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

[Mav]

I think it is sorta funny.

It is a Tuesday in the middle of December, anyone who is posting here now is a diehard fan, and likely has more in common with anyone they argue with on here than they care to admit.

I'll take it a step further, perception on here is flawed, not entirely but it is flawed. IMO if you put two posters who have beef on here in a room and got them to speak face to face, the animosity would not really be there. Because while there may be angst and vitriol here, most people know how to act around other people IRL and the vast majority of sh*t spoken on here is simply not worth having real life arguments over.

Yeah, I had some random guy come up to me at the GF and say…I hear you don’t like Lindsay Thomas.
We ended up having a good chat and he seems like a really good fella. Hopefully he comes to Radelaide so we can have a beer.

Only have issues with the righteous posters, and we've a couple of them.
Actually I was going to start a POTY awards thread. With awards for different categories. Good enough for the Oscars

Casting the first stone ( Righteous posters award)
Cyclopes - most one-eyed
Steve Wonder - blind
Beyonce - biggest smartarse
Harold Holt- gone missing
Etc

I've got a fair idea who the first two are…

2024 will be Will's year. At this point in a player's career they might change numbers to shed the ignominy of their rookie years. Since Will can't reasonably change from 29 perhaps he can change his name. Bill Phillips. Big Bad Bill Phillips.

"Ill Will".

Hmm, actually, that one might not work.

Some who'd win the cyclops award would also win the Stevie Wonder/SHane MacGowan (also blind) award n some ironic twist of fate.

Good Will to all!

Done nothing to prove anything. Now dont say bnf, a first year player just won it. He was the leader we needed at the time, and kudos to him, even thats running its course. Coaches have said, you’re not playing mid, time to add a string to your bow. I love Jyza but im realistic.

People potting Will and not potting Jy is blindness.

Is a heart and soul player and sets the tone in training. Been our fittest players for a couple of years now. Is also player out of position regularly when the club needs him. He's not a pure inside mid. Moving through the forward half more will show what he's capable of. Bloke doesn't go from captain and bnf to turfed like that.

That's nuts. Wonder how they figured out you don't like Lindsay Thomas? Just a lucky guess? I mean, you've mentioned it once or twice, sure, but not that many times...

The "I Hate Lindsay Thomas - Ask Me How" t-shirt was a bit of a giveaway too.

OMG.

I think I need a malicious rap styled T-Shirt with LT on it printed up. That'd be sick.

I wonder more so how they figured out he was Mav.

Yeah and Mav stands at 4 Foot Tall so if you look low enough he is easy to find. :stern look

He's not a pure inside mid. Moving through the forward half more will show what he's capable of. Bloke doesn't go from captain and bnf to turfed like that.

The reason he started playing so heavily as an inside mid in the first place was because we'd badly neglected the position at the draft for years and had basically no one decent to play there except Cunnington. He'll probably be glad to go back to wing/hf, which if I recall was what he was drafted as

stop it, you're giving me a hard on.

Well that explains why I bumped into Twinkletoes with tears in his eyes.

It doesn't explain why you bumped into Toes at all. I'd guess it was because you didn't realise the foot traffic was a two way street and now you've taken the whole situation out of context.

Anyway, I like LT, he's doing good things at Glenelg in the womens program. But he's still a shit footballer.

Will Phillip will be mintoxicating.

Well it explains his tears and now I'm crying.

And Flawed Genius is laughing.

at least that makes a change from that PGWH crying.

 

[speedy]

My question with Will is, does he lack a tank because his last 3-4 years of footy have been so interrupted, or did we draft yet another inside mid with no tank? Because IMO, the belief that any footballer can build their running to an elite(ish) level is a fallacy.
