The excitement attached to Mattaes Phillipou is close to off the charts, as is the potential for the South Australian with unrivalled confidence and hunger to succeed.

After a stunning back-end of his 2024 campaign, Phillipou could only manage seven games in 2025 as he dealt with injuries sustained in the pre-season.

Although not considered a part of his game prior to being drafted, the South Australian’s aerial ability and high-flying heroics are quickly becoming just as much of a part of his skillset as his flair in front of goal.

With a clean bill of health and a full pre-season ahead of him, Phillipou looks once again ready to take the league by storm.
