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

[anchor man]

Can be a Switta replacement if he does leave.

Yet again, the Switta leaving raises its head again.
Where does this come from?
even the media have not raised it.

 

[anchor man]

As has been mentioned by other posters he gets himself into decent positions at times but is either ignored or just bypassed. Emmett missed him a couple of times, as did Brady Grey. Perhaps he needs to use his voice better or maybe not quite in the right position to be in the kickers field of Vision. He had also a few times been pushed off the ball when going in to collect.

A bit more confidence, increased endurance and added pre-season muscle and he should be impacting the WAFL games more next year.

A pre preseason. But I suspect he will go home to be with family over the break.
He oozes class when he has the ball .Great vision and ability by hand or foot.

I think he’s a midfielder that kicks goals rather than the small forward we need tbh. A midfielder that kicks goals is still a very useful player to have.

his build is actually bigger than people think as well. he built pretty simlar to serong but it probably and inch and a half taller.

No he's not lol, I've spoken to him. Still got some lifting to do.

I was at the Peel Subi game with my son early in the season and he happened to take an oobof free right in front of us while we were on the fence, so he was like 1.5 metres away: He looked pretty well built for someone who had only turned 19 a couple of month before. I don't think his final size is going to be that much bigger.

His arms are like twigs still. Was watching them warm up from the boundary on Sunday, he's wrists looked like they could snap in two compared to everyone. There is a lot of muscle to add.

i'm more talking about what he will be rather than currently.

He already has great tackling technique. When he adds muscle with his natural pace I think he'll be Switta like with his tackle pressure.

But in a good way, right?

 

[Paracleet]

Well he has managed 149 games of AFL football.

I watched a replay of the Peel GF on TV and was looking out for Simpson closely as I have been reading the comments about him. I think the kid can play. His pass across to a player if front of the goal was a ripper and his handball and run on was great. He just needs to mature and learn and hopefully he can go into the Freo midfield and add some speed and kick a dart to a leading Amiss. Just dreamin a bit there!

 

[Arkhitect]

This may be a bit of a left field comment, but if it doesn't work out for him at half-forward he would make an awesome rebounding defender with his pace and foot skills.

Wouldn't look out of place next to Clark and Walker provided he learnt how to defend properly.

He needs to fund more of the ball

His skills are elite

 

[anchor man]

Only 19 as well.Only one preseason.
He will be a beauty.
Didn't get guernsey 29 for no reason.

 

[mayne iac]

Dare I say it...zorko like?
Kind of..?

 

[Joao]

He's a lot more Zorko than he is Tucker in style.

 

[Taylor]

That's who I think of, just needs to build his body into a meatball.

Like several others was very impressed with Simpsons pace and disposal skills last Sunday.
May have ended with 4 or 5 for the game had team mate missed him on several occasions Q1, failing to execute the simplest kicks and hand passes when he was in easy range of goal.
Haven’t seen him live since preseason. In the intra club match sims back then he had a role of running from the back of the square, receiving a hand pass and then picking off a target inside or just outside the forward 50. Much the same as Freddy does on a good day.
At Peel Simpson seems to confined to starvation corner otherwise known as high half forward. Hence the low game stats especially in a team like Peel where some of the players have poor disposal skill and the personnel is subject to weekly changes.

 

[Arkhitect]

He wouldn't have much problem finding the ball off of half back!

 

[Docker4eva]

Well he has managed 149 games of AFL football.

Every single one of them somewhere between poor and mediocre.

Wow, we're just completely ignoring those two back to back games in 2020 when he polled Brownlow votes

 

[Van_Dyke]

Wow, we're just completely ignoring those two back to back games in 2020 when he polled Brownlow votes

never forget those first few weeks (which were really months) of 2020 which had at least some of us thinking he was going to really claim a midfield spot

 

[s_wd6]

It was ok that Neale was leaving because he was going to step up and fill the void lol.

Never him. Always Blakely. And everything we had seen of Blakely suggested that. Not our fault he went downhill faster than Will Brodie
