An exciting player who absolutely oozes class and x-factor, Phoenix Spicer came to North as a raw half-forward/wing player off the back of a strong Under 18s season with South Adelaide.
While a broken arm restricted his ability to participate in the NAB AFL Draft Combine, Spicer completed the agility test in the SANFL’s 2019 Under 18 pre-season in 7.8 seconds, the fastest time of any participant.
Spicer got his first taste of AFL football late in the 2021 season when he made his debut in his home state against the Crows.
North Melbourne debut: Round 23, 2021
2022: After debuting in the final round of the 2021 season in his home state of South Australia, Spicer was made to wait until Round 16 before making his second appearance in the senior team.
The speedster recorded a career-high for disposals in the Round 18 win over Richmond with eight and booted his first goal in the AFL a week later from a set shot against Hawthorn in Tasmania.
With the talent to burn opponents and generate moments of magic, a pre-season dedicated to improving his skill around the contest could see the 20-year-old have a bigger impact in 2023.
