More info on Simon Phillips:

Despite some good but erratic form at SANFL level for Norwood, Simon failed to make an impact at AFL level in 2012 and ended up being delisted at the end of the season. Simon was promoted for his only AFL game of his season in Round 7 against Fremantle, but couldn’t find the ball and was not given another chance during the year. His SANFL form ranged from very good to poor, finding himself dropped to the SANFL reserves in Round 20 before playing in Norwoods premiership against West Adelaide. Simon played 9 AFL, 22 SANFL and 1 SANFL reserves match whilst on Port Adelaide’s list.

Notes:
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.
