I'm home in the States atm and will be until May, so I won't get to follow any of the early rounds live.
How is Hille going in the ruck? The pundits of course tend to perceive this as our one glaring weakness heading into the fixture, so I plan on following his progress closely.
It sounds like he held his own against King, but do you think he will be able to hold it together enough when the meat of the draw comes around?

He chopped and changed with Henneman throughout the night - both did pretty well in the ruck.
King obviously got first touch most of the time, but both Hille & Henneman were more effective after the tap.
ie. they'd both often wait and see what King would, and then react to that, and help set up the midfield.
Hille will take time, but if he can play like he did last night throughout the season, he'll be an absolute star in a year or two.
He did really well floating around the forward 50 too, and took a few strong marks/goaled etc
We'll all be watching his development with a lot of interest!
:)
Hille's goal in the 2nd quarter was an absolute pearler!!

All David Hille questions should be directed through me !!!!
Quality.
