Player Watch #29: Will Phillips - 20d/12 tackles in VFL vs Brisbane - does he come in vs Hawthorn?

[Hearts to hearts]

Should have traded with Hawthorn. Just handed Sydney two top 5 picks.
Phillips would have been there at pick 4/5.

We tried, Hawks didn't want to trade, we have a terrific kid joining the club so winning either way.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Does anyone have the clip of his reaction? I was on the wrong feed.

 

[Billy Not Really]

We're going to have a seriously good midfield in the coming years.

Ok, thought we would have been saying no.
Happy with the pick.
Welcome Will

I was surprisingly happy to see us bid on this kid. I know I'd knocked his kicking earlier but I watched his highlights on the draft coverage and he kicked multiple goals and some great weighted passes.

Cunnington with leg speed. Awesome.

 

[justroyal]

Jesus Christ.
Reading the write up's, how can we be disappointed? Twomeys piece makes him sound like Cunnington at 26.

 

[Shermanator]

Says a lot about how the club sees itself, this one. A genuine mistake if the club had any intentions of breaking that blue collar, ‘yeah they try hard but lack any star quality’, tag. Disappointed we didn’t roll the dice on Hollands. Will be a ******* superstar and has a few more dimensions than Phillips who has ok disposal and is a pure midfielder and that’s it. Might as well have traded our second to GCS...

Thanks for your solid input Nostradamus.. Quality melt.

Welcome Will love ya already

 

[ozzyoslo]

Hard as a cats head.......not disapointed.

 

[Wels Eicke]

I'm actually pleased we have a player with no injury doubts hanging over his head. Pleased is an understatement.....rapt! Looks a beauty to me.

Perkins a certainty at our next pick if available you'd think. Fingers crossed for that.

 

[DEVO]

Welcome to North Melbourne Will. You'll love Arden Street.

So in another 10 years we can watch DGB play on McDonald in another hawthorn vs sydney grandfinal.. * this club pisses me off sometimes! Pass on a genuine generational FF..

 

[Boosty]

Smart move by North. Will complement Simpkin & LDU. At least we know what we are getting.

Watch our midfield win three flags first.

 

[chubbspeterson]

fu** me! Welcome aboard kid, but I wanted Logan

I might be on my own but I don't see anything special with Logan. Not in the league of the King brothers.
He might turn out to be good but I see a tall lumbering sort of guy, not an agile forward.

 

[Themanbun]

Glad we played the ballsy move and took this kid. Have a feeling he will be a superstar.

 

[The Dingrel]

V happy with this,,,,,,both sides of the body. This is a no risk ready to go round 1 selection, which high draft picks should be.

 

[Wayne Campbell]

Let's be honest, "Cunnington with speed" is an insanely horny proposition

Everyone keeps saying Cunners, but I see a lot more Andrew Swallow

but with better disposal. I don't think he'll have the Cunners fend off or ability to stand up when being gang-tackled but he's certainly a lot more nimble.
