Simple. You get to more contests than anyone else on the field. Just watch first 5-10 minutes of last quarter against Swans. He was critical.
Exactly. Game plans are built on endurance beasts. They are critical. Fans might not rate off ball running but you can bet coaches do. Hence Phillips sitting in 3rd for coaches votes for us and finishing 6th in the Copeland.
 
If he has endurance AND speed and they mean that legitimately, I'd be looking for him to kick Phillips out of the side post haste because he already has one thing on him.

I doubt this kid's disposal could be worse than Phillips'.

You’re not suggesting Phillips broke Broomhead’s leg by kicking it over the leading targets head are you?
 
Because I did not know about him at all.

Get it on before someone else does.

Info be put Shortly.

Waiting for Tweet
You do it your way.

Everyone else can please themselves.

There’s pages of pages on the player where people can add.

(There’s even, plenty of space for when that same player is inevitably bagged out.)

Your contribution is terrific.

A welcome to Collingwood by Trade Draft is a rights of passage.

You are Hearing that Sier wants out?
Cap space is going to be our big issue going forward - and guys like Sier will have big dollars thrown at them by rival clubs.
There will have to be some tough decisions made and I am sure they have already prioritised the players they want to keep.
Lets say the Bulldogs offer 400-500 k/season - Sier may have to be let go
 
Just not sure what kind of value you provide when your only genuine asset as a footballer is....endurance.

Not speed
Not elite disposal
Not strength
Not good hands
Not good decision making

Just....endurance

You can win a Brownlow with those exact attributes apparently....
 
Can we please stop with every fricken thread on this board being the same people arguing about Phillips.

It’s getting really boring and ruining this board. Take the argument to the Tom Phillips thread please.

This is a welcome to Collingwood thread for our newest player.
Amen.

I like your nobility.

Agreed.

They would be very, very much to our detriment...
 
I chose to be as pessimistic as Ed usually is. I don't necessarily believe that.
Fair enough lol. Fwiw, since everyone is trying to guess where the club see him playing, for mine he looks like someone the club would use as a Murray replacement. I mean let’s be real here. We have arguably the deepest midfield in the comp right now so he ain’t playing there if he’s averaging a touch over 20 disposals at state level. And whilst a couple of our small forwards aren’t firing, we’re still pretty stacked in that area too. But he looks to have serious wheels and great disposal efficiency. To me the selection screams line breaking HBF.
 
You really are a negative supporter, aren't you? Tom Phillips has some things to work on, but given his diligence in his career so far, I'll back him in. The guy is 23 and runs all day. Yeah he may not be as tough as nails and may have some skill deficiencies, but where is the credit for a guy who runs his guts out every week? It's hard to run when you feel like you have nothing left, this guy does it every week. It may not be the purest form of football toughness, but it's definitely tough to me.

I’m negative because there’s literally only 3 players on our whole list I don’t rate?

Good lord I imagine If didn’t rate like half of them. I was one of the ONLY posters on this board in 2017 who rated our list above Richmond’s. The premier.

So spare me.

we get a full preseason into him by picking him now instead of the draft
Gee, that’s clever.
I’d have never thought of that.

A JOHN enters the league.

There’s either none of them or only one or two.

Jack or Jonathan does not count. Only a pure John.
 
The one thing you can’t have enough of in today’s game is endurance, skill, speed and toughness. A footy brain would be good too :)

He’s not a replacement for Sier they are entirely different players. I think he’s a long term recruit otherwise it makes no sense. We have no immediate need.

Are you OK Ed? Most of your posts recently have been pretty damn negative. It’s a bit baffling considering we’re 8-2 with 7 on the trot...
 
The weight is an issue.. 72 kilos.. are we expecting him to play with that? He'll get clobbered.. unless he's played out in the open or some **** like that.
Going by the highlights that’s exactly where he should playing, on the outside.
