O'Brien was flavour of the month coming into the game.
Phillips had 35 hitouts (32 to Obrien), took 3 contested marks, including 2 inside 50 and kicked 1.1 and a goal assist too.
Obrien certainly didn't play a bad game, but pat on the back to Phillips who first up, performed.
Philips was ok in the ruck but Obrien had 20 possies to add to his 32 hitouts...not bad for a young player with zero help from his fellow ruckman(if you could call Jenkins a ruckman). I would keep Philips as backup but replace Lobbe with a bigger younger ruckman who can be trained to play on the monsters..
