Player Watch #29: Will Phillips [Part II]

[AnEmptyChair]

Straight to Rowell this week

Anderson imo. He's much more damaging and much more pivotal to their success. He's also carved us up the last few times weve played them

 

[pupstar]

Or Flanders.

Rowell will try to quell LDUs' influence

Good call i think the same.

Anderson.

Much more damaging of the two. Rowell will most likely be sent to LDU to stifle him on the inside.

KANGAS TAGGER DETERMINED TO STAY​

NORTH Melbourne youngster Will Phillips has declared he sees his future at North Melbourne, having successfully broken back into the club's plans over an impressive last month.

Phillips has reinvented himself as a tagger recently and has completed successful jobs on Nick Daicos (14 disposals in three quarters), Clayton Oliver (14 disposals) and Adam Treloar (22 disposals) in the past three weeks.

It's led to a series of improved Kangaroos performances throughout that stretch, with Phillips complementing a midfield group spearheaded by Luke Davies-Uniacke, George Wardlaw, Tom Powell and Harry Sheezel.

Coming towards the end of his contract at Arden Street, Phillips' future had remained clouded throughout an extended VFL stint earlier in the campaign. However, the former No.3 pick is determined to now lock down a new deal at North Melbourne.

"I'll leave that up to my manager to discuss," Phillips told AFL.com.au last week.

"I love playing at North Melbourne, I love my teammates, I love this club. The spirit we've shown (over the past few matches) just proves to me, and I think to the fans as well, where we're heading. I want to be part of that.

"But, in terms of my contract, I'll leave that to my manager." – Riley Beveridge

Their prime movers. All need close attention but Rowell for mine.

I’d send Phillips to Anderson and have Simpkin play on Rowell.

Then LDU on Miller and it should be a nil all draw

 

[Ashley B]

I would tag Miller didn’t do much when tagged by the Saints also the most skilled

 

[The Law]

Agree on Anderson. Rowell definitely goes to LDU at the stoppages. LDU will torch him on the spread.

Thread is noticeably less junky the last few weeks. Love to see it.

Been flat out at your mum's house, while you're playing dungeons and dragons and fixating on star trek chats. Did half a job on daicos, nullified a bloke having his worst season since his debut and conceded 22 and 2 whilst compiling a massive 13 disposals against treloar, not their best mid. Wardlaw to come back, Colby will move in eventually, Duursma, Powell, sheezel and a top 3 pick this year, likely to be a mid, on top of LDU and Simpkin! You're kidding me if you think this bloke has a future at this club.

God bless. You nerdy campaigners are okay in my book.

 

[The acurate one]

Says he had 12 disposals, seemed to be more than that, a couple of fumbles but gee he is improving.

7 tackles , well played Will.

Fumbling is horrific.

Watch the replay.

Fumbling lead to being caught HTB/ball spilling out.

How many fumbles did he have for the game compared to others.
