No coincidence we looked completely different when Flip started clunking marks.

If only he could do it all game like Gawn.

Yeah I think someone mentioned that Flip seems to do it at the end of the game.

Phillips calls time on AFL career

Big beautiful bastard.

 

[Beerfish]

Damn. I just got over losing Frang and now I have to deal with losing Frang.

 

[Vander18]

surprised by this….thought he stick around to play VFL and AFL as needed.

Limited but totally honest with his efforts and gave good service. Will finish up and have no regrets I reckon, got everything possible out of himself and his footy.

Thanks Flip, good luck.

…..Will always have the memory of 10 year old Little Vander calling him Franger at an EFC family day and Flip giving him the filthiest look I’ve ever seen.

Just the total opposite of a footy d!ckhead, will miss Flip's clumsy effectiveness

Yep - seems like a quality bloke from afar.

Was hoping we would offer him a rookie spot. Hopefully big Drapes can stay fit next season
Great opportunity For Bryan to take his game to the next level.

All the best big flip

Bugger. He hasn’t been a star but has been useful backup.

 

[VelvetSledge]

And there goes the best rig on our list.

Shame

 

[windyhill]

* ! This saddens me. Love the bloke.

 

[Vander18]

And there goes the best rig on our list.

Shame

The rig was underrated due its overwhelming whiteness and the red hair I reckon

He’s a massive unit and shredded to go with it. Very, very powerful individual.

 

[citizen-erased]

so, can Francis come back now?

fare ye well Flip. Great service has been appreciated

Didn't realize he was a Tasmanian. Enjoyed watching him this year. Can only wish him well as he goes overseas.

 

[Happyskeret]

Enjoy retirement Flip.

[Vindicater]

Loves his death metal so he is alright by me.

 

[DonsRule]

Thought he would hang around another year.

Well gone on your career Flip

 

[bommer16]

I’ll miss him but change is the one constant. Sad but a sign of Essendon moving into a new era.
Thanks Andrew. All the best.

Go well sweet redheaded prince, do we have a successor on the list or do we need to draft a redhead this year?

He should be looked at for Tassie’s ruck coaching spot.
