Phillipou

[Banger9798]

Great debut

Just re watching the last quarter and he was instrumental

Clean hands, hard at it, smart player with good skills

The kid is only just 18 years old

Dead set gun in the making

[skeptic]

Yep. Super exciting. Was lively, competed… incredibly composed, executed and just has that look as though he will make something happen around the contest.

Most exciting debutant we’ve had for a while.

I really like him.

[The_Dud]

Love the Pou

[CURLY]

Will get better when he gets more selfish. Gave a few off when he should have backed himself to kick the goal.

[George27]

That beautiful left foot at half forward , good hands , knows where the goals are. Where have I seen that before ? Not quite the start of George Young who kicked 4 and was BOG on debut in round one 50 years ago ( which I remember like it was yesterday ) , but then again this kid is just 18. Exciting.

Who was the last player to play for us at such a young age?

Only a couple of days short of being in this year’s draft and we don’t play many debutants in Round 1.

[stkfc1]

Know we're only one game in but gee wiz it's hard not to get excited about this kid.

He's got all the hallmarks of being that superstar gun we've been crying out for.

Our own Bont, Dusty, Tractor type player. I know its a team game but the best teams have that one superstar player and he could be anything.

[IluvHarvey]

The kid oozes talent.

[Trev from the Bush]

I'm very excited by him and Owen's. Get Wingy back then watch what happens.

Of course, St Kilda only recruits delisted rejects from other clubs. How did Wood and Stocker go today?

[mr six o'clock]

Yes !
Can we sign him up now for the next 10 .
A decent debut , but it was all the little 1 percenters he did that excites me for the future, thinking/ hoping he'll be all Australian quality before too long.

[Trev from the Bush]

Just got home and put on my best Big Kev shirt.

l'M EXCITED!

George Young. Elegance on a football field. I hope Matteus is like him.

[SaintPav]

All class.

Give him a ten year contract now.

[WellardSaint]

16 disposals.
I was worried about him playing at such a young age, but geez he oozes poise and self-belief. He knows he belongs.
His mum shed a tear at that magic goal, too

Thanks for answering my question.
According to AFL tables Owens is the youngest of those at 18 years 175 days. Billings and Gresham both made their debuts at 18 years and 216 days.

By my calculations, Phillipou was 18 years and 82 days on debut which makes him the youngest since Goddard unless we can find someone else.

Nathan Burke, Barry Breen, Carl Ditterich and Matt Maguire also debuted at 17.

[Devilhead]

The Pou was youngest in his draft year

A few cms of growth and another 10kg of muscle

[saynta]

16 Possessions in his first game and not one of them wasted.

The boy will be our next A grade player

I was a bit worried that he'd be pushed around by AFL level opposition but then seeing him tower over Dal Santo post-match put it into perspective. He's a long way off being the finished product but he's a big, explosive athlete.

He, Caminiti and Owens are all big men, they are just young big men but they can all move very well.
