Out of Friday's game
Simpson (concussion) will not play Friday versus Melbourne.
ANALYSIS
Simpson was withdrawn from the lineup just hours before the preliminary finals match. Quinton Narkle entered the lineup as an emergency, but it's unclear if he'll be named in the 22 for the match. Should the Cats win Friday, Simpson should have at least a chance to be available for the Grand Final.

ANALYSIS
Simpson only played from July 9 to the end of the season in 2020 and his most notable performance came in his debut with 27 clearances against Brisbane. When he gets healthy, he'll be worth more attention if he can recapture his best work than what he did for much of the season.
