Matt Simon has just scored a hattrick for the Olyroos to take his tournament total to 5 goals. Its looking good for him to start banging them in for the Mariners as well, getting his confidence and match practice up. Hopefully he'll get a decent amount of time at the Olympics as well.

Well he had one last year against Adelaide but he got ripped off.
That one goal would have started a flurry of about 20+ goals.

i would start him ahead if macallister if he could do what he did against Ireland! Hat Trick Hero!

At least he scored

Let's wait for him to get one first - remember people said this about Nikola last year!

Scoring like this for the Olys will give Matt all the confidence in the world. He will score plenty in V4 - don't worry.

I wouldn't have him as our leading goal scorer this season though if he did end up with the top tally, I would be over the moon! It's great to see him in fine form at the moment and hopefully he can bring this form to the A-League.

BRING ON THE NEW SEASON ALREADY!!

1st goal was pretty lucky, but the second two were very well taken. Well in Matty, bring on V4

Yep, my thoughts exactly....2nd in particular was a great finish.

I think it's fair to say we're ALL hoping he can reproduce that sort of form in V4, particularly since we'll finally have wide players who can provide decent crosses.

Chances was not simon's problem last season. He just couldnt hit the backside of a barn with a banjo last year.

Matty has been called up into the Socceroo's squad for the Iraq WCQ's following Milligan's withdrawal due to illness.

Go Matty!

 

[Alicia]

he couldn't hit the side of a barn that he was standing inside for much of last season, but the yips are very clearly gone right now. he would've been scoring against some pretty decent players over there - good signs for him.
