There were question marks bout this kid all over the place during pre season (unfounded of course).

Tell me that isn't one happy as **** freo boy

 

[Seppo]

“Consistency, on and off the field,” Simpson said.

“(They said) keep on doing that, and when your chance to play (arrives), take it with both hands.”

He sure did take his chance..

 

[scon]

Pretty comfortable with 1st game at home and he would be too.
More importantly and slightly paradoxically I think he'll be disappointed.Could have made more of it but he'll get thirst and drive from the taste.
Gonna be an entertaining,crowd favorite champion.

Loved the kids enthusiasm just loved every second being out there. Just wished he put away that goal!

 

[estibador]

It was a fun atmosphere today with the crowd willing him on and lifting every time he got near the ball. He's going to be a lot of fun to watch.

 

[Ripper]

Good stuff! I reckon the 5 tackles were the best part of his game today , followed closely by his kick to Tabs (a bit of peel experience there I think).

The more He plays the more He will do the same with the others.

 

[dthom]

Yeah, good outing for Simpson. Certainly did enough to suggest that he should keep his spot over Sheridan.. Also, noticed his use of the ball in congested spots was first class.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

the way he sung the song in the huddle ... doesn't look homesick anymore ... if he can keep it up, he will be in the ears of the likes of dayle garlett telling them what it takes to be an AFL player.

 

[Mockcockpit]

You play your way in and you play your way out. The Freo brains trust must be thrilled with the young fella, gonna be an absolute gun for us. Stoked.

 

[scon]

You'll make the sacrifice and lose a few more games of pool to George to keep the goss coming Rip??

 

[scon]

They call him the Flash but that's only his kicks,you can't see his hand balls they're that quick,measured and decisive.

I'm not silly enough to play pool with Him.

 

[Sman-21]

Very impressed by his tackling.
For such a light frame he had no trouble tackling anyone on the team full of big solid bodies(essendope).
Wont keep spot over Sheridan he will be the Walters replacement

 

[E Shed]

Great interview. Not overawed by speaking to the camera and a thoughtful young man too.
Very excited by his future prospects.

 

[Tazmania]

They call him the Flash but that's only his kicks,you can't see his hand balls they're that quick,measured and decisive.

He fired one off in the last quarter that caught the target (Pearce?) by surprise it was so fast.

 

[Freo Shark]

He's a guy you want to see do well, and when he does he makes you smile and pump yer fist!

So far so good !!

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Not a bad outing for him. Imagine what he could be at 50 games.

 

[moobilised]

Can't wait for this kid to really settle into the best 22. He's the next Cyril, or even better still, the next Walters! !

 

[scon]

Or even better still the first YALGOO FLASH!!

 

[Crippa]

Very impressed by his tackling.

How big are Josh's thighs getting? Sheesh, the boy is strong.

 

[Moo]

I was surprised at how strong he was in holding his feet in the contest.

Plus his hands/decision making ...very impressive.

P.S. Go Wildcats

 

[free at last]

Shows that we've got a very sound culture down at the harbour now.Since RTB has arrived the development of our players has been outstanding.

I really believe we'll stay at the top for a fair while,similar model to the cats.

Noticed that at the intra club.In case anyone's forgotten that was when a heap of troopers said he was useless and gorn.

 

[Quay Club]

Very impressed by his tackling.

Wont keep spot over Sheridan he will be the Walters replacement

He showed that his tackling and pressure acts are going to be a bonus to his silky skills.
As he said himself you cant really call the St Kilda game his debut as it was a nothing game so this was his first chance to play in front of a big home crowd.
He is going to be something special and the best part was the broad smile after the game showed he is enjoying himself and wants more.
Go the Flash!
