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

[HELLSBELLS]

No arguments just clarifying it appeared to be a pitch of inside info rather than personal opinion.

Yeh understand. Just making the point i can call anything inside info too. Spill the beans or it means nothing imo.

 

[King Corey]

Thanks scoobs.

Now I'm intrigued.

This suggest some overrule between the group of Luff, Rawlings and Finnegan.

Extra interesting considering Will said we didn't speak to him (or barely spoke to him).

 

[DrZaius]

You'd hope so, my 14yo kid does 150.

[hilly]

Quite possible but I think scoobs is getting at some inside info on this one.

Have heard that we hope all our picks come good but if they don't then there may be some consideration as to whether another possible choice may have been taken. Maybe. You heard it here first.

If your going to do a drive by you may as well identify the target.

Yeah I agree. This backgrounding by inner sanctum w***ers shows a lack of character. Sounds like someone wants to plant an early excuse if the pick turns out to be a bust. No doubt everyone will claim credit if WiPhi wins consecutive Brownlows.

 

[Firestarter]

It's just a little irritating that people are throwing shade when he hasn't done anything. And no, I don't mean done anything, maybe chill your bills and freeze your knees before pissing on his prematurely dug grave.

Scoobs didn't even say Phillips was a dud pick, simply that the logic used to select him might've differed from what would be assumed.

Cue the hysterics and misinterpretations.

Was he wrong?

Some folk on here trying to make it complicated when its not.

Thank you, someone who is logical and not over thinking or putting words in peoples mouth. Its very simple as you said. Kid can be an A star player and win multiple awards, that will be great as no one is denying he can play.

might've ? Well Did it Differ ? If so, How and by who ?

If you don't want Hysterics and misinterpretations then spill your guts and actually tell us what happened. You wont get arrested or shot. You're not that important and neither is the information so you don't have to guard it with your life and revealing it wont cost you said life.

If you don't your post means nothing so don't get all funny when people pick it apart.

Or maybe scoobs has a solid history of reliable information so his word is taken as at least informed if not 100% accurate (because there's always some he said / she said).

He made the insinuation and it wasn't hard to pick out what he was trying to say. Were you expecting him to post a draft night transcript?

No. Not a full transcript. Just who Overruled who and that’s that. Don’t care how reliable he usually is. If you’re not going to spill it no point saying it.

Fair enough mate.

 

[shinboner magic]

Nothing to worry about.

Just dust the trophy cabinet - this guy will win us stuff

I wouldn’t worry about dusting it. Hidden behind a coffee cart no one will see it anyway.

he has plenty of time but lets hope the club has made the right call on picking him at 3. It wont be on (not) the recruiters if it doesn't.

I think perhaps if it had been phrased like this there would be less angst, as it appears to be implying there may be some cause for concern that the club overruled the recruiting team based on something other than who we thought was the best player available.

I was at Arden St today, hangi g out for a coffee only to discover that the coffee cart has disappeared- was it delisted also?

Could just mean our recruiters had Hollands ranked above on talent but the club had concerns re: the knee.

 

[Heaps of fun]

he very well maybe a gun for us, no one is questioning his ability to play. Will he be better then a few others that were selected after him? Time will obviously tell..

Staggered by this insight.

 

[Themanbun]

Staggered by this insight.

If it's based on something said by people at the club then I'm disgusted that they are peddling this **** and ought to be out of a job. That's nothing against Scoobs, he posts what he hears.

But imagine if at any other workplace, within a few months of an 18 year old kid starting, there was one section of management running around telling people that they didn't want him, they wanted someone else and it's not their fault if he turns out to be pretty ordinary? Way to make him feel welcome.

It's just not on.

they would have had open conversations about who to pick. The fact there were different opinions is neither shocking nor unexpected. To think the decision won’t be questioned or discussed after the fact is just unrealistic. And despite those opinions I’m sure no one is telling Will he is unwanted.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Thanks scoobs.

Now I'm intrigued.

This suggest some overrule between the group of Luff, Rawlings and Finnegan.

Roo recruit turning heads

Barely a week into his time at North Melbourne, Will Phillips is already turning heads.

If you think the fact that people had different opinions is what I've taken issue with then I suggest you ac acquire some perspective.
