Alright time to change tact and looking forward to the draft
Jevan Phillipou has had a good start to 2025 in the SANFL U18 Comp as captain of Woodville-West Torrens Eagles
3 Rounds played thus far and he has gone
R1 v Sturt (loss) - 31D / 0.1 / 9M / 5T / 6Cl
R2 v Glenelg (win) - 22D / 0.2...
Jevan isn't as good as Mattaes talent wise, not as big and not as impactful but I would think a certainty to get drafted though at this point probably mid-later in the draft but as we know some go forward some go backwards from their underage year. He has certainly started well in 2025 and...
Consistency is what we need most. Proven we can mix it with the better teams, since the back half of last year.
Also proven how bad we can be when not switched on.
Our good, is very good.
Our bad, is still very bad.
Dougal Howard could be a bigger in than any of those guys (strictly talking about this season of course). Will be huge for Wilkie and Caminiti as we come up against bigger forward lines i.e. the Crows
They answered in the best way possible. We really needed to stand up. A night with ex players in, a big crowd at home. Under Richo and Ratts these were the ones we'd find a way to not turn up. That was a massive step forward. If we can push Richmond aside next week go in heads and confidence up...
If we can beat Richmond and find a way against Port or GWS then injecting Pou & Tauru in the back half of the year is going to be bloody exciting.
I genuinely feel that Tauru can be a needle mover straight up
Max King, Cooper Sharman, Liam Henry, MattaesPhillipou, 2x top 10 picks, and more to return to this St Kilda side
Early days of 2025 we are seeing rapid improvement in the depth of this squad as competition improves
I had already given up on this season with the way we played last week. But...
So spoke to someone who knows Phillipou’s family. This is not intel but an opinion.
Mattaes has made a point of building an independent life and his opinion he stays in Melbourne.
His brother is supposed to be very good. If a SA club drafts him then he can see Mattaes coming to that club...
It seems that most clubs this year have longer than usual injury lists. Just our luck that on Sunday, we ran into the one club that didn’t. Cornhole and co. have offered reasonable explanations so I won’t rehash.
My disappointment is two-fold. Are the players being over trained in the...

Chito, Coops, Butler, injured in a practice match. So do we stop practice...
Yep, I was going to do Jevan from that game, but the broadcast is pretty messed up. They were having issues with their onscreen graphics among other things.
Reichelt and Schubert from centrals coming up.
Couple of WWT Eagles lads with enormous games on the weekend Jack Cook (SANFL round 1 MVP) 37 disposals, and Jevan Phillipou (Mattaes' brother) 31 disposals.
I think it's been thinned out by injury more than a bad line. It looks like one of our strongest now bizarrely.
Adding a more tap focussed ruck and Macrae will be interesting to watch.
Good write up, needed some positivity and a reminder we have genuine talent on our list. I'm a Clark defender to the point where it's a running joke with my friends, but I just believe that his skillset is something that only a handful of players possess and we have yet to see his best footy...
...season I think a few will be eating humble pie with Clark.
The saddest moment this preseason was definitely the injury to my boy, MattaesPhillipou. He was (is) ready to rip the AFL apart. The work he did over the summer was just incredible, keeping up with Darce and Hugo and absolutely...
Disappointing for Sharman that it's going to be a month.
If both King and Owens dont get up for rd1, it's going to make for an interesting forward mix.
They're obviously being very conservative with Sharman. All around it actually seems like good news, Owens only short term, Henry not far off and Sincs, Marshall and Jimmy not even listed.
What's going on with Carroll though?
