Welcome Mattaes Phillipou

Post: # 1989001Post skeptic »

Post your info here

#10 St Kilda: Mattaes Phillipou: My bargain of the draft and plays like Bont 2.0. Tall mid, basketball background, wins first possession at stoppages, bursts out of stoppages at speed, takes strong grabs and slots 55m goals on the move like they're routine.

Sounds like we've done well with our first pick. Welcome to the Pou.


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

SNAPSHOT: “A well-rounded forward/midfielder in the mould of Nat Fyfe and Patrick Dangerfield, Mattaes Phillipou’s aerial ability and scoreboard impact make him South Australia’s highest rated draft prospect.”
Mattaes Phillipou is regarded by most draft watchers as the best draft-eligible talent from South Australia. Boasting a 192cm frame and a handful of match-winning tools, part of the drawcard with Phillipou is his projected upside.
However the Woodville-West Torrens prospect has pieced together a strong junior career which has included representing South Australia at the National Championships and winning a SANFL U18 Premiership with the Eagles in 2021. Having announced himself to recruiters last season when he booted 25 goals and averaged 23.3 disposals as a bottom-ager, Phillipou has taken his game to the next level this year, pushing his name into top ten consideration in the process.
Proving far too good for the U18 competition, Mattaes managed to play three reserves games, with his three goal and 13 disposal effort against Sturt in round 17 particularly noteworthy. Among SA’s best performers at the mid-season carnival, Phillipou’s season was cut short when he sustained an ankle injury in August.

Horrible selection. He’s pretty much publicly stated he doesn’t want to play here. Surely he’s paying 50-1 to still be at the club by 2025.

Chris Judd said the same thing about WCE and even though he left, they’ll argue they got value for him

Hopefully we can turn him around

Only question mark was his age…he ticked every other box. I’ll take a 17 year old any day of the week if that’s the case!!!

Did he really say he didn't want to play for the Saints?

Or more likely he barely plays next season on account of Ross Lyon team selection and an undersized body. Plays a bit in 2024 then leaves for a future 2nd round pick.

Want to believe this; but its a monumental risk given we already have Milera whose probably going to walk next offseason. IDK guess I'm just being a skeptic.

Nothing wrong with that ;)

At least he’s a player type that we need

Yeah, I thought he spoke well despite previous interviews making him look a bit full of himself. Sounded stoked to get to Victoria. I don't mind a bit of arrogance on the footy field as long as they can back it up. Petracca was thought to be full of himself at the time.

Mate. He doesn't mention St Kilda. At all. What are you talking about?
