Toast Welcome to West Coast - Josh Hill

[Natho]

Noticed Hill was working back across the half back line in the past two games. His work rate seems to have gone through the roof.

Sounds like a good sign for me. I think 08/09 was probably the year he worked the hardest pushing up the ground, after that he realised he was good and could get by staying deep and just kicking goals. If his work rate is up he could take his game to new heights and fulfill his talent which would be good to see.

I watched him live 3 times this year. Twice at EP and once with WC and was amazed at how much ground he covered.

His field kicking is also a delight to watch.

I'm sure in previous years somebody reached in through the top of his head and pulled out all the energy.

Great turnaround.

Let's just hope that Hill can keep up this effort every game.
Love Simmo's coaching. Manages to make players step up when needed.

The sooner Darling is back and relegates this balding fat ass to the WAFL, the better.

 

[SpaceClef]

It's been five games - fully expecting him to fade, but hopefully he proves us wrong. Would be in our top 5 for raw skill alone - amazing sticky hands, leap, field kicking and good goal sense. Still only 26. Just needs to stay switched on

Are you talking about Hill ?
He has been very very good since back in the side.

What problem do you have with his game ?

I think just as players have been learning Simpsons game plan and understanding what he expects, Simpson has been getting a handle on what the players are capable of and how best to use them

Hill and Wellingham are the two best examples of this

Lel Rofl LMFAo. Darling wouldn't hurt Hill being in the team.

In fact Hill aint even balding or fat....

Has kicked 14 goals in 5 games equates to 61 over a full season.
Love to see his continue this rich vein of form.

Sorry don't bother replying, I just realised what a idiot poster you where.
You are the guy, that Gunner and E87 usually own.

If you've read my history, i'm sure you came across the many occasions I called out your insider self-righteous lies. Move along.

Both look completely different players over the past month. It's almost as if there contracts are coming up to expiration. The best in these guys seems along way from there worst and if they can sustain there current form then both have to stay in the side even when the likes of Selwood, Darling and Rosa are back.

Hill is not the reason WCE are dominating. Put that down to the midfield dominance. Hill is a front runner. How this board does not recognise that, bewilders me.

Who's the balding fat-arse?

The Balding Fat Ass is a metaphor.

The Balding Fat Ass is a metaphor.

For who?

Is it a Be Sharps reference?

Did someone put something in my drink?

 

[RookiePick]

I thought Pat Footy had already cut McInnes for Darling? We going in with 17 on the field when Darls is back to make it fair on the opposition?

So when Hill was running deep into defence and cutting off a rampant Gray 40m out from goal when Port were on top... that was front running?

Pat footy

To be fair, it could also be me

What about the time he gave up on a tackle chase as he hit 7/10 on his perceived exertion scale? Bringing up singular events is nonsense.

Singular? happened multiple times in that game - turning the ball over in our favour in d50

I don't track his goal kicking, that is what a good crumber should do - i look at how much work he is doing in our defensive half

Since his inclusion- his defensive running has been a standout

The question for Hill is whether he can do that for 22 rounds. However what he is doing at the moment is not front running

I think you are referring to the 2014 vintage Hill.

In 2015 he has been transformed from a Notting Hill Shirez to a Henschke Hill of Grace..
