Player Watch #29: Will Phillips

[Ball Dont Lie]

In my opinion he is not the most talented mid we have on the list (LDU, TT, Sleevo have him covered ) but I certainly think he has the most professional mindset and for me that means he is more likely to become our best midfielder given his talent and skill is also right up there.

We get pick 2&3 and Will will be like another top 5 Pick , not a bad inclusion of players

Sheezel, Wardlaw, Phillips & Thomas is a nice little bit of class added to the 2023 side.

And a fit Cunners.

Hopefully, however i don't think he will be better than LDU, just doesn't have the skillset imo, I'll settle for second best though.

Agree with sentiment, but Will has Sleevo covered for talent.

Time warp feelings

Feels like he and Wardlaw could interchange forward and mid. Both the right size for the small pressure forward role.

Has he kicked the black death and won the Charlie yet?

I don’t see either player forward well
Both purely inside mids

Phillips played forward at times in his first year to decent effect.

Both are quick, agile, tough and put on a lot of pressure. Wardlaw will need to play more than just pure mid in his first year. Phillips will be like a new recruit and probably need to do the same.

Hmmmmm.

Not sure if it's overrating Phillips or underrating of others that is happening here.

If Sleevo is in our best 10 players we have serious issues. He has too many flaws to be anywhere near elite. He's a cherry on top type.

FWIW saw Will at the races. Didn’t have a drink (of the alcoholic variety) all day.

Haha no, he was in the general vicinity throughout the day.

Yeah you gotta think prior to LDU, cunners at 5 the highest pick on our current list Iirc. The list build in my view is coming along nicely with a lot of top 10 and first round talent and hopefully Clarko can get the best out of players and we can keep the group together. A fit Phillips, Thomas, cunners and Comben, the development of Powell, Goater, Perez, Scott, Curtis, Archer, with the addition of Logue, Tucker, Wardlaw and Sheezel in my mind could well surprise plenty this season and never rule out players coming from nowhere with upside under a new coach,,,,possibilities: Ford, Bonar, X, CJ, Curt Taylor

This guy is ready for a breakout year.

I agree I see WillPhill as an Ablett lite, same body type and build. Can't be knocked over and has a good goal sense so can throw him forward and be comfortable.

Add Clarkson to that mix

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Add Clarkson to that mix

And a functioning defence unreliant on playing Ziebell as a KPP, and I think we can win a few next year.
