Brad Hill

[bangaulegend]

Is it just me or was that the most insipient effort I've seen from a highly paid player at our club in recent years .

[sainter104]

Nah not just you

[CURLY]

Wasn’t great but was fantastic last week and the week prior

[fugazi]

Incipient or insipid?
In either case, no.
But it was disappointing

[The Fireman]

Elite One of the reasons why we are where we are

[Wayne42]

Not sure what to make of Hill as a player but tonight he seemed to want to stay outside of the contest for the most part.

Would have done just as well being outside of the ground.

Spell correct changed my initial spelling so I went with it .

[The Barometer]

Rattan will teach them how to use Hill better.

[CQ SAINT]

The Richmond mids wouldn't clear the ball through Hill?

[bangaulegend]

That was not my question I'm talking about tonight

[Wayne42]

Rattan will teach them how to use Hill better.

What about how to use the pill better, that would be a bigger gain.

[bangaulegend]

Nah not just you

Fair enough I must expect too much

[bigred]

His good is exceptional.

His worst is putrid and it looks putrid.

I think we can and will use him better.

I’m a huge fan of Hill (my ex is a Dawks supporter and I’ve watched a lot of him) but, tonight he had a poor game. But he was terrific the two weeks prior.

Of all our new players - he’s the one who’s had the hardest time being used properly in our game plan. He’s a bona fide proper wingman who excels at the end of quarters and matches - he’s still running at the same pace and intensity in the last min as first.

He’s the one with another pre-season of training our game plan that will make us seriously good. Especially at Marvel.

I hope so mate

Hill or the team generally?

[mbogo]

Not just him that wasn't used well ... The ball players were pressured, several times players were loose on the other side but we couldn't get it over and release the run.

All of them, they make it harder for themselves with poor skills.

[bergsone]

Poor game tonight,he just seems to me a much better player when our mids are on top or are at least breaking even.We need his run and foot skills,but dont expect him to pick up the side when we arent playing well

Frontrunner....Yes

Do we need him....Yes

IMO

[bigred]

Yeah its the whole package.

Hill is one shocking contested ball player though.

Awesome athlete and user by foot, but by god he is horrendous in a contest.

[Teflon]

He is never going to bust a pack and that’s not his go
Would love to see a little more courage in how how he throws his body into a tackle....
But that said.... he’s an outside running machine who I agree we’ll use him better over time
Disposal is normally great
I was more disappointed with midfield clearance tonight.....and the coach has mentioned it 3 times since the game ...15-5 difference...

[bigred]

Yeah and usually it is our bread and butter.

Lots of areas we can improve.

[Saintmatt]

They kicked 52 points to our 9 from stoppages tonight.

That’s nothing short of an absolute slaughter.

[Toy Saint]

Hill's best game was against Hawthorn at Moorabin.

He was insipid tonight.

[Wayne42]

Here's how Hill's game was rated, he was given 2 out of 10.

Too often the Saints’ biggest trade acquisition has gone missing this season. And when his team needed him the most, Hill had one of his worst offensive games for 2020. Collingwood great Tony Shaw told 3AW Football: “I look at Bradley Hill - he is not physical at all in this game. He has not tackled. He has not had a mark. When the pressure is on, you have to sometimes go and find your own ball.” Manned up by Marlion Pickett on a wing at the first centre bounce. Just one touch in the second term. Finished with only 11 disposals — his third-lowest tally of the season — and his lowest metres gained tally in eight rounds. Rated a 2
