North Melbourne – Jy Simpkin Simpkin has all the ability in the world. An agile mover who can kick with both feet and hit the scoreboard, Simpkin has found a place in North’s side, but is yet to fully settle into a role. In 2019, he could end up being a 20-disposal per game player or kick 25 goals as a forward, but needs to find some consistency and avoid going missing in games.
