Past #29: Will Phillips [Part II] - delisted end '26 - 50 NM games/8 NM goals - Farewell Sweet Prince

[FlyHigh18]

the 2020 draft needs to be studied

But also, * chose 2020 to have three top 10 draft picks

 

[koshari]

Maybe join the small forward cohort

i thought there may have been an outside chance to recycle him to another position but he cant even kick 45 meters. leaves few options as hoping Daniels leaves/moves spots and we play another bloke as a defensive distributer than cant kick 50m in his place would be his only option

Nooooooo

 

[amaz199]

2020 draft strikes again. Good luck Will

 

[SunnyBoner]

This one hurts. Bad.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

God damn. Really thought he’d be retained considering our lack of midfield depth.

Hope he gets an oppurtunity elsewhere.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

A minutes silence please

 

[tazaa]

all over

He was pretty much told on August 25th that he was done.
Slight chance that depending on what happened during trade period, that a lifeline was on offer.

But it never looked likely or amounted to anything.
Id have kept him on as cover for Wardlaw/Jy considering their headknocks history but it is what it is.


An absolute gentlemen and ripper bloke. But pick 3 hurts.

 

[winalotroos]

I feel bad for Will, he tried his best and was a good clubman

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Rebuild busts so far.

TT, JHF & Phillips.

Pick 7, Pick 1 and Pick 3.

We suck.

 

[Spud11]

You all knew it was coming

 

[Liam Boy]

Rebuild busts so far.

TT, JHF & Phillips.

Pick 7, Pick 1 and Pick 3.

We suck.

TT was an academy rort to begin with, we traded JHF for Wardlaw and Goad, and everyone else taken in 2020 was a bust anyway. Whatever.

[Wayne Campbell]

Thank you Will

 

[Chip Scab1]

Rebuild busts so far.

TT, JHF & Phillips.

Pick 7, Pick 1 and Pick 3.

JHFF? We did ok out of that, I'm not sure it's a bust, maybe a blip.

BGZ hanging by a thread
Wardlaw bashed up
McKercher off to Tassie

Ohhh this club.

Thank goodness for Paul Curtis.

 

[TruRoo]

Will, you tried. You reached heights many of us would dream of but it wasn’t to be.

There’s no shame in that. Sometimes the dream job isn’t as dreamy as we want.

Will Phillips = Dylan Smith of the 2020 draft

 

[trooroo4life]

Good bloke, physically and skilfully challenged. Wasn’t up to the level. Good luck.

Commiserations Chadwiko

 

[DuckYeah]

Good luck for the future Wilbah.. Feel like there is a quality AFL player in there.. Probably changes in rules making the game too fast hurts the footballers like yourselves.

[Ligma]

In loving memory

 

[LuvtheKangas]

A pity it didn't work out for him, or us.

I think there's a pretty good chance of him being picked up as a DFA.

 

[The Y Factor]

Rebuild busts so far.

TT, JHF & Phillips.

Pick 7, Pick 1 and Pick 3.

We suck.

2 ****whits and a champion bloke.

Thanks Will

Agree, never the club's fault
