Player Watch #18 Jevan Phillipou - Welcome to Sydney - Pick 35

[robbieando]

The well performed junior decathlete took some of those skills into the Combine, where he finished in the top 10 for agility (8.089 seconds) and the running vertical jump, while also completing the 20-metre sprint in 2.96 seconds. The midfielder/forward can jump for his grabs and takes the ball in the air, while also showing his bursts of speed around the ground. The younger brother of St Kilda's Mattaes.

Looks like we're going for difference-makers. Good luck Jevan.

 

[Ed_Gein]

I thought he was a top 10 prospect based on an article I read about him the other day.

Did he slide to us? Does feel a little bit like he'll be one of those 2nd rounders that goes on to have a very good career for us... Hopefully

“I’m a very exciting player, sometimes you don’t know what I’m going to do. I could pull out a big pack mark, break out the front of a stoppage, go for a big run on the wing or kick a big goal from the pocket. I can pull that stuff out and I’ve got those tricks,” he said.

Have we just drafted a 21st century Warwick Capper?

 

[Punts]

Very confident

Like it

Rankine

 

[Punt Road Feral]

This could be the one that will bite us on the ass overlooking him at 31.

Should do really well at the Swans

 

[Big Blood]

What a coincidence. From same SANFL club as the CEO. Pretty sure his grandfather Peter Phillipou played with Pav's dad at West Torrens back in the day.

Im way more excited with Jevan than Lachan

Heeney is one player he looks to emulate.

South Australian prospects name their idols

Jeremy Cameron was a popular answer as we posed the question to the SANFL Under 18 Academy: which AFL player do you mould your game on?

Not a bad write up from his peers

AFL Draft: Brother of Saints gun "someone that you definitely want" despite injury layoff

"You just know what you're going to get out of him at the end of the day, and that's just unconditional effort."

[RilesMacca]

His pros and cons look very similar to Chad, can't go wrong with a dynamic mid/fwd keen to watch him play

 

[MightyBloods]

Have we just drafted a 21st century Warwick Capper?

or a 20th century Laurie Nash!

Have we just drafted a 21st century Warwick Capper?

Nah, that's every 18 year-old these days.

I'm not against it. We've been more than conservative in our past recruiting efforts I feel.

 

[Neverwas]

In addition to his elite athleticism he seems to be dual sided

 

[troyjones2525]

Geez in this clip he looks like he moves in traffic like [PLAYERCARD]Andrew McLeod[/PLAYERCARD] / Rankine type! Certainly not saying he'll be the player that they were /are, but hey a fella can dream! Haha

 

[WillHayward]

Hes gonna be something!

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Fun fact: Was supposed to be called Evan, but for a typo at the office of births, deaths & marriages*.

* I just made that up. But I’m sure this is the first Jevan to ever play AFL.

Brilliant. Love it .

 

[Nuggetz]

something about this kid...

 

[RilesMacca]

Yeah that's what strikes me the most watching his highlights, being good on both feet is one of the more underrated traits a player can have imo
