Phibb and Robbo's move to F'ston

Saw on the Frankston site that Ben Phibbs and Glen Robertson have an appeal against non-clearance from Port Melbourne on Friday night! If the clearence fails, will they sit out the season? or come back and play for us. Can't imagine they would be motivated.

Rumour has it that Robertson and Phibbs will be playing against Port Melbourne on Sunday. Port agreed to a deal. Should be interesting...

Any idea if Port got anything out of the deal? Do we get to add two more players to our list? Anstey was amongst their best last week, interesting to see who we play on them.

we can put 2 more on our list. They may play1's but i believe they haven't played any matches yet at all. Who u reckon would be a good matchup on them...

Assuming they play ones, Phibbs will probably play in a forward pocket as a goalsneak, and Robbo in the midfield. Hard to say, maybe Grima on Robbo, and a running defender on Phibbs ...Urch? Dunno, guess we will see on Sunday!

It is great to see Glen Robertson and Ben Phibbs being relased isn't better to do that than to have the players spend a year out of football.

[quote="PORT"]we can put 2 more on our list. [quote] Rupe, Rupe, Rupe... ??? He's not a bad VFL player Rupert Betheras.

Hmm.. would be a handy get. Not sure how close Port is to the salary cap. or whether they are still persuing him. Space on the list does make it interesting though :D

Why did these guys leave? Even more so, why would they [i]want[/i] to play for Frankston?

I guess because they know that they will be playing senior football and not reserves, and will be getting paid $ more for doing it. They increase their chances of being drafted if they go up against AFL-listed players too (I guess)
