I see Stephen is so good he got coaches votes in the Hawthorn v Suns game.
/they may have fixed it subsequently on the AFL site.

Stephen Hill easily IMO, Kicks goals and his run and carry is exceptional.

Not defensive, do you really think there's a massive gap between the two?Wow why so defensive? You honestly dont think Brad is better do you
Oh absolutely not and I cant stress that enough.
There's enough of a difference that Stephen is clearly better, Brad is younger so can close that gap but would require him to get more hard ball.
Yes, I realize that's not his role in the team, but until he shows he can do it it does matter

I wish I could change my vote, Big bro is so far ahead of Brad it's not funny.
I don't know if Brad can catch Stephen.

Stephen Hill has always been better. Let's not turn this into a pissing contest. Fremantle would take Bradley Hill at their club right now in a heartbeat, as would Hawthorn with Stephen Hill. Two very good players who happen to play different roles.
Both Hawthorn and Freo would love having both Brad and Stephen running around for them.
This only aplies to some comparisons, for example this one is ok, Fyfe vs Ablett is not ok, carry on.
To be fair most Hawthorn supporters rate Fyfe pretty highly.

Fyfe's my favorite non-Hawk. Brilliant player.
As for this poll, Stephen's the better player and has more strings to his bow. Both are guns and whilst Brad will definitely keep improving due to his age, Stephen will also and could even take his game to another level.

Brad's goal kicking is due to hard work, If he could fix his kicking at goal he would be a superstar.
I'm ok with you choosing Stephen but Brad has kicked more goals this year and has more goal assists.
Wonder who would win in terms of first 20-50 metres pace. Stephen Hill is exceptional in AFL across this range, whereas Brad can keep consistent pace 50-80 m. Would love to have Bradley in to complement Stephen. Can only dream.

I think Stephen would win as he seems more explosive off the mark whereas Brad could sustain high speed for longer

I don't think Brad is really as fast as he appears. Regularly looks back at the chaser, arcs around behind them, stops, props and assesses the target. Doesn't really ever seem to burn off players that aren't your typical lumbering ruckmen or key talls.
Pretty clearly not as good as his brother as it stands but leads the league in goal assists and plays his role consistently. I do wonder if it weren't for Smith whether he would rack up Gaff like numbers. Doesn't have the impact of Stephen unfortunately.
How he burns of players and does it regularly is his gut running rather then his raw pace.

His endurance is exceptional and over the length of the ground he regularly runs pocket to pocket leaving his opponent behind. I'm talking about burst, 20m quickness. Doesn't seem to get distance between himself and opponents over short distances very often.
