Past #36: Phoenix Spicer - drafted w/ #42 in 2020 ND - delisted end '23 - 12 NM games / 2 NM goals

[ChoppyGun]

How good was it to see a North player actually capable of closing in on an opponent?

I try to remember Byron needed a year to break in. On the other hand Phoenix isn’t exactly competing with the 1996 premiership team for a spot.

Yep spot on.

Just seeing a player so quick and nimble to make opposition force a decision not toy with us.

Byron was horrible early mate (as you know). He improved pretty quick and a deadset gun ; )

Spicer needs minutes and sure he's light. It's hardly like we have many other decent options.

Yeh it's unfortunate for him the rest of our flankers are built like NRL front rowers.

 

[Tim Whiffler]

Ideal 23rd man. Buzzing around the forward line in the second half. Get in there Phoenix

Run rings around these Port flogs, kick 3 and one after the siren to steal the upset.

Not asking for much!

Bring him in for Turner - Forever.

34 goal loss coming right up

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Struggles to find it in the vfl. He’s nowhere near ready.

I’m under no illusions at where we are at atm.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Spicer isn't the answer. He's got a good year or two before he plays seniors, far too small, needs a lot of work.

Whoa.........slow down there Billy!

What's his coaching skills like?

But i want the Pheonix to rise noww...

 

[hellas_johnny]

Doesn't look like he can kick

Surely that was obvious to anyone who watched his highlights. By far the worst kicking I’ve ever seen in a draftees highlights package. Has a lot of great attributes but will need at least a couple of years before he’s ready.

Begs the question why recruit him. We have enough who can't kick shouldn't have to be teaching them.

They bring him in and then the numpties on here will year him to shreds when he doesn't become the next rioli after a couple of games

Hit targets in that clip.

Moves across the ground like Kosi Pickett, time will tell if he has the same tricks.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Just bring him in. I'm driving the Spicer train.

What do we have to lose?

Do we need to lose by 200 points before changes are made?

 

[shinboner magic]

Kicks alright for a guy that can’t kick

Get him in.

Not ready LOL

He’s already in our Top 10.

It’s a fair call ....... our fans think turner is what a forward pocket should be

Yeah but he tries and runs so hard defensively.

That's why he got 0 tackles and we barely touched the ball.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

giantroo wants Phoenix in the side ASAP.

I count three where he hits a target and two turnovers. I'll take those odds.
