We have two rucks that were working well together. But Frampton with his ability to defend looks useful. Can ruck decently then also match the oppo ruck when they go forward.
I assume he goes back to defence when Cox and Cameron return, but good to know we have another option.

Won a lot of hearts today with what he did.

Club can't do much wrong at the moment. It's great.
And last week as well.I reckon we would have lost both games if he hadn’t played.
Managed to stick a mark in the last quarter but I swear he got first hands to quite a few in pack situations up forward across the first 3 quarters.
Not sure if that was a reflection of a weakness in his game or it was just an off day but if he can push forward and start holding more marks he'll be an even bigger asset.

That might be a tad strong. Had a ripper game, contested really well but they dominated the hitouts.

Phillips is such a nothing footballer.
Very old school style ruckman. Steve McKee type. Pointless in modern football
Wait and see what happens when McStay gets back and fires up.

If you're a ruckman and cant take a contested mark then you're a VFL ruckman, being able to provide contested marking around the ground is the 2nd most important part beside being competitive in the hitouts for a ruckman

That is where Grundy has let himself down.
Yep they almost doubled our hit outs. But Billy had the most HO on the day. And Billy helped us win the clearances. Not bad for a makeshift ruck.

Just to put this in perspective, Brodie Grundy has had two contested marks for the SEASON.
Not trying to hate on the guy, but there's a reason we had to move him on. A part time ruck like B-Framps has more of an aerial impact than poor Brodie does.
And that contested clunk goal is one of the major reasons we got up today. Bravo, Billiam!

I don't think it has to be marking, but you have to offer something after the ruck contest.
Phillips probably gets about 6 hitouts to advantage a game, half of those his teammate will be wrapped straight up in a tackle or the bill will jar free to the opposition. Rucks like him just offer so little.

Big Billy has had to carry the weight of the club on his shoulders the past 2 weeks with all the ruck talk. Couldn't be more impressed with him. What a recruit
He's been absolutely invaluable! I've become a big fan. He does his job week in week out, no matter what he's asked to do.

He will certainly have a lot of firing up to do!
