The Hack himself was full of it in his perth now article. Apparently Josh is "controversial" as in "CONTROVERSIAL Fremantle young gun Josh Simpson has suffered another setback in his bid to establish a regular spot in the AFL and will miss Saturday’s big clash against Sydney." Sorry how is he controversial?? Did he king hit someone or is he still struggling as a very young indigenous parent coming to the big smoke from Yalgoo?
He continues - "The gifted Simpson was dumped after indiscretions over his past two seasons while a developing Docker at East Fremantle." Wow, this from an "expert" footy journalist. I'm pretty sure Josh was drafted at the end of 2012 meaning past one season, not that facts are important when a story needs to be told.
Sure the guy may have a few issues trying to fit in, its defiantly not the first time its happened to promising kids in the AFL.
Controversial AFL Journalist Kim Hagdorn has been battling his own mediocrity for some time. The lazy scribe missed his opportunity to join the Herald Sun league after a series of fact fumbles, derailed what was a promising career after a round one feature he did on Nic Natanui. He had been expected to grab the opportunity but has been dropped back to the WA newspaper league in an effort to find form and continue his development.
