Phillips works hard buts has only had 20 touches in 3 weeks. If you're a 2nd ruck you have to give something up forward both on the scoreboard and applying defensive pressure, the latter not the domain of a lumbering ruckman. Much better with a smaller runner. McKay's capable of relieving now. If not Rowe might fill-in.
Isn't it about time that the AFL did something about knees to the back? We'll have ruptured kidney's and lungs along with spinal injuries and more breaks to rips before too long (owing to the strength and speed of players today impacts to the back are more dangerous than in years gone by).
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
