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

[King Corey]

Is not as professional as everyone seems to believe. My take is he’s burnt out.

Elaborate or **** off.

 

[krakouers]

Wish young WiPhi well, hopefully this can be his opportunity to finally click into place or if it doesn’t, the young man has enough time to decide on his future career

 

[Dan]

Great news.

This has nothing to doing with being profressional. The end of the season could not have come sooner for him...Now he will have time to freshen up and hopefully attack next season head on. He was very quiet and reserved last time we spoke and not his usual self. So yeh he was probibly burnt out..

 

[Rooboy1708]

Well done will. Ball is in your court now so make every post a winner from here on in

 

[amaz199]

Onya Will.

Now or never.

The concern is that he was not any better at the start of the year, after an uninterrupted preseason. Wasn't in the round one team for the second year in a row. Hopefully what he heard at his exit meeting gets him moving.

Put him in the centre square as a tagger, release simpkin up forward.

Oh dear. If we valued his tagging he would've tagged all year, it was a lesson. We'll know come practice match and intra club time if it worked.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

I heard that he had glandular fever

Been here for 10+ mate, will be here long after Will's forgotten.

10 is cute. You carry on like a 10 year old sometimes too

Wow…what an achievement. 10+ year Big Footy vet VS being an AFL footballer. Glad you made it.

If I can guess your first name and favourite food- what do I win?

Been reliably informed that he has offers on the table from Richmond & Geelong, along with our 1 year deal. Not idea on length from either of those other clubs though. Surprised Geelong are in the market consider they have a similar type in George Stevens, Parfitt, Knevitt, Bowes, Atkins, Clark, Clohesy kicking around in the two's.

Sorry RF08

Good mail on this.

There was indeed longer term offers on the table but they were knocked back well over a week ago.

Kid wants to stay and fight

I love Will. We need players like him around the club

 

[ChairmanZia]

For all the BIG 'star' players we are thinking of, we do need a few honest battlers.

Phillips reminds me of a leigh adams

and back in the brad days, we had a plethora of them (adams, bastinac, gibson, dumont, swallow, cunnington, ziebell).

When he gets going it will unlock a new level in our midfield. If not phillip, then someone liek phillips.

would be great use to us now and he was in his absolute prime as of late 2020 but cancer took away his best years.

Best news I've heard. Take your last chance now son, you can do it. There's potential in there

 

[DuckYeah]

Whataya know? Phillips stays on the list. I hope he is putting in the work now, getting straight back into it. Come on Willba, you got this!
