What happened there? Played 22 games last year and was a regular at Collingwood. Only played four games this year and three of them were as the medi-sub. Seems a ridiculously fast fade-away.

taking the spot of some more youth atm

 

He was injured alot of this year.  but played good footy in the VFL and made his way back onto the Emergencies for the AFL side.

obviously didn't play the way Mitchell wanted.

was bloody good at the Pies, and our wing depth is our weakest area,  considering we can pay him peanuts and waste nothing in terms of picks could be a handy depth player.

also just as happy to get a kid and develop him


Had a dodgy PCL and ankle all year. I wonder if Hawthorn will rookie list him.

Mitchell clearly doesn't rate him. Interesting nevertheless.

There was discussion that we were interested but the poos & wees got him.

I have no idea if he's cooked. But if not, he's definitely worth consideration.

The D/land discussion then, was around his speed, defensive effort and he seemed to be suitable to a wing/hbf position.

I'm getting old so may be my memory has faded.

Sorry out now..

Hi guys,

Saw an article today saying that Tom Phillips hopes to be picked up by another club. Is he worth a look? When we had interest in Isaac Smith I know people also suggested Phillips as a decent wingman choice.

 


I would really, really, REALLY like to know why Hawthorn cut him in the first place. 

I know there are some exceptions, but generally when a player has been let go by two clubs there are good reasons why that is the case. 

Not sure what the knock on Phillips is but I wouldn't be keen on picking him up based on his history.

I am not against giving Tom Phillips a rookie spot? He is a pretty good kick and regularly kicks goals too. At least that is what I recall when he played at Collingwood before being traded to Hawthorn.

But only if he has recuperated from his injuries.

This would definitely be his FINAL chance at AFL level though.

Either way, he would be a better option than Oskar Baker as a wingman for the Demons.

Yes he is a better option than Oskar Baker, but I want our kids like Howes, Laurie and Woey to be pressing  for selection.

Hawthorn got a new coach who realised players like Phillips were going to take them absolutely nowhere.

Can’t hit the side of a barn by foot, a little shaky at the contest and is more of a kick chaser than a reliable position player from what I’ve seen.

His move from Collingwood was partly a salary dump, but he’d come down from this best form before that already.

Yep, he was a must have in Fantasy football last year because he could rack up meaningless possessions.

Has  more upside than Baker. Worth the chance and exchange of each player. Cost us nothing too.

Well he was part of the Collingwood salary dump so not really "let go" but why he wasn't getting a run at the Hawks is interesting 

I think he is worth a punt.  last list spot, paid nothing, plays a position we are very shallow in, and brings some experience too.

If we have room give him a 1 year contract, then next year see what the draft looks like if it doesn't work out.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
