I can remember Kreuzer playing in an AFL match - not so much Phillips if we are talking fitness over the last two years!!!....however the only real knock I have on Phillips is the fact that he cant run with his opponent- Grundy torched him in ground coverage - he was a huge part of Collingwood's 'extra' man in multiple link ups through between the arcs - Phillips ( literally) allowed Collingwood an extra midfielder for most of the match - no way Kreuzer would allow that to happen - one way or another Grundy would be reduced in effectiveness if he was playing on Kreuzer.
You need to watch more Collingwood games - Grundy’s running torches everyone he plays against.
