Exactly the sort of midfielder we are missing. Gets a bit of the ball and uses it well. Oliver mainly handballs, Viney and Tracc are unreliable kicks. Rivers is a good long kick but not accurate passing to someone. Salem is the only accurate kick that sometimes goes through the midfield.

Norf are not [censored] because of their midfield - it's stacked. They only have one good player in the backline and two in the forward line. So his pay is disproportionate to the needs of the club. He'd be the number 2 midfielder at Adelaide. If I'm Norf, pay for his Uber fair to the airport and swap him for Fogarty.

Maybe he’ll get caught in the big net St Kilda are currently trawling the AFL landscape with.

are u describing north or us?!?! eerily similar the way we're building the next generation midfield out again and praying that we can find talls somewhere down the track, good plan on paper but we've spent 5 years showing the competition how hard it is to execute when u arent geelong/pies/hawks/swans/lions

Simpkin can’t kick, but what he does bring is run which we need and could swap between mid and forward.

He’d replace Tracc and give us more run with less ball winning and different forms of bad kicking. Tracc more hot and cold, Simpkin more meh.

But we can’t be giving up a good draft pick or stuffing our salary cap for Simpkin.

If we are seriously talking to his management, I'm just about done, we all complain about our current lack of foot skills, this bloke doesn't help in anyway, shape or form. We need a midfield full of the young blokes we have, no point send Tracc anywhere if we are going to recruit Simpkin. Just no. Stay away. Can't crack Norths midfield, why would he gets a game there in ours.

I actually don’t mind Simpkin as a player and he could definitely play a role for us

But no way would you want to give up a decent pick and that much coin for him
