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

[Swallow_Wood]

Some of those contested little handballs were ****ing class.

 

[Chadwiko]

Genuinely good tonight.

 

[Mute Point]

Who knew he could run out 4 quarters?

 

[Topparoo]

A really solid game from Will

 

[jay317]

Looks like he might have a spot after all

 

[koshari]

Faded a little but the class is really beginning to show.

 

[BlueandWhiteElf]

His classy disposal is valuable. Keep playing him please Clarko

 

[Only Forwards]

Looks very good. Give him 2 years now imo.

2 with triggers for a third.

 

[Grogg]

Absolutely a quality user with the ball that gives us scoring opportunities. You get rid of these players, you lessen your list.

 

[Devington]

Really ****ing glad to see the return of those smart, medium length, inside 50 kicks

 

[shintemaster]

Positive seeing him run out a full game.

I still see a player there and I hope he can get there.

Good game son, once upon a time Alan Jeans called Gary Ayres a good driver in heavy traffic, Will does some of his best in close and tight, our 21st century version.

 

[Shinboner1]

must keep

 

[Grogg]

By craft I meant ability to follow him to different positions and carry the tag.

I asked you twice how he went against Oliver in the GDT. You shirked it. So again, how did he go?

 

[hellas_johnny]

Who did he tag?

 

[Chadwiko]

Who did he tag?

Clayton Oliver.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

So we paid pick 3 for a tagger. Who cares? We certainly can’t let this guy walk out cheap from our club this year.

Three comments in the GDT all questioning why are we tagging Oliver? Can’t handle that Phillips has had two good weeks. His posting history suggests there is something personal towards Phillips.

Oh he's far more that that. He'll get to a point where he will be able to tag AND express his own game, which is real class. Due to his fitness deficiencies to date he hasn't been able to play as a free wheeling mid and the tagging has given him a structure to work with and a task to focus on. And Will will do whatever is asked of him.

 

[gerry101101]

would be a huge lift for the team seeing this guy begin to stamp himself as a genuine first 18. small sample size of the new WP in a new role, but it just might work out for us

we can't let him walk out AT ALL

 

[koshari]

He aint a tagger, not saying he cant, just still finding his feet, if tagging takes him to the ball so be it, but his usage is to clean to be out of the team.

 

[amaz199]

Give him a contract. He's building.
