Past 34. Sam Philp

Out of curiosity, what is a 'SOS special'?

To be honest, if you had to define a unique 'SOS' pick, wouldn't it be an ex-GWS player with a bad injury history, who we got for a bag of chips in a back-room super-secret handshake deal with his former club?

I hope he's the complete opposite - certainly seems to have some good attributes and has played well in the wide open spaces of 12-v-12 scratch matches, so good luck to the boy!

I'd define a SOS special as someone he reached for who looks very talented.
Willo - Pick 61
TDK - Pick 30
Philp - Pick 22

Also would define a SOS special as;
Trading 2016 Pick 16 for 2015 Pick 8 = Harry Mckay
Picking Mckay Pick 8 over Charlie as Adelaide were interested and getting both
Getting Martin for free

Hoping Alex Marcou is the one who presents Sammy with his #34 Guernsey in the locker room pre-match

So glad he is in the side. Big focus on guys who tackle and hit the contests hard and if they have pace and give good competitive efforts then that's a huge bonus. I think he's going to go well and we're going to be seeing a lot of him but that is from limited viewing.

Very much doubt he will be allowed inside the CFC bubble at the moment.

"Fabulous"... He might have to clean up his speech a bit

Great selection IMO. Last week showed that what we really need is more aggression around the ball. Skills are one thing but if you are rag dolled in the first quarter and spend the rest of the match playing catch up then skills only amount to so much. I am not saying Philp isnt skilled, but from what I have seen/heard, he is very "see ball>get ball". His breakaway speed looks phenomenal and maybe this allows him to play the role that Martin was fulfilling in the forward line>>>> Martin can spend most of his time on the ball.
Hopefully Sam wont be over awed by playing this type of role . But recent first year players have shown that anything is possible.

I'm wanting an Andrew Walker debut. No pressure.

I hate to break it to you but Walker debuted about 16 years ago and is now retired. He did play well in his first game, if that helps.

Hope he takes his mouthguard out post match

I keep watching the very last highlight.

Kennedy handballs high so SP has to reach. Should be tackled by Geelong Player 1.
SP Cuts hard right avoiding Geelong Player 1 while wrong footing Geelong Player 2.

Straightens punches it Comfortably through from 45

Straight out of the Eagle CJ playbook. First goal reminds me a little of CJ's goal in the 2013 EF taking the handball to stream into goal ( though the ball came from a different side of the body)

Struggling to contain my excitement, so few players have that burst. No pressure Sam.

great highlights and a shout out to some quality drum machine work at the 45 second mark!

Why?

Anyway there are a few former 34s around. Nick Duigan, De Iulio, wiggins etc...

Maybe set up a live video link...

My understanding is they are trying to limit contact with anyone outside the football club, so no one who isn't part of the coaching support staff would be in the room with them.

26 disposals 3 goal assists and what would have been mark of the year...

 

[thylacine60]

I'll accept that........

Yeah I've heard something about some illness that people are trying to avoid??

Imagine being so fast that along as you were running as fast as you could, no one could touch you.

As a Steve J/Lance Whitnall hybrid, pace was a trait I never enjoyed.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I'll accept that........

I’d like some goals too...

Might be the impactful 20 possession player we lack.

I’m excited by his style. Hope he plays on-ball.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I’m looking forward to the pressure around the contest that he’ll bring tonight. I’ve got a feeling that this guy is no shrinking violet.

 

[Jabba73]

Didn’t look out of place, will be better for the run. Hope he keeps his spot

 

[NumberEight]

made a ton of mistakes but when the game was on the line cleared the ball from defensive 50 with a great pickup and slick handball.

Has to keep his spot for at least this week
