I've always been a Will Phillips supporter thinking the glandular fever and a few other things have effected he's development but my patience is wearing thin. Has been horrible since coming back into the side

oh well
Plenty in here demanding his selection off the back of poor VFL performances. Will not be on a list next year.

Lol all of you clowns finally realising what's been plain for years.
Agree, where is Nostra now?
Been his biggest supporter but looks to be yet another victim of our piss poor development.
He was an in and under ball winner in juniors, so let’s play him in the stoppages on the defensive side as a 3rd receiver? Makes absolutely no sense.
Overcoached and devoid of confidence.

Not really interested in the ancient games of “told-you-so” concerning past drafts, but after all the character and professionalism this bloke has shown through adversity, I did wish he could string together a quality season this year, but alas, it’s looking so unlikely isn’t it.
What a cop out. He's no good and that's on him.
So disappointing. Not done yet but hard to see a way back from this point. In a historically bad North side too.
No he doesn’t. What a terrible call. The sh*t-for-brains recruitment and development staff have done that.
Pick either the VFL or AFL team to play the rest of year in to get consistency and fitness.
Not looking good however- reactive, second-guessing, no fitness or confidence.
Has 22 other mates.
A lot of people were worried when we drafted him. I don't know if this broken club has broken him or he was just never good enough. Either way, he's a bust.
Well yeah indirectly he sets us back. Looking at his draft year though there wasnt that much more to choose from.

Not sure you can entirely blame development for Will.
If you're going to play midfield in this comp and at his modest height and size you better have stand out athletic traits.
Will's slow and he has no contest to contest running capacity.

Busted.
It’s almost time for the Will Phil believers to concede.
The Covid, Glandular Fever, Epstein-Barr virus excuses are gone.
He’s just another sub 6 foot vanilla midfielder. Unfortunately.

Was excited when we drafted him as his highlights vid was unreal. Just looks tiny out there and has zero explosiveness. Think it’ll be a while till we see him in the 1’s again, if at all.
