Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed

Family are big Demon fans too.

I am aware that doesn’t matter anymore - just a good story if it happens.

What about tmac and future 2nd  or 3rd rounder for Treloar and Philips. We pay Treloar inflated wage, they pay Tmac's inflated wage

How would we fit Brown in then?

[wheaters31 677]

Surely our attention turns to getting this bloke now with Smith choosing Cats?

Just walk in to a meeting with him, and tell him he can have the left wing at the G.

Get it done!

Some have suggested that offloading tmac is more about having room in the cap for a bunch of re-signings next year, including Mr C Oliver, rather than fitting Brown in.

Also, the Brown contract might be back loaded, though that seems out of favour these days, tmac being evidence where a struggling player gets big money late in their deal

Besides the obvious need for Phillips on the wing who ive been saying for a while would be a great addition, his brother Will is touted as a top 10 pick this year who from all reports is an absolute gun and future club captain. I know we’re nowhere near that sort of range at the moment, but from what others have said we could certainly package up some players and picks to send to GWS to get into that spot. I’d be getting brother Tom on board regardless, but the potential of getting his brother either this years draft or when he comes out of contract could be a massive bonus. From Cal Twomeys write up he’s a goal kicking mid who looks to be able play with real breakaway speed.

Tom's brother Ed is at St Kilda. They don't have another brother... they have a sister.

Can find the goals.

Those highlights weren't that impressive. Kicks seemed to float and didn't see much hard running to present an option.

Assuming Brown is secured I would be turning all my attention to Tom Phillips, including picking brother Ed up from the Saints on the way through who’s is OOC.  If not and we can clear some space with Tmac any half decent offer for Polec should be next port of call.

Narkle also interests me as a worthily OOC option as well as any potential way to get Jack Sinclair out of the saints. More run and outside polish is needed once we land the big fella.

I wouldn't go for Ed personally.

Aside from Brown, would you not prefer Jordan Clark over all of those. I would. He has pace as well, probably more than the rest. 
I would go hard for him and look at the others as secondary.

No. Philips proven ability to gut run the wing consistently at quality and gettability does it for me. What would it take to get the contracted Clark out of Geelong? He is contracted and would not be costing them much yet. If he was good enough he would have got a game over others this year so he no sure thing in my eyes. They will need some quality young players when the aged care plan #getdangeraflag fails. I am looking for us to get role players we need at a suitable value for worth.

On comparing the 2, while Phillips would be easier to get, Clark is a better kick and 4.5 years younger. If Tom Mac joins Preuss at GWS, we could get involved in the Cameron deal and maybe get Clark from the Cats. I think they were prepared to let him go home to WA, so on the way there he could play 10 years with us first. 
I am not against getting Phillips, just would love to get Clark.
