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

[DuckYeah]

pretty standard from you, tell us how hard you were when you played again please? My moneys on you've never kicked a ball in your life, bet you've touched plenty but?

Good one

 

[Masked Avenger]

I haven’t watched the replay of last weeks game, but I’m guessing it would be more likely that he made some blues when the eagles smashed us in centre clearance in the last quarter to win the game.

Yep. Similar type blues to that other bloke who:

* Inexplicably kicked the ball at right angles out on the full in the third quarter sapping our momentum

* Gave a primary school free kick to a dangerous Liam Ryan in the third quarter

* Crucially allowed an ageing forward to lead him to the ball multiple times in, you probably guessed it, the third quarter.

* Dropped a chest mark that a school crossing supervisor would have taken in the dying moments of the game.

Will's only crime is not being Captain.

 

[Disco Dew]

Is there a happy wank?

You would know there is if you weren't such a miserable campaigner.

 

[Gasometer]

Off topic from the popcorn of the last page but will you type Will with a capital W because when Will is written will it gets rather willing trying to read posts

 

[Waynesworld]

On a more serious note, post the 2020 season where we took Will, we finished 17th, Sydney 16th - compare the pair now with Sydney clear top while we are still languishing in 17th. Just sums up our drafting and club management as a whole.

So are you saying post 20-20 our drafting has been no good.

So if we'd taken Logan McDonald instead of Will Phillips, we'd be top of the ladder?

and also reflects the permanent freebies handed out to Sydney via its 'academy'

If you ignore all of our other issues.

Logan would’ve reached a new level of whipping boy status the likes of which we’ve never seen if we took him.

It is more the years that lead up to 2020 when it reached a crescendo of incompetence. Been better since.

Maybe they should have said pre in stead of post 20-16 and not even bothered with the comparison to the Swans.

 

[Sillygit]

but I admit I do enjoy shoving it up the arse of certain posters who should know better.

lol mate, you, tweedledee and tweedledumb fish here on the reg. you should know better.

Fair enough. I honestly don’t know, just guessing. Maybe he didn’t stick to structures? I stated in another thread that the review of the game wouldn’t be kind on the midfield. Clarko was on sen this week and after saying sometimes the players need a cuddle and sometimes they need a clip (can’t remember the exact words he used), after he said that he was asked which approach he used after the loss on the weekend he said that tough love was required.

I’m sure LMac was criticised for his mistakes too.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Turns out I was right. Chaddicko.

Who the f*ck crows about a ripping kid possibly being cut from the team. Very strange…

The same person who calls people disabled and alludes to people being gay when they have a difference of opinion. Real gutter behaviour

Username should've set off alarm bells regarding the types of opinions we'd be likely to hear

 

[swaeney]

Swaeney, duck yeah and chaddicko, where you at? Mocked me for two years, step right up...

wtf are you on about? You stated a month ago that he was never going to play for north again, and the following week he was added back into the side…. He got dropped for the Sydney game and we lost by 80 points and their midfield ran rampant, we’ll see how Treloar and co go up against LDU George and Powell, I’m thinking probably much as the Sydney game.

I’m starting to think you have underlying mental health issues if a player for your sports team ruffles your feathers so much, please go and get checked

The following players copped a bake after the game. May have been more than the below.

1.Corr
2.Comben
3.McDonald

Sure, it’s a mix; picking Warner in the 30s illustrates your point; Heeney, Blakey, Gulden and a few others illustrates mine

 

[The acurate one]

Had their fair share of misses which is camouflaged by their academy grants and incompetence of others.

2019 picks 5, 26,36, 39

5- gone
26- gone
36- gone
39 - Warner ( eyes rolled)

No I'm just saying it is reflective our the hole we still find ourselves in, whilst other teams rise to the top...

Think we all agree the academy in its form is completely over the top.

That’s fair. Chom was pretty reckless.

Swans also smart with the mature agers they bring in as well.
Both Grundy (cheap - thanks Pies and Dees Payroll) and Jordon leaving the Demons Cesspool have been solid contributors this year, along with Adam’s who has played his role. I think Hamling was the other who came in from Freo bit has not yet been required in for the forward line.

If you compare that with us bringing in Fisher and Stephens, and the Hail Marys of Pink and Biggy. That is like chalk and cheese.

Perhaps we do a trade for Kinnear Beetson. We give them Brady and Shields + Future R2
