I’ll be very surprised if he gets up for next week, surely something got strained/torn the way he went down?

Played the game out, was running well. Didn't see him try to change direction though.

See what scans say.

Despite our list woes, he’s been a trooper.

He’s busting his guts and his 1%s have been terrific.

Even though he gets pinged holding ball at times, at least he’s prepared to take the game on.

From the press conference "just a tweak".

He was chasing an opponent flat chat in thr dying moments. I wouldn't have thought he would have come back on if it were any more than a tweak.

Hill looked ok but Battle looked like he'd been in brawl

He did a massive smother on the boundary that amazed me.
Also, he put his body over the ball in between 2 Eagles and wore the contact- where last yr under Cuddles, he would never have got close, as an outside player.
He was outnumbered but his effort stopped them, resulted in a ball-up

I’ve certainly been critical of Hill since he arrived (and rightly so IMO) but this year I think he has been one of our top consistent performers and can hold his head up high in a lot of games where many of his team mates can’t.

Hope he’s ok.

Agreed. He had an uninspiring start to his career at the Saints and copped a lot of flack - some certainly warranted, maybe some unfair.

However, he has been very good this season. Using his experience and speed to advantage. Very much a needed player.

Couple of smothers and he’s Glen Archer?

He’s been solid this season as a high half forward.

Played most of his footy last couple of years at HB and played some great games but was inconsistent

This season he is fitter and has been pretty consistent- hasn’t torn any games up though.

To be fair to Hill, nobody has.

Sinclair?

Our first 7 we were flying

We’ve been a bit ordinary since, some players have been alright though. Sinclair has been playing at a high level all season

Hill has been far far more physical in his defensive efforts compared to “choose your own pre season adventures” from previous coaches …
Now why would that be….?
