Me too mate.

Posters who regard themselves as fans but who continue to put s*** on players like Brad, should be made to read this article.

Good to hear him acknowledge his underperformance in his first 2 years at the club, certain posters should take note.

Has been better this year, which is a trend across the board.


All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

We paid what he is worth unlike some others :oops:
Value for money in my books

I think he’s being a little bit hard on himself regarding the first two seasons I thought he was going okay but was getting a lot of flack from know alls which may have adversely affected him like some of the Dick heads on here
Our disposal by foot had been deplorable for many seasons and seeing his first few kicks gave me a huge smile

I agree mate & Freo played hard ball but we folded like wet cardboard & gave them what they asked & threw Acres in to sweeten the deal but IMO we could of got the deal done without giving up so much but he was the player we were crying out for & as I have already said he has been handy

Hill's unrelenting attacking ball use has been infectious.
Sometimes in can look disastrous when it doesn't come off, but now look at how Sinclair plays and NWM has been influenced to play that way, too.

He's grown on me... :D I love how he's turned things around and love his effort and his attitude since late last year

If we make finals and he keeps playing this way I'll love him even more :mrgreen:

If Ratten continues to use him in defence then he will continue to be a flop.
