2023 mid-season rookie draft

Maybe a question on his athleticism, but Garrett McDonough is easily our best VFL player (and one of the best in the league).

His long accurate and elite kicking (and ability to find the ball) might be very handy for our backline/midfield ATM, where we are having terrible trouble bringing it out of.

26 y.o, but we could do worse ILO.

17 kicks, 12 handballs, 7 inside 50's and 2 goals 2 on the weekend.
Fair to say Garret has given up his afl dream, has left our VFL team. As has Ashley Hicks.

Ah bugger. Where's he off to mate? Local footy for a few $$$?

Good player, who suffered some injuries at the wrong times.

The big knock on Phillips is athleticism but not always a deal breaker, his intercept numbers in the VFL similar to a player like McGovern, the only question is whether that reading of the play can be transported to an AFL environment. I think for a rookie pick he's worth a punt.
Phillips has moved from Port Melbourne to Box Hill in hopes of getting an AFL gig.
