Recommitted Bobby Hill [OOC 2023] - stayed at the Pies in 2025

[Snuffaluphagus]

Pretty unlikely. No reason for them to do that it doesn't benefit them.

I dont know what he'd be traded for if he asked for a trade but I think you're way off on the line of thinking on this one.

I'd be staying away from this one if I'm freo.

 

[Danog]

Hill and 52 to Freo for 29 and 38

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

He torpedoed Collingwood’s season when he went AWOL

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Would be a good replacement for Liam Ryan

at west coast There not contending for a while can afford to take a punt on him

 

[Westend]

Would be a good replacement for Liam Ryan at west coast There not contending for a while can afford to take a punt on him

I agree eagles should have a crack we have heaps of cap space

Jack Steele to the pies, Hill to WC, Ryan to Saints passes the sniff test to me

 

[Mofra]

Going through a rough spot. I think he needs to go back to WA to be with his kids. Could be lost to football of he isn't traded.

 

[schmuttt]

Freo would be mental to go for this IMO

 

[Lach72]

Freo would be mental to go for this IMO

For one of the thirds I’d do it.
That passes the risk reward test for me.

Hill comes in and kick the same amount of goals as Murphy Reid? Say 20-30 goals? He gets his shit together annd pushes towards 40 goals and we have Bolton, a fitter Dudley and Hill as smalls and Murphy Reid moving up field?

Yeah I’ll take that

 

[Dirty_banchez]

If he wants to stay in Victoria, his management want him to stay in Victoria and Brad Hill struggled to help him. Why would coming to WA be the best thing for him?

Would Collingwood want Steele though

I just thought there was a rumoured connection

Because that's where his kids moved to

 

[My Tilly]

Let me guess, he's cracked the sad's after picking and choosing when to train while taking an extended break from the club and immediately wanted to rejoin as soon as they hit momentum in September?

Players like Hill are culture killers.

 

[triple treat]

Hill to Freo
Fredrick to Pies

 

[Obeanie1]

Nah, footy clubs arent like that. I see it as no different to Freo kicking Hogan back over East. Sometimes the clubs just take the hit for the good of the person

And for the good of the team.

Cant have players do the wrong thing, then get rewarded with games when others are busting their gut doing everything right.

Off field issues. GF has walked with child back to WA because she's not happy with him.

Pies wont get top value if he is trwded and both WA teams would be concerned on what dramas he would be bringing.

 

[Obeanie1]

Close. Maybe a few late picks to balance things.

Would prefer Steele at the Eagles. Solid citizen in an area of need.

Regardless of what the off field issues are (and who knows what is true or not), kids moving interstate is a "must be traded" situation if the player wants. There aren't many situations that could completely blow up the working rights situation for AFL players. Holding indigenous father from living near his kids is one of them.

Still need a WA club to be interested.

 

[Eric Shin]

If Schultz cost a F1 & a 2nd, Bobby is worth that or more. Those of you that think otherwise, gimme what you’re smoking.

Niether are worth that.

And niether WA clubs will pay that.

Eagles have bigger issues to address and wouldnt spend that draft capital on him.

Nor do I see Freo spending that.

Looks like a Collingwood problem to solve.

Im sure one would be interested once any trade price fairly takes into account the risk. If he asked for a trade, it would both be a tough one for clubs and player to work through but also go through quickly in trade period like ANB I think.

I wouldn’t be so confident neither club would pay that, especially the Eagles. Just look at how they’ve gone in recent years trying to split picks and getting players through the door.

Eagles will not pay a 1st and a 2nd for Hill.

That is not the best use of a 1st and a 2nd in a rebuild. Trade for a small forward who was banished to the VFL and didnt get selected in finals.

Baker is a solid citizen, just won the B&F and is a leader of men. Is short odds to be club captain next year. Sets standards and cracks in every single game. And cost pick 14 end of the day.

Bobby Hill is nothing like Baker. Cherry on top player. Not a leader and choses when he turns up to play. And seems to have got himself into a pickle off field and his partner and child moved back to WA.
