished with 33 disposals, 5 tackles and a goal playing in the guts.

 

[Junk yard]

Answers the forward or mid debate, not sure we can afford Jy and cunners in the same midfield. Positive signs at least.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Wonder if he was just told to go out there and play footy on instinct instead of being over coached and bogged down by maintaining his zone and structure.

I think he can play both forward & mid, his craft as a crumbing small forward is too good to overlook.

 

[Horizons_00]

Jy with 32, a goal and 5 tackles. Very good.

So under a different coach and he plays like this?

Right

 

[Gasometer]

The rocket that was needed

 

[darko]

Well done Jy. Back it up next week and you'll be back in no time.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Disagree that he needed a rocket, he just needed some relief from the pressure of playing unnaturally.

 

[Elite Master]

Those are some really good numbers. Needs another week or 2 of good performance and then he should come back in IMO.

Definitely needed a rocket. His effort was not of a AFL footballer.

A rocket back to the VFL for clarification and it should have happened before now

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Good response. I hope he still shuts a few of us up, me included.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Was very rusty early, but got better as the game went on. Cracked in hard all day.

It might sound an odd thing to state, but I would keep him down there for a bit longer.
