Toast Welcome to St.Kilda - MATTAES PHILLIPOU!!

[King_Steele]

Welcome to the best club in the land Mattaes!

Looks very classy in highlights. Love the height/left foot etc

️️

One of my favourites already and he's only been here 5 minutes



Can't wait to watch him and Windhager will this side across the line time and time again in a few years

 

[bergholt]

Is this guy a flight risk? Surely not?

Is this guy a flight risk? Surely not?

Need to lock him and Nasiah before the mid season break.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

THANK **** WE GOT HIM!!! Him and Owens will be two explosive marking mid forwards that carry our midfield

 

[gringo2011]

Sounds like a mate of D'Aloia, perhaps we could do the double up.

 

[Veer Right]

I get a Patrick Dangerfield vibe seeing him speak.

I like that we took a tall midfielder. I doubly like that he has the weight to with that height to have an immediate AFL impact.

[The Boar]

Going to be a jet, can't believe he got to us! So much scope for growth and already has a cannon for a leg!!

Absolute animal in those colours

Ranked #1 for June and July according to:

With his performances on the board, mix of attributes, influence on games across multiple positions and rapid rate of improvement, Phillipou possesses arguably the highest ceiling in this draft and narrowly holds the top spot. Not viewed on club draft boards as a consensus top-5 selection at this stage, Phillipou at No. 1 is a selection unique to this draft board.

AFL Draft Power Rankings: Phillipou strengthens claim for No. 1 pick

ESPN.com.au's draft expert Chris Doerre has revealed his AFL Draft Power Rankings for the month of July with Mattaes Phillipou once again sitting on top of the pile.

I love the fact that I read somewhere that he genuinely believes he is the best player in the draft. Love that self belief

How do u feel about self belief of posters?
Asking for a friend .

 

[Mowman]

In the interview with Twomey & friends I'm pretty sure he said he hopes that some of his training ethic can rub off on his teammates.

We finally found our alpha boys!

Lets hope so

 

[Sab22]

I get De Goey vibes from him (Play style). Tall, powerful player. Long as he stays injury free, he will be great for us.

Sh*t, he smashed the combine!

Woodville-West Torrens’ Mattaes Phillipou has underlined his exciting athleticism with the release of the top South Australian results from the 2022 NAB AFL Draft Combine.

Tipped to be the first Croweater selected in this year’s AFL National Draft, Phillipou was the only SA player to break the three-second barrier in the 20m sprint with a time of 2.993 while also finishing in the top five in four of the five test categories.

The long-kicking left-footer registered the highest leap of 83cm in the Running Vertical Jump with his right hand while placing second with 87cm behind South’s Will Verrall with his left hand.

Phillipou, the son of former Eagles and Port Adelaide forward Sam Phillipou, also displayed his endurance by finishing third among SANFL prospects for the 2km time trial with a time of 6:25.

Brownlow medalist in the making

Everything I have watched he seems to be self confident not cocky. I love that he looks down the camera or into eyes and talks with real comfort in himself. Taking kids with neurotic tendencies and self esteem issues keeps you out of the papers for off field incidents but takes you out of them for your on field performances too.


This guy has the right temperament to be a star. Just need the game to match the attitude now.

He is in good hands with Lyon - Hayes & Harvey

I just realised, that's SA only. But still.

 

[King_Steele]

Hoping he brings Buckley type fig jam energy with a hint of the man himself Roo triggering bro

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Wonder if we could ruck him.

 

[Minga]

Get the feeling the Pou and Higgo will get on like a house on fire.

Not to mention we have a healthy gaggle of SA players now, surely helps in reducing flight risk.

Unreal selection, looks like a star in the RWB.

 

[George]

Looks sexy in 10 tbh but stick him in 32 pls

Already friends with NWM which should help.

I'd house him with Hayes to start with too. The guy is a WWT legend. That connection should help him settle in.
