I hope he can get in and under and be slippery like Davey around goals. He will never be a high possession player so needs to make the most of his shots on goal and become a goal sneak. Otherwise his size may get him.

It's something to do with his swimming style IIRC.

Flip is a common nick name for someone called Phillip so imagine it's a variation of that.

I read on another site that Phillips has a twin brother named Chris who oozes talent but doesn't have the commitment of Simon.Actually I thought Simon looked taller when he played TAC cause he had dreadlocks and and he actually looked bigger and older.My advice to the kid would be to grow them back.

I found out today that Simon's older sister is married to umpire Matthew Head and she works as a driver transporting prison guards between gaols. She's quite well known as Philips-Head the screw driver.

I heard Micky O interviewed on the radio and he referred to Simon Philips as the jockey so I think thats what the players call him.

Probably because he's almost small enough to ride the favourite at Randwick. :D

Small players don't always stay that way. When Paul Kelly started at the Swans he was a skinny kid from the bush who earned the nickname "Ribs".
