Brief bio: Phillips is an overager who has come back this season and really elevated his play significantly. He has played mostly through the midfield, both outside and inside, and also has the ability to push forward or back as required. Phillips has clean and reliable skills, consistently making good decisions with ball in hand and demonstrating good vision finding good targets up the ground. His numbers have been strong throughout the season and he has a good balance between finding the outside ball and winning the contested ball. Athletically he is above average, and what most stands out athletically with Phillips is his sidestep which he uses very well in game with ball in hand to give himself more time and space. Through the season and particularly through the finals Phillips showed a real knack for getting forward and hitting the scoreboard, and averaging more than a goal a game. His tackling ability is sound. He also in his one VFL appearance this year appeared in the bests for Port Melbourne which is another tick. Phillips overall is not overwhelmingly great in any one area but has an overall exceptionally well rounded game and the production to make a case for himself.

I reckon you're spot on 35! Not sure if you said that as a joke, but I'm thinking it's pretty close to the truth. Today's footy seems to be all about winning the ball out of the packs and then quick and precise ball movement, with mid-type players running all over the ground. Maybe KPP's aren't as essential as they once were??
very happy with this pick.
great skils and looks ready to go.
Will likely replace Marley in a back pocket (much better kick!) as Marley moves into the midfield more
