I think the thing is, Bellchambers got selected ahead of Phillips despite the differences in the amount of pre-season they both completed and our obvious lack of tall options where they could have legitimately selected both. Given the fact Bellchambers has been fit (injury wise) for the past 2 months as far as we know, what makes you think they'd backtrack on this selection, especially given the fact he'll have actual ruck support this game instead of Kyle Langford?
Hopefully with an expanded bench we can select both ruckmen and see which one is better. Plus some people are predicting increased injuries when the game returns, so it will be interesting to see if that's a factor in team selection.
