Re: Votes v Swans
He’s just not as fit as he was when he was winning B&Fs
You can see he has a gut
He (along with Isaac Smith and Blicvas) was the best runner in the game - now he’s not.

We know Hill is an outside type.
However what's a non-negotiable is - players Must hold their ground.
Not a good look to stick an arm out or dodge contact.
It's a contact sport, including laying the occasional decent tackle.

Re: Votes v Swans
Which wingmen in the AFL have high tackle numbers?
He isn’t good at it, yes
But his primary job is to run to receive and then deliver

Re: Votes v Swans
Good point you raise Dud. Hill was struggling on the wing so they moved him to the backline. The directive from Ratts didn’t change though. He still wanted all players to ‘look’ for Hill and give him the footy when he’s free.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sun 06 Jun 2021 9:21pmThen why are we playing him off the back flank?B.M wrote: ↑Sun 06 Jun 2021 8:30pm Do we understand what we got when we recruited Hill?!
He’s not Lenny Hayes!!!
He’s not an inside mid
He is the epitome of an outside player, he’s not even someone who could go inside for periods, he’s entirely outside! which is fine, because you need outside run and class
Which is why recruited him
We have Steele, Ross, Crouch, Dunstan, Bytel, Hannebery, Jones and Gresham to play inside.
We have Billings, Hill, Sinclair and maybe Clark who can receive, run, carry and deliver.
I think we expect him to be something he’s not, he’s an elite runner with skill that’s it.
If you’re playing in the backline you have to be able to defend and win one-on-ones occasionally, both things he is hopeless at.
I made the comments about Hill being an outside player and was just comparing him to our other outside players and I wanted to raise the point about how Sincs got his touches versus Hill. I think it’s significant as they both play similar roles
They’ve dropped Long because he doesn’t get enough touches apparently. JFC!! If the coach said; “Handball to Ben at every opportunity” watch how many possessions Long will get.

He started the year as a wingman but that’s not where he’s playing the last six weeks

Re: Votes v Swans
LOL - but the Dare Sainter of the Round only got 2 votes - which I think is indicative of what he should have - he was good and if he had converted at a better rate would have deserved the 5 - but Steele, Crouch and Members WERE better.

Re: Votes v Swans
HBs
The most unaccountable players in the AFL
They let their opponents go up to the footy and sag off (zone) and look for a chance to run and create without a defender.
Unless he is tagged, Caleb Daniel wouldn’t know what number his opponent is!!!

Re: Votes v Swans
Comments about Hill not playing wing and going to HB and inference made that as a defender should be tackling more.
