Just a random question.

My daughter came home from school today and told me her teacher 'Miss Phillips' has a brother who played for Geelong but had a head injury and had to stop playing footy.
Phillips is her maiden name as she's unmarried and only about 22 years old.

Any ideas who the player is?

Sam Blease?

Don't know of any Phillips in recent years, not even VFL top ups.....

There is no Phillips on AFL or VFL list ever.
Can't find mention of a Phillips at the Falcons, but it could be. Is that what she meant?

We had Garry Phillips?? In the early 90's.
Maybe she looks really young for her age.
Maybe she was talking about Geelong Ammos
As Dangerwood said Blease. Is she a redhead?

The website has one Phillips , debuted in 1990... that might make him around mid 40's now if he debuted at 18. Possible I guess. Cant say I can remember him.

48yo so the age wouldn't be right. 3 games in 1990.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Phillips .. 48.

22 and 48 is big difference for brother and sister these days.

Apparently it's a Gareth Phillips.

She did tell me he also played for Aberfeldie and I found this.

Fairy nuts. Hope he's doing well. Thought he didn't get the best chance to make it at Melbourne. 5 different coaches or something.
