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

[ozzyoslo]

He has a bag full of tricks doesnt he?? Eddie Betts like tricks.....fun times ahead !! Just play him, he has "IT"

 

[ozzyoslo]

I don't think he will ever be a booming kick but that's ok. When he is playing on the wing, his steps out of trouble will mean he will carry it 5-10 meters in many occasions

He is the type of player that makes players around him better though......me likey !!

Hypnotising isn't it?

 

[dus]

There is no ****ing way he took that out.

 

[Unity-28]

There is no ******* way he took that out.

mate, we sit on level 2, literally in line with the boundry, at the right angle, and it wasnt even that close to the line. the umpire guessed. it really is starting to get to the point that we need to make umpires and their decisions accountable, just like players, coaches and clubs in general.

 

[Gasometer]

Someone on this website gave him a big rap last year before the draft. Don't remember whop but they were right on. This kid has something.

That stuff on the boundary that was "out" ... unreal. Third game draft pick doing that, backing himself ... fantastic. And I loved that goal on the line in front of Garner. His hunger was excellent.

Yes I posed the question in the draft thread out of personal intersr and someone gave the big tick.

I will find the One with Wisdom today

That goal of the year by Betts last year was out ....this wasn't.

[ferball]

Cunnington like, but with mobility instead of brute strength. And in his third game!!!!

He is so good at it he even sold candy to the umpire in making him believe it was out when it was still in

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Going to be our best player by year 3.

RIP Boyd's ankles.

 

[deano28]

What I love about this kid and Garner as well to a lesser extent is how little both have played in the last 18 months , add to the fact that they've both had precious little pre seasons is that it was on a pretty big stage not just for themselves but the club as a whole , the boys lifted and found another gear ... that's what match winners do . that's great teams have ... forwards that can swing a game in 5 minutes & we have 2 of them sitting in our forward line as well as Wood and I've also got very high hopes for McKay . F*** I'm excited .

Just fingers crossed they stay out of the medical room!

 

[Lavy_Panther]

He's special.

But desperately needs to work on his set shot routine! Never looks likely when he's lining up. Hopefully that'll come though.

 

[SMaturin]

Should get the rising star nom this week - more importantly already has the media onside.

Yeah , unfortunately that can count for more than performance

 

[Kimbo]

As Bruce said after that out of bounds call "woooooaaaah we've got ten years of watching this kid ahead."

Was between JJ orgasms.

 

[Kimbo]

Best since laurie dwyer.

Does he have a nickname? Some seem to recur.

 

[koshari]

Lauries nickname was Twinkletoes. happyfeet is prolly a more individual one for jy.
