Remind me how we’ve ended up with a Pitt when we wouldn’t give contract to a significantly better ruckman (in every ******* sense) in Phillips.
Pitt is a far better ruck than Andrew Phillips and not to mention five years younger. Pitt averages more disposals, more marks, more contested possessions and a better hit out to advantage % (despite being a number 1 ruck compared to Phillips who comes up against second rucks).

Only thing Phillips has over Pitt is goals
Could you post those stats by game?
Seems hard to believe.

Pittonet has played 11 games

Phillips has 10+ disposals in 3 games
Pittonet has 10+ disposals in 8 games

Phillips has 3+ clearances in 0 games
Pittonet 3+ clearances in 7 games

*Apologies marks Phillips is slightly ahead (0.6 more a game) I just read it wrong.

Skinny stats.

Pretty easy to see how much better Phillips is than Pit .

Phillips is a battler in every sense of the word. Played 27 games for us in 4years due to fitness and form and has averaged about 8 games a year for the bombers.

Got flogged by Darcy last night and Freo kicked 5 or 6 goals direct from centre bounces.

Pittonet is a significantly better ruckman in terns of hitouts to advantage. Every now and then Phillips does something that looks good. Not very often though.

Grass isnt always greener on the other side.
 
He can kick straight however.
Having seen the "why did we give up stocker" and the "why did we give up Phillips," posts this weekend I'm just waiting for the SPS post to make up the highly unbelievable trifecta.

Lots of people on here go to the tip with with a boot full and come back with two boot fulls .

To be fair, SPS has been okay for the Eagles this season (not saying much mind you)

He is the least of their 1000s of issues at the moment.

They’re both toilers - nothing special.

Pittonet is stronger and more durable than Phillips. He wouldn't have been thrashed/ embarrassed last night like Flipper was (and I liked Phillips when he was with us)

His body is also about cooked, many * fans expect Phillips to either retire or be delisted at the end of the season.
