Well done Tom, sometimes we focus on the bad and forget the good things he does. He made 2 terrible decisions what player doesn't? In one of those he redeemed himself.
The kid generally has good skills, very good overhead. I like him, not quick but reads the play well.
Unfortunately we can't all be Pendles, what a game, what a leader.

Congrats Tommy.
Like Maynard, he makes some mistakes but he is still very young.
Give him another 40 games and 2 years experience and he will be everything we hope he can be.
So far he has had the ability to burn it up on the wing for 25 minutes with 9-10 touches but then can go missing for the next 25. Experience will weed this out hopefully. |

Congratulations to Tom Phillips. Well done.
I thought he was in our worst few in the first quarter and a half on Saturday night. To his credit he turned it around & as I noted earlier played a lot better. Keep the learning curve in the right direction.

Yep that's correct, 2k not a 100m or 200m, 2km. So he has great endurance.

Correct weight. Phillips is not pacy but has extraordinary endurance.

I don't see negative comments per se, what I see are comments which try to balance the often ridiculously inflated views of others on the same players. Like calling 18-20 year old kids as superstars, and 200+ game players.
You yourself wax lyrical about Maynard. I think the kids got promise but he's got some flaws too that come from his youth and inexperience. That's not negative, that's just honest assessment.

That's fair enough dalyc. For the record, I think Maynard is going to be a 10 year player for us, with enormous upside. For the record, I never thought that either Swanny or Heater would make it as AFL players. So wtfwik?  |

I held great hopes for Cameron Cloke so I'm no one to follow. On Maynard , I hope you're right. As someone else hAs posted here, I'm not sure he's got the composure to be a backman. Wing maybe.

Endurance players tend to look fast in the second half / final quarter because they are still going the same pace while everyone else has slowed down from fatigue. |

Don't see many Kenyans running in the 100m.
Endurance and speed, 2 different things.
