Wrap Phillips in cotton wool and focus him for next year and give games to downie. If he performs well then we throw a contract in front of him and that's leaves Adams as the only unsigned player from our inaugural draft. Then target a player like Paul Johnson from east Perth who has been dominating the wafl and finished high in last years sandover to bolster our ruck depth. A ruck list of Giles, Johnson, downie and Phillips isn't that bad. Then next year will be te year of NN speculation.

Rough trot for Phillips this year after the hamstring tendon issue, John Quinn said it started with an awkward fall at training which damaged the tendon and from there he just couldn't quite get going.

And what's with the hips? Townsend and Phillips this year, and last year there was WHE, Growden, Cameron and Mohr all having hip surgery at the tail end of the season.

Alot of players have been getting hip bone shaving across the league. Is it the same with our players?

Sorry to intrude, I was wondering if anyone knew what is happening with Dom Tyson? It seems he recovered from his PCL late May but has only cracked for one game since. I noticed he's been emergency a couple of times.
Is he still not 100% or does his form not warrant a game?

Thanks

Yeah having missed December through May his fitness just isn't quite there. He's had some good games in the twos from what I've read, especially over the last 2-3 weeks so he'll be in line for another game or two.

More hip surgery! This must be code for something...

We'll rebuild them... faster... stronger...

Basically its bone shaving surgery with the idea being that bone that has rough edges or an irregular shape in the hip is rubbing against soft tissue in the joint, causing tendons to fray or muscles to tear. So its injury prevention surgery more then anything
