such a good indicator for North Adelaide and a bad indicator for Norwood
Davis (North's #3 key back behind McIntyre and White) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Young (Norwood's #1)
sorry, couldn't resist pumping up North

He looks so composed under pressure and always hits his targets by foot which I cant say about our other defenders.

Didn't North's coach call Davis the best tall defender in the league last year?
Phil has looked great but if he is meant to be a forward long term I'd like to see him take a few really strong one grab marks, he had a couple of chances in this game but dropped them.
Played very well though.
great composure and disposal
gives us potential options at both ends

Yeah he has composure, skill and smarts. Well done to him.
Dude.. there is a thing called "respect". They may be out of form (although Goodwin is being tagged out of it) but don't diss our hero's.
I didn't get to see him on TV last week since I was at the ground. He really looked very good, barely put a foot wrong. Love his kick, I've always been impressed with that.
With Davis I get the feeling that finding the right match-up for him will be the key. As long as he's not on a player that can exploit his lack of pace, he should be able to beat most other second or third-option forwards.

I love Phil.
Just does the right thing. Can't wait until he bulks up.
He spreads for others, kicks to the right places, doesn't handball to those under more pressure.
That Free against for the spoil was bullshit.
Want a geez at him as a forward but that won't happen until bock stevens or both are back.
+1 for Philthy, dirty, love.

To be honest I reckon he has actually started bulking up a bit recently. He already looks a fair bit bigger than he did when I was watching him at training a few months ago.
The problem at the moment is that he's so bloody lean in the midsection, must have a horrible centre of gravity

Id leave him back for now. Good place for him to learn, especially how we're travelling. If they cant/dont want to combine tip with tex cant see how a raw player would fit in up there. He may end up there eventually.
BAck not necersarily a fun place to be atm. When Bock and Stevens comes back, he goes forward and we adjust the forward structure. He must play the remaining games as long as his form stays true.
But Stevens may go forward and he can play 3rd tall. Though there's a lot of qick 3rd tall forwards out there.

As much as I'd be delighted if he turns out to be a strong tall target up forward for us, I do like what he offers to us down back. He seems to have several of the talents required - reads the ball in flight well, has a dynamite spoil on him, is not afraid to make body contact and seems good at minding a player. Again, he needs to have the right match-up, but to my eyes he looks like a natural defender. He's good on the rebound too, did he even mess up one kick today? I don't recall it if he did.
It would be great if he could turn into a tall forward, but I'd be more than happy to see him stay down back a while longer as well.

he looks good, performed as well as Otten did last year.
but before we nosh off on Rendell, lets see him bulk up and hold down a key post.
very encouraging performance though.

looking all class! did i see him beat aker on the ground in a one on one?
That was probably the individual highlight of the night for us
From what I saw tonight (and I must admit I haven't seen a lot of him at SANFL level...) he's really adept at using his body to make life difficult for his opponent at ground level. Without actually infringing his opponent (that's right umpire) he manages to prevent their access to the ball, all while keeping his own centre of gravity constant and edging towards the ball. Brilliant signs for a big dude Hopefully will become a real feature of his game once he puts on some more weight, which to my eyes he is finally starting to do.
Davis was close to our best tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a Rising Star nom.
His use of the ball was a joy to watch after watching some of the ball butcherers in our side.
Calm, collected and takes the right option, which makes him pretty rare in our side at the moment.
His handballs were generally long and to advantage.
A genuine player of the future -he must stay in the side and be allowed to establish himself as a regular in the best 22.

could not agree more.
I know I tried, seriously I meditated and positively visualised, but found I actually was unable to agree any more than I already do.
my agree is maxed out
First time I've had the pleasure to see "Big Phill" in action and I have to say Rendell is a genius.
He seems very smart and doesn't panic under pressure, has poise and a very reliable kick, will make a perfect defender.
But when he starts to run, it looks a little comical until his bum swagger gets into rythm.
