More info on Simon Phillips:
After a couple of strong seasons with Norwood in the SANFL, Simon was picked up by Port Adelaide in a trade after he was pre-listed with the Gold Coast Suns. Simon had experienced AFL football with Sydney a few years earlier and had impressed in the SANFL with his pace and goal sense.
After breaking his jaw in the SANFL GF, Simon missed much of the pre season and played his first game for the year in Round 4. He kicked 3 goals and made the best players for Norwood. He played one more SANFL game before coming into the Power lineup as sub against Hawthorn in Round 7. He slowly found his niche and he started to become an important link between the midfield and forward line with his pace and ability to find space.
Simon played 8 games for the year, kicking 7 goals and averaging just under 12 disposals a game. He busted his shoulder in the game against Brisbane at the Gabba in Round 15 and missed the rest of the season after having a shoulder reconstruction. Simon adds another dimension to the forward line with his pace and ability in front of goal, but what he must do is improve his decision making and become cleaner with the ball. Too often he would find space only to fumble and give up the ball. If he is to make it at AFL level, this must improve. If it can, then he could become a very valuable addition to the line up.
