North Melbourne midfielder Will Phillips is reportedly set to "assess his options" at the end of the season.

With his contract set to expire and limited game time in 2024, rival clubs believe he's on the lookout for consistent senior opportunities after toiling away in the VFL for the majority of the year to date.

News broke that the former Pick 3 is keeping an eye out for his future, which begs the question of which club could be a suitor.

Could it be the youthful Richmond who is set to lose Dustin Martin and Dion Prestia to retirement sooner rather than later?

Or West Coast, who are looking to bolster their midfield stocks around Harley Reid into the foreseeable future?

Here are the top FIVE potential landing spots for Phillips...

4. Geelong

When a player wants out, it seems that Geelong always throws its hat in the ring.

Whether it be due to the lifestyle in Victoria outside the city bubble or the impressive organisation that has resulted in more finals series than not since the turn of the century.

The Cats are building their youth nicely and through injury to Patrick Dangerfield and Cam Guthrie, were forced to rely upon Tanner Bruhn, Jack Bowes and Brandan Parfitt earlier than anticipated.

However, the imminent retirement of Dangerfield and Guthrie, does open the door to bringing more talent in.

Phillips has the skillset, which is why he was taken with Pick 3 in the 2020 Draft, but has struggled when given the opportunity.

Under Chris Scott, like many other players who land at the Cattery, the Kangaroos midfielder could thrive in a more stable and harmonious organisation like Geelong.
