Phillips reminds me of....

[Joffa Burns]

Jason Gram, similar running and kicking styles and similar style player.

[ace]

He reminds me of guys who have left the club to join relatives because they were sick and tired of playing in losing teams with a bunch of no hopers.
He will be at Collingwood with his brother in a few years time.

[chico2001]

Looks like a 100 game player to me and maybe should have been in earlier, Long is a future 100 gamer as well and Bailey Rice battled well against the maggots. So there are at least 3 good young ones coming through. These 3 actually look more like good goers than some of the current 50 gamers we spruik about.

[degruch]

Oh no...you mean he kicks 35m long and 35m up with no penetration?

Positive and pleasing

And has a gambling problem?????

no, I saw him leaving the match with a young lady who resembled the lass photographed in this pic...

[SaintPav]

Ed reminds me of Andy Collins.

Still reckon penetration might be an issue.

Wasn't there a stalking issue?


And Phillips actually reminds me of a young Brendan Goddard....without the tude'.

[SaintPav]

Witty!

[mad saint guy]

While he's a similar size to Gram I'm not sure I agree with the comparison. Gram was a lightning quick, explosive half back/wingman with a long but errant kick. Phillips seems like a neat, composed outside mid who will accumulate possessions without doing anything too notable with them. I'd say he's a more composed Farren Ray without the overhead marking.

[Selhurst Saint]

He actually reminds me of Damen Shaw.

[Saintmatt]

Beat me to it. Having said that - he was was a hair's breath from winning the Norm Smith in 2010 GF1

2009 you mean. He had the same points as Chapman but it went to Chapman as geelong one the GF.
He could be a norm smith retrospectively when they change the rules.

Anyway Phillip's reminds me of Matt Young

This. Their kicking style is completely different. Phillips kicks so far are short, conservative and accurate. Gram's kicking was very long and was a weapon, but not always accurate.

I would have thought Savage plays a more similar style to Gram, but more accurate.

[CQ SAINT]

Matty Young.

[CarlD]

First thought was Matt Young but perhaps a touch of Russell Morris too.

[saynta]

He actually reminds me what a f****** good young footballer should look like.

[saintspremiers]

Reminds me of Coghlan

[dragit]

Sign this boy up pronto.

[saintspremiers]

Sign this boy up pronto.

If we can extend Richo for 2 years last year then The King should be given a 10 year deal!

[saynta]

Sign this boy up pronto.

Eddie Everywhere already has his beady ugly little eyes on him.

[saintbob]

A young Andrew Thompson, but with better disposal.

[elizabethr]

Reminds me of a young Robert Redford in "The way we were "

Correct. Right you are. I always remember Gram - for all his good kicking - being amazingly courageous when it mattered in 2010 GF1 leaving his man in the dying seconds to effect the spoil on the wing.
