Traded Tom Phillips [traded to Hawthorn for pick #65]

[Apex36]

Talk in the media recently that Phillips might consider a trade this year after being pushed out of his preferred wing position to a HFF by the emergence of Daicos.
Averaged 24 disposals over 2018/19 on a wing and can push forward and kick a goal too. Elite endurance, runs both ways, but suspect kicking. Geelong supposedly enquired last year but Tom declined.

What’s he worth?

I'm glad the NBA is back too

Edited. Happy now?

Would prefer him over our current wings.

That was my question! Probably a pick somewhere in the 20’s imo. If he ever managed to clean up his field kicking he’d be worth a first easy with his two way running capacity and ability to accumulate on a wing.

 

[Jake_09]

Certainly worth a look for the Hawks

He's not going to tidy up his kicking at this age. He is a third round pick at best with his limitations.

You’re probably one of the clowns who was saying that Witts was worth nothing in the year he was traded, weren’t you.

No I was 100% against trading Witts. Phillips is a butcher of the ball. Actually hinders our ball movement.

Late 2nd at best I would have thought. I can’t see anyone giving a pick in the 20s for him.

Funny how perspectives change. People were saying he was worth a first rounder when he was out of contract 12 months ago.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Worth similar to Langdon.

Future 2nd or mid to late 2nd.

Agree.

Well what makes you think it's a likely scenario that a 24 year old player could just magically clean up his kicking? I'd be shocked if he ever did by this stage.

He wont and no players do.

Yep no way would he fetch a first

Did you see how Dayne Swan kicked when he was 24...? Taylor Adams is also a current case in point.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Third rounder.

12 month can be a Long time in Footy

How would you rate his kicking after last nights game? The bloke is a liability.

I’ve said straight up that his kicking is suspect. If you want to ignore the two examples from Collingwood alone that I gave you of players improving their kicking with age and experience then that’s your issue.

Taylor Adams has moved to being a average kick now Swan was always a competent kick just lacked penetration. Phillips is a garbage kick.

 

[Go Woods]

Would prefer him over our current wings.

What's his worth?

Phillips & our 3rd for Gunstan.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Perfect fit for the Dees

 

[gawndog37]

Would certainly want him, i'd consider giving up our hawthorn 2nd round pick.
