New York Magpies

This week we want to highlight a legend who’s been at the club for 7 years and who is just one of those people who make it a better place.

Simi found her way to footy when she saw current women’s assistant coach Sam wearing a magpies top in her ballet class.

She has a tonne of non football hobbies including journaling, reading, walking, baking, and lately has taken up some boxing.

We almost had say goodbye to her this season but she managed to make her way back to NYC. Cheers to Simi!

The lads take on Nashville 1pm tomorrow at Elmington Park along with Columbus!

What do you get when you throw an awesome attitude together with Lacrosse skills, an American Football and Track and Field background, snowboard instructing experience and a bit of rock climbing for good measure? A ripping footy player.

He’s a quick learner and takes everything in his stride as you can see as he wheels around for the 1-2 in the third slide. We can’t wait to see the player you become Ethan!

This one is a man who has seen almost our entire history! He was named best player at nationals in the 1s in 2003 and in the 2s in 2015. He’s seen all our flags including being part of the first nationals champion team in 2002. He was also part of winning teams in 2010 and 2024. Because of his contributions over the years he managed to be named a life member twice!!!

Shoutout to Danny Goldman for bringing him down in the first place - what a career he’s had.

Flick through the slides to see his first goal vs Nashville in 2002!

This one is a man who has seen almost our entire history! Matty B has been part of premierships in 2002, 2010 all the way through to the 2s taking it in 2024. He is a club legend who was twice name best non Australian at nationals in 2003 in the 1s and 2015 in the 2s. Also named Magpie of the Year for his contributions in 2005 and 2011. He even managed to be named a life member twice!

Shoutout to Danny Goldman for bringing him down!

Watch his first goal in 2002 vs Nashville and a goal this past weekend up in our Finger Lakes game!

Proud of our lads representing the Pies with team USA! 🇺🇸

Some facts that we’ve learned about Dos:
- she started playing footy after she was selected for a professional women’s football team
- she rock climbs like a beast
- she is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and maybe Italian
- she was a chef and now in construction
- basically can do everything!!!!!!!

She’s also co-organised a full recruiting event for the club already after being with us only a handful of months!

An extremely deserving local legend!
