“Massive mistake taking Phillips”
It’s a bold statement. Definitive. No room for discussion.
It’s also incredibly early. One year in making a definitive statement on a kid that missed a year of footy, not the best pre season. And was actually good, earning praise from commentators for his good play. And averaging more possessions in his first year than Simpkin, LDU. Often only playing 60% game time.
Phillips could conceivably play 250 games of afl football as a zippy inside mid, with a highly effective short passing game. That’s what he looks like becoming, no? He’s also tough, professional, and passionate about his new home at Arden st.
Given Thilthorpe was gone and JUH unavailable to us, he was the obvious selection imo.
Phillips is gonna to be a seriously good player.
North made the right call there.
