Player Watch #29: Will Phillips [Part II] - Extends to End of 2025

Elite feels overly generous.

Elite by our standards?

Personal attacks once it's proven you know **** all about football? What a legend. Wouldn't even know how to put a picture on here, so reckon you've got me covered for being closer to that one. Never played dungeons and dragons and still actively playing sport. Never seen star trek either, thanks champ.

Actually no and I'm not interested in learning. I don't use computers for work, don't own one and don't really do social media. This is the only forum I've ever posted in, I'm a Kangas nut.

None of those things are relevant to knowing how to copy and paste.

I'm sure I could do it, I don't have the need to.

Be careful what you ask for. You push people to learn new skills, like posting memes, and you end up with krakouers. Who is Awesome, of course…

Oh dear, that’s 95% of my posts… they won’t find out surely…

I mean, hell yeah

What’s wrong with Star Trek! It has gone downhill but it was a pretty good show back in the 90s!

Sorry but l love the new Discovery series and have watched every Star Trek Series...The worst is by far Deep Space Nine but still watchable.

He played plenty of two's footy and was unaccountable. Was also not racking up good numbers himself and not resting anywhere other than the bench. Hopefully he's improved his fitness enough to play inside mid because it's nowhere near the level to play as a defensive one.

I agree with you on this one. Taggers need enough size, enough pace and a huge tank. That's not Will and not what we should be aiming for him to be. He needs to develop his fitness enough so he can get to contests, be strong over the ball and use his smarts and disposal. Yes, he can be the defensive mid at stoppages, depending on who else is in there, but we should be using his strengths.

His issue has been, and continues to be, that he is far behind multiple players in his preferred position. LDU, Wardlaw, Sheezel far more

The trialling of him into a tagger is a clear admission that he won’t be overtaking any of the others any time soon.

And now with Urquhart coming to the club, with the skill set that a tagger requires, puts him in serious trouble.

I’d be interested in what St Kilda would be offering in a trade.

A lot of angst in this room.

From what I can see Will has come back to pre-season in the best nick of his career and under no illusions as to where he stands in the pecking order (hence one year extension).

Had a lot of almost games last year. Clearly loves the club, possesses elite disposal and footy IQ. If he gets his fitness levels up over the summer then I’m extremely bullish for Mr Phillips.
Not a lot to be gained with any negativity in late November before the Christmas break.

Post of the week.

Didn't like Discovery at all, but Strange New Worlds? Genuinely good!

Also, don't sleep on 'The Orville'. Takes a few episodes to find its footing but gets really really good, especially in the 2nd and 3rd seasons!

Might have to try 'The Orville' again for more than the 1st few episodes this time...Strange New Worlds was good also..

Definitely agree on the Orville, I like it better than Star Trek. I’ll have to check out strange new worlds

That 3rd season was absolutely excellent.

Still holding out slim hope we get a season 4.

Lower Decks is my favourite of the new batch. Don't really care for any of the others.

 

[shintemaster]

I had zero interest in Lower Decks (cartoon!) and Strange New Worlds (felt like the same old ground). I loved both when I bothered to try them.

And how good was the crossover!

 

[Liam Boy]

Strange New Worlds washes over me like it's nothing, it's not bad television but none of it comes anywhere near even a mid episode of Deep Space 9

 

[speedy]

Not a huge fan of Star Trek (the latest films are great though), the Orville is awesome…. the expanse leave all si-fi series in its wake plume.

 

[Topparoo]

The Next Generation is the best series in my opinion. I enjoyed Picard on Prime especially the final season.
