A number of people pushing for Phillips and fair enough. Looks exactly what we need

The question still for me is we offered Durdin Carroll and DBG train on spots and not Phillips I know we can still pick him but seems down the order?

I’ll be very interested how this plays out. Talk internally is that Durdin is still preference if he gets through. Phillips in VFL may be back up come mid season if he breaks down?

I’m honestly not sure our thinking

Look at it the other way...we offered Phillips a VFL contract - the others could all be cut entirely, he's the one we've decided we definitely want to stick around for a year.

as I said. I don't know the thinking

I wouldnt read anything into that. We don't need to offer them a vfl contract. They have train on spots. If they arent succesful they could still be signed, if thats what they even want.

I personally want Phillips but think that's a pretty skewed logic.

Plus we have a history of picking up rookies through our VFL pathway if they perform. This system would definitely be an attractive proposition for players looking for an opportunity to play AFL.

Agreed. The only reason Phillips has signed a VFL deal is to enable him to train with us as we exhausted the number of SSP trial spaces. All of the other trial players will have their pick of clubs in the lower leagues (including Carlton VFL) at the end of the try out period, should they be unsuccessful.

It's actually a really valid point. Gives us the chance to confirm or otherwise whether we offer him a contract or not.

I'm with a lot of others to sign Phillips - along with McMahon. Gives us key depth at both ends.

Pretty sure he did the same with a Box Hill VFL signing last year with the bonus of trialling with HFC. AFL gig got.

I've liked the signings across the VFL, AFLW, and AFLM teams. Seems a low fuss, let's get on with it, solid foundation, future orientated approach. Expect same with SSP picks. Bring on 2025.

We have put together a men’s team that looks exceptional in most areas of the park with great depth (again) in most areas.

There’s no team in this day and age that is 100% in all areas, it just can’t be so I’m really happy with the state of our team.

The part I really like is that we have only 6 players in their 30s and young 30s to be exact. So no matter what over the next 5 years, I don’t see us dropping into a dire state. We should be contending.
Doc: 31
Saad: 30
Haynes: 32
Newman: 31
McGovern: 30
Williams: 30

Back in the day players were just about done by the early 30's. Players playing well into their 30s now with Luke changes and better sport science etc.
