Toast Welcome To Freo Cooper Simpson (pick 35 2023 AFL Draft)

[Spirit Level]

Either needs to be sub for the Sydney game, or have a stint in the WAFL.

Love his skills and speed, just needs to learn how to find it

 

[E Shed]

Bit disappointing but not every player can grasp it straight up.
Needs a bit more seasoning in the WAFL, hopefully he's more prepared next time a chance comes up.

 

[Big Flappy]

Had a taste of it. Understands the speed differences. Bring back switta for next week and let him have a few weeks smashing the wafl. Could be handy inclusion later in the season when we need some energy.

 

[Joao]

I don't think it is the speed that gets him at AFL level, its the physicality.

 

[Bigger]

Yep. He was a bit polite in a contest with Dusty. (I would have shat my daks so more power to him).

Needs to feel like he not only belongs but can boss the situation. It will come.

 

[james haish]

Use him as sub again.

 

[freo1]

Pretty easy decision i feel, that he makes way for Switta.

The kid will be great for us and he's had a good taste now, but if Switta is fit then its an easy call.

Yesterday in the opening quarter or two I barely noticed Simpson - it took him a while to get his first touch and i barely even saw him in the vision on screen.

I am a fan of his though, but time for him to head back to peel and get some good numbers.

Yeah that contest wasn't a great look tbh. Maybe a bit gun shy after knocked around at Peel from all reports?

after he'd scragged Amiss' in the 4th once Grimes realised who had dragged him off he prompty asserted himself and Coop got up humbled, I love his tenacity and once he fills out he'll be a ripper.

excellent, stoked for the young man!! He's a humble and articulate speaker, but an excitement machine (in waiting) on the pitch. Can't wait until he scores goals, settles and shows his wares at this level, because although he's raw now - he belongs

 

[Footskill]

Good to see he has good role models to learn off in banners and switta.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Prob gets dropped this week if Switta is ok to return

But stoked he's signed on, I mean it would be pretty awkward given he's already stated he will be a one club player ha

Signing an extension used to be the absolute guarantee a young player was getting dropped.
