It’s an upgrade. Not a huge one, but an upgrade.

So an injury prone ruckman to join TBC and Draper, what could go wrong.
Rate Phillips below LG and Samsung but should be able to perform reasonably if needed.
Now there’s a guy who went downhill real fast.
edit
Had a look at the playing careers of some other ruckmen of yesteryear and was amazed at how many were only good for 2-4 years.
Mark Jamar, Lobbe, Minson, Ryder, Hille, Bellchambers, all 3 Brissy ruckmen during their flag run, Robbie Campbell, Renouf and Taylor from Dawks.
Seems to be a trend that they either start off well from 20-22 and fizzle out or take a while to come on and managed a couple of good years in their late 20s.
Will be Número UNO ruckman once TBC’s body breaks.
I’m thinking round 4 or 5.
Wil Minson is the funniest of that lot.
Rubbish… Rubbish… All Australian… Rubbish.
His 2012-2014 was good
Jamar was similar, one really good year (2010) where he was AA then others (2011-2014) where his numbers were similar but he only played around 2/3 of games then at the end of 2015 he was delisted by the Dees.
Lobbe was virtually unsighted before 2013, was really good over 2013/2014 then pretty sure he was playing SANFL reserves in either 2015 or 2016.
If at least one of those two doesn’t turn up to next year’s Mad Monday dressed as Stokes I’ll be very disappointed
Official.
quality bump.
Its not official until I see it on the AFL Telstra Trade Tracker ™
I am happy with this, think he is a decent backup
Welcome to Essendon Prince.
I for one am extremely pleased to have you. We sure do need a good ruckman.
But he played the sax man! Remember the 15 articles about it every year?
Looking forward to the 4 second highlight reel on club’s website
Welcome the big ranga.
We got him for near enough free.
So why are you pleased to have him?
