We have chosen 18-year-old Josh Simpson with our first selection (17) in the 2012 NAB Draft.

Height: 183cm
Weight: 73kg
Club: East Fremantle

Josh moved over from Adelaide at the start of the year. He is a super talent.

Athletically he ticks all the boxes. He has superb speed and agility. His skills are elite and he is super clean by hand.
His composure and ability to sell candy to get by an opponent are great.

He has great vision and awareness of what's around him and gets himself out of situations most players can't.
He really impacts the game with his possessions as has that confidence to back himself to take the game on and break the lines.

From afl.com: Medium midfielder/forward who is exciting with his natural speed and agility. Dangerous player around goal and very capable overhead for a player of his size. Represented SA in 2011 AFL U18s before returning to his native WA in 2012 where he played 4 matches and averaged 14 disposals and 3 tackles per game.
