Junior clubs: Emerald (Vic)/Eastern U18
AFL clubs: Carlton
AFL debut: Round 11, 2003

Brownlow votes: 65
Platinum Sponsor: The Paper Cup Company

Moved into fourth on the all-time games played list in the Navy Blue after another 18 games in 2019. As reliable as ever across half back, Simpson averaged over 20 disposals a game for the 11th straight season. Preparing for year No.18 at Carlton, Simpson will once again be a key outlet for former teammate-turned-coach David Teague from a leadership perspective. The ‘heart and soul’ of the football club remains one of the most courageous and skilful players in the competition.

Draft history: 2002 NAB AFL Draft 4th round selection (Carlton) No.45 overall.
