People just assume the 3cm Phillips has on Serong make him a better key defender…Am I missing something? I have no idea how Phillips is similar to Frost. Frost is an athletic beast. I don't see that in Phillips at all. I'd rather Serong

Capacity to play on a monster key forward. even if we could get away with playing someone like scrimshaw on Dixon this week, if we do end up making the grand final we simply cannot go into that game without someone like Phillips to play on a hogan, Hawkins etcAm I missing something?

Not many people would have that one on their bingo cardImagine DGB coming in and announcing himself as a future AA FB in the final series.
I can dream.
I'm not worried about Port's talls.
I think we will miss Frost if we make it past Friday.
I'll go with whatever the selection committee chooses but if they did go with Phillips over him then I'm they would be in his ear telling him that it was nothing against him and it was a structural selection. If it was Scrim that went down then Serong would likely be the best like for like but either way all we can now is wait to see which way the club decides to go.I get the arguments for and against. But if I was Serong waiting for an opportunity with his form, I’d be pretty dirty if Easy got picked ahead of me.

DGB for one game only, 1980s style aggression, emergency AFL commish meeting next week to introduce a send off rule mid finals.
But, can we sign Phil Tuffnell by then?If Port plays Dixon can we replace Frost with a potato, just to make it even?
He’s played 1 AFL game and almost saved it for us.Phillips is not AFL standard . If we are going to add a tall to replace Frost it’s Serong all day long.
This is how I see it.Last week Phillips was being touted as a certain delistee. I can't see him coming in to play a crunch finals role for us. It will be Serong, and Weddle may have to play a purely defensive role at some point.
He'll still likely be delisted even if he comes in, the problem is that our options at full back are limited. Serong is the better performed player but it's not a role he plays at VFL level let alone AFL level.Last week Phillips was being touted as a certain delistee. I can't see him coming in to play a crunch finals role for us. It will be Serong, and Weddle may have to play a purely defensive role at some point.
This also makes sense.Day/McKenzie in if fit, and back Sicily, Scrimshaw, Weddle. Bring the ball to ground and run off them all game. Port have to find 20 goals to win, won't happen
I have seen enough at box hill level.He’s played 1 AFL game and almost saved it for us.
Port should be permitted to wear their prison bars jumper this week. Would give the game the feel of an “SANFL v VFL” style clash, like the AFC Night Competition back in the early-mid 1980s.
Here is the AFC Foster's Cup match between Port Magpies and Hawks in 1985:
As for Frost being out, the footy gods were never going to let us win the flag after being 0-5, so .
Man, gotta feel for Frosty. Every time a club he's played for is on the brink of success he's had a setback.
I don't think we can look past Serong. Been kicking the door for a while and deserves the reward.
Imagine if Mitch did a Clarko/Robbie Campbell CHB with Lloyd. Those were interesting times.
The hand wringing about Phillips possibly coming in is ridiculous. The best choice is the choice that impacts the rest of our well functioning team the least, and Phillips is the choice. Any option with Sicily or Weddle playing more defensively will end up the same way as every suggestion of Maginness tagging has recently, ain't gonna happen.
