"He'll be back this week." Simpson declares Sam Mitchell will play against Brisbane

"He's in his second year, he's playing to his strengths and I'm not going to publicly discuss what he has to work on." Simpson on Partington

Sounds to me he isn't going to be getting a gig! But if what has been reported about his disposal being bad then i will back Simmo in like he did with Sheed and Barrass by sending them back to work on their game.

What I don't understand is, they have no problems playing Priddis every week, who offers us absolutely nothing. But Parto can't even crack a debut against the bottom team even when our season is cooked. Priddis is 31 years old and has never been able to kick. So Simmo can't start playing on that Hawthorn beliefe of "if you can't kick, you can't play football". If he doesn't play we better at least see Karpany come back in as well as Lamb and maybe Mutimer.

If Parto can't get a game then I almost think there is no hope of Lamb getting one.

Can't wait to see Priddis/Mitchell/Hutchings centre square combo.

This is just straight up BS. What more must this kid do? He needs to work on things but Simpson wont elaborate?

This reeks of utter horseshit

Well it's been said before that he needs to work on his two-way running. And his disposal efficiency was in the 40s on the weekend. That'd be two things that you'd want him to improve on. Whether they cost him a spot this week is another matter.

As to whether Simpson should be elaborating at a press conference on what he's privately told Partington to work on, you can definitely see why he wouldn't want to do that.

If thats indeed the case, then by the same rationale and standards, Priddis and Le Cras should in the WAFL this weekend to work on their disposal efficiency and defensive pressure .

Either simpson has to apply these standards to everyone, or he applys them to nobody.

At the moment, he has a blatant double standard, and it stinks.

 

[flyinghi64]

Had been in ripper form the past few weeks, probably should have won the Rosco medal the week before.

But he played on when he shouldn't have in the final term. Delist immediately.

Trying to take the game on to get the ball forward to score when the game was on the line.
Maybe he should have tried to run the clock down like most of his team mates were doing with 5 min on the clock.

having a turnover while trying to do the right thing is excusable, having one from making a bad decision isn't.
Don't change Duggo.

Is Simmo implying the seniors have nothing to work on?
Everyone has something to work on...

Yeah it's terrible. He must be the only coach in the league treating 200 game players differently from uncapped rookies.

 

[kaII]

Melts are justified tbh

 

[Boohemian]

I thought Simpson fronts the media in conjunction with team announcements. What was the point of that press conference? Pretty much reiterated everything that has been said previously.

 

[DanWCE]

Hearing some rumours that Parto has been asked to work on his coffee making skills as Simmo is not happy with the coffee to milk ratio nor the froffyness.

Maybe he isn't a big believer in doing his 45-a-day, so he is being punished by the selection panel?

Hehe.two way running?? You make it sound like our midfield brigade are all two way runners.you will have a very difficult time convincing me that our starting mids are two way runners.If they were, then your argument for parto working on his two way game to get a game is valid.Im pretty sure at this stage his one way game is better than most of the starting ng mids.

"If we had run out games, we probably wouldn't be having these conversations." Simpson

He loves stating the obvious sometimes.

 

[avishka5]

Gaff is cooked (can't run out games anymore)
Shuey is cooked (struggling to run out games)
Priddis is 100% cooked
Sheed doesn't have a huge tank.
Lecras cooked
Cripps possibly cooked?


thats 4 mids struggling to run out games. Surely one of them can be rested or in priddis's case dropped and never to be seen again.

We have lost four games by under ten points when we have been well in front earlier in the games though .
Losing to GC , Melbourne , GWS , Collingwood was tough on the look of our season and how competitive we have been in almost all games .
