ANDREW Phillips has capped off an impressive return to the Blues' senior line-up with a Round 5 Woolworths Mark of the Year nomination.

Playing his first game of the season, the 202cm ruckman timed his leap to perfection to soar above Eagle Mark Hutchings in the final term, putting him alongside Richmond's Trent Cotchin and Port Adelaide's Jack Hombsch as this week's nominations.

The 26-year-old made his presence felt in the absence of Matthew Kreuzer, having 24 hitouts and six tackles in an even contest with star West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui.

Be sure to get behind 'Sauce' and keep him in contention for the AFL Mark of the Year.
