Know this was mentioned in the Zac Anderson thread, cant believe he hasn't got his own thread considering he's a homegrown Coastie, so.................
As Dibo mentioned in the ZA thread the reactions on the Syd Forum are hillarious. Here's a few of my fave's.
"My wife calls him "that f**kn bird face" due to his uncanny resemblance to a Seagull. "
"My understanding was that the only reason Simon left CCM is that he was asking for too much. If he's willing to play for the bare minimum here, why not up there?"
"Apparently Simon turned down a 30% higher 2 year deal at Perth to sign with us."
"Maybe he remembered training with Stu Musialik? It's not unreasonable to think he might've burnt bridges up there during negotiations, had a harsh reality check by finding out he's not worth what he thinks on the open market, then adjusted expectations accordingly."
"Being paid between $50-70k"
Oh & they're calling him the "Wizard from Woy Woy"
I was told he did play with Wyoming Tigers early on in the juniors but then mostly at East Gosford Rams.
Seems majority south of the Hawksbury aren't happy with signing 'a mongrel' like Matty Simon who's only skill is 'tackling goal-keepers' &'tap-ins'
Can understand him not wanting to go to Perth, considering supposed complications surrounding the birth of his first child, wanting to be closer to family on both sides who are on the C.Coast. Newy or Syd being preferred options.
If any of the rumored $$$'s are even close I'm still baffled as to why we didnt keep him. Even for that extra dimension to our game.
ESPECIALLY if Walmsley’s 'plan' doesn't pan out as he envisions it.
Hope he makes a mockery of the Sydney fans, as some of them have already pointed out "Matt Simon will make derbies with WSW one game not to miss"
Wishing you all the luck in the world.... Ohhhhhh Matty Simon
Matty, Matty, Matty, Matty - Siiiiiiimon !
