Welcome to Essendon - Jonathan Simpkin

Never been a fan. Doesn't play with any heart.
Bit harsh, 85% DE 25 touches, he was better than Cooney (71% DE), Zerrett (64%), Zaka (67%), Goddard (78%), Kelly (72%)

At least he’s somewhat accurate.

I think Bird would be the most like for like simple upgrade change for him. How long is Bird’s injury I wonder? (Cue jokes).

Who?

solid, a few ****ups, but wasn’t crusoe in that regard

I wouldn’t trust those stats.

Simpkin had two shocking kicks in the last that directly cost us two goals.

Essendon midfielder Jonathan Simpkin will spend at least the next six weeks on the sidelines after scans revealed the extent of the damage to his hamstring.

Damn. 6 weeks is a bad hammy tear.

Could literally be career threatening.

With all due respect to Simpkin, doc should’ve called it 8 so we could upgrade Long.

Simpkin now on LTI, rookie spot available

Well that’s basically it from him. Thanks for memories

What memories?

As a general comment rather than a recruiting suggestion per se, this guy is 100% AFL quality and should be playing somewhere most weeks.

Depending how things go with other mature smalls (Cooney, Dempsey, Watson, Howlett, Kelly etc.) I’d be happy to keep him

Keep him?

Simpkin?

On the list?

What on earth are you talking about?

Bahaha

I think with an injury free year he’d have been very useful for 2016. But if we want a Simpkin for 2017, just draft his brother.

Id keep him as an example of how damaging poor disposal is to your side on turnovers.

Simpkin eh?

Joe Misiti in his final season, was quicker than Simpkin.

Good VFL footballer. Adequate top up. Shouldn’t even be considered in our future plans.

We gave him a second chance and he took it as best he could, but he is no where near it at AFL level.
