Phillips...still a baby who's barely played at this level. To write him off is ridiculous. The good thing about him is that he can find the ball and in most of his games for us so far he's had more than 20 possessions. He'll get better. He's tracking as well as his brother at the same stage.
Newnes has been very good for us this year and yesterday he was quiet, so at least respect him for his body of work this year. Remember, prior to last season, he basically hadn't had a pre-season.
Dunstan was good, but he needs to put it together consistently and be better with his disposal. I was pleased to see him get more than 15 touches (which is what he's given us previously)
We have the most inexperienced half back line in the league with Wilkie, Battle, and Paton only having about 25 games between them. They held up really well.
We had 7 very inexperience players out there against last year's premiers and we matched them for most of the game
Battle and Wilikie already play like seasoned veterans
Our game plane is immeasurably better than last season's debacle
Who wrote Phillips off???
Worse than a shorten made up quote that one....
But let’s not take 5 years to work out if he can/can not hit a target under pressure hey?
I don’t care if he gets it 20 times.....Clint Jones used to get it 40 and give it back 30 till he was told handball only please Clint...
We can’t kick under pressure- Newnes is a serial offender with loads of experience who I would argue won’t get better at it
Wilkie handles pressure and delivery better than him, Dunstan and Phillips already....hello recruiters more of this type please???
Anyone thinking the Eagles were in anyway under real pressure from us last night are delusional - every t8me we got near they just used a Dom Sheedy etc and put the foot down.......if they kicked straight in the last qtr the margin would’ve been 10+ goals......
Let’s not do the oh so saints thing and paper over the cracks again??? It’s like getting smacked again in the bad old days but coming h9me happy cause plugger kicked a few.....not gonna get u a flag is it?
Fix the blood delivery into forward line a problem for at 3 years with no improvement and ffs recruit foot skills
