If we were offered a 2nd rounder for him would you take it?

Man you can't be that small and slow and have a decent AFL career, if we draft another mid he's cooked, If George gets fit, Phillips is cooked, if Goater gets fit Phillips is cooked. McKercher is the perfect modern day running machine, he comes back Phillps is cooked.
oh and Phillips is cooked
Thanks for posting it though, it doesn't look flash at all.
Whether we keep Will Phill or not will have zero bearing on our future.
We are still miles off it. We are no better than last year if we are serious about analysing where we are at. This game is all about wins and losses.
Worrying about whether we keep Will Phil or not is like Anabel Chong worrying if she parked illegally on the day she broke the record.

Richmond? Bite your hand off.
Swans? Yeah, nah
Yep. 2nd is a pretty good opt out for someone who's behind a lot of guys at the moment. Not sure we're getting that, think teams will be trying to offer 3rd rounders and/or pick swaps.

I do feel for Phillip, would have been so different if Rehn had been around. I think Phillip is of similar pace to this Carlton fella.

Anything under 25, you’d have to consider it.
He's not at the level right now. Needs a massive pre-season to have any chance or others will go ahead of him.
Doesn't kick the ball with any level of confidence. No real zip or workrate to get from contest to contest.
I'm open to him staying on the list or using him to upgrade our picks in some fashion.
But at this point I wouldn't consider him best 22 with any certainty, he's more depth in the squad of 30 right now.

I'd like Phillips to come on as much as the next poster, but let's be frank here - Will misses his kick because he was too slow

I'm close to putting the fork in him. I think nearly all of us would have by now if he didn't happen to be a pick 3. Would there be this weird obsession over him if he was pick 40? Just about everyone and their dog on this board would probably by screaming at clarko for ever picking him.
Love the guy, but I just don't see it. He is a well below average footballer as it stands, and the upside is pretty bleak.

My recollection is that, coming up to his draft, he was fit enough to get to contest after contest and regularly win contested ball. If he can't get to that same level of fitness and ground coverage speed, given his other limitations, his future as an AFL player isn't promising.
You mean North Melbourne Footy (tm).

To his credit, he stuck a couple of massive tackles that his team mates could learn from.
LOL he burst through the centre and hit a Geelong player on the chest?
Not even to a 50/50. It was a perfectly weighted kick to the opposition.
If that's not too bad, what is?

Tagged Dangerfield for a bit? (Edited, my bad!)
Will: 20 disposals, 5 tackles, 4 i50
Danger: 12 disposals, and barely was sighted

Are you sure Will tagged Danger all game. I thought he was ok but didn’t actually think he was tagging anyone let alone Dangerfield
No he didn't. You are flat out making that up. Danger played forward, Will played midfield.
