Player Watch #29: Will Phillips - tags N.Daicos vs Collingwood - subbed off at 3/4 time??

[The Nostradamus]

What the * are half of you watching? He was immense in the first half and in our best 5 players.

When I saw this thread bumped I assumed it would be a post about how he should never be dropped again.

He started strong but faded

Just needs more games which he’ll get now

 

[The acurate one]

See absolutely no elite traits.

Fumbly, easily out-bodied, handballing is horrid, kicking is nondescript.

Just don’t see it.

He’s good enough for an AFL list which means he’s good for us.

He’s not nearly what you’d expect from a number 3 draft pick.
Which is the problem

 

[SammyRoo]

Didn’t feel he was that horrid today ?

Wasting your e-breath on some here mate, seriously.

 

[Chadwiko]

I feel like i'm taking crazy pills with some of the comments in here.

He was good today.

Yep.

He’s a decent, yet uninspiring player.

12-16 on a competing list.

 

[Flawed Genius]

No surprises that after we've been dreadful in clearances over the last little while, he comes back in and immediately makes us better at the coalface

Your our draft guy, not feeling overly confident right now.

He is slow, small, fumbly and average decision maker. If he is going to be a decent player he hs a long, long way to go.

 

[Nylex]

Was good, but needs to be better

 

[Ischenko]

Serial reactionaries melting about this kid. Just so I’m clear: after 27 games, if he’d been picked at 15 his game today would be fine, but because he was picked at 3 it’s atrocious? I’m viscerally embarrassed for anyone using that logic.

Bad take.

I'd have him in the top 3 on our list for quality forward 50 entries.

 

[Sillygit]

as usual, never worth reading almost anything that happens 24 hours after a loss, some of you need a nap and a juice box

The perfect post.

Backing Will in. Hes a gun for sure

Yep you would swear that they were opposition posters the way they carry on about our team and some of our players.

 

[Passmore]

I thought he was alright.

I remember that game, he had some beauties. Not sure he has done it consistently at all. Also Top 3 at our club isn't a high bar. TT and Sheezel about the only two worth mentioning.

 

[Midas]

Today was one of the first games he fumbled. Laid 11 tackles and learned plenty playing on Jack Steele

in the last. Funny our clearance work was back when he was in the middle. You people just want to find the negative in anything. He has played 2 years of footy in the last 4 and impacts our stoppages as much as LDU and has more impact than Simpkin. Imagine him in four years time, strong body, clean because he does the work, creating passages for Wardlaw, LDU, Sheezel and defensively accountable. Look forward and expect 25 per cent improvement in him. You all jizz about Ford and he’s the same age and impacts the game way less than this kid. And Ford has the benefit of full pre seasons. Get fair dinkum, ii’s really immature and quite pathetic to tee off on this kid. Get a life.

He has fumbled in almost every game.

 

[Grogg]

Was good first half and unsurprisingly blew up in the last half. Still have his trajectory on par with Cunners, with the added caveat of the destroyed first 2 years of injury issues. Just needs an uninterupted run at it and we can see what he can deliver.

 

[JGreezy]

I thought he was incredible around the stoppages. I said in the other thread but he needs to build elite cardio to dominate around the ground and make his opponent work, especially because he's not quick. But if he can build that then he will be a really great player.

 

[Elite Master]

He’s good enough for an AFL list which means he’s good for us.

This. I wouldn't be nearly as hard on him if we didn't spend a #3 draft pick. So wasteful.

This. There's a reason our centre clearances were shit tonnes better and LDU could strut his stuff.

 

[The acurate one]

The only melting and over reactions are from those sticking up for Wil.
Glad to be proven wrong, we need quality footballers to get us off the arse end of the ladder.

Today was a good day we were in the game for four quarters.
There is no angst. I’m not currently a fan, and last time I checked that’s ok to have that opinion.

We agree on a lot brother but I'm definitely in the Will Phill Defense Troupe
