Simpson retiring - 1 week too early!

Featured Replies

Adam Simpson has announced he will play his last game for North Melbourne this Friday night against Carlton. So Kangas may play above themselves for his last game.

Should have lasted another week so they would be up against Dees in round 19. That is increasing as a "danger" game for MFC! :angry:

 

Agree and Simpson is still a decent player so one less good North player for us to play against.

 

first of all congrates adam simpson on a great career, was a very good player. Very underated!!!

Secondly i think north are a very competitive team with good teams so should easily account for us. Helps having boomer back!

Would love them to smash the blues this week!!!

Yes. Well done Adam Simpson on a great career. You have been a great player and club man and the Kangaroos will miss you!


That surprises me. Simpson's been having a great year.

Really? I doubt Adam Simpson would agree

After Simpson was at the centre of the chook video fiasco, he had actually offered to Laidley that he resign/ retire immediately. Simpson wnet through personal hell where his good character was questioned and punished. Its been a nightmare that only hastened the inevitable notwithstanding the football he played recently.

Nevertheless, over the course of his career he has been a fine leader and a tremendous underrated footballer for the Club.

34 possessions last week.

 
I reckon he's dead set scared of facing up to us.

And there you have it...

One of the better, and more graceful retirements in recent memory. SHame he won't be playing next week. If we get up, we might just have him to blame.


I actually think this is a similar situation to Mark Taylor declaring rather then breaking Bradman's Australiam highest score record. He realised that Bradman had been a far superior player but he (Taylor) had always been a better team man - sometimes better to be true to yourself and being remembered for what you were great at - selfless - then chasing personal glory and individual records.

I'd hardly say playing out the season is chasing personal glory and individual records. He is a dual Premiership player, b&f winner and former captain. Must be tough too he has only missed 7 games through his career. Wouldn't be an unworthy record holder by any means.

Bradman's record has been broken now anyway.

Has had a fantastic career - I'd rather we don't look at it in selfish terms.

Quality player.

Off-field, maybe, but I was talking on-field. He's been leading from the front on the field, and playing some decent football as well.


Never rated Boris.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
