I would actually be surprised if they take Hill (well #surprisednotsurprised). They don't need him with Ryan and Rioli roaming their forward line, but they might like to make sure they keep him out of our hands for future trades back to WA in case Ryan does a Josh Simpson or an Ashley Sampi (or even a Harley Balic) at some point. Who else that's left on the board is in an area of need for them?
 
So whats the reason that Hill has slid?

Size?
Injury Concerns?
Go Home factor?

I reckon its the last. Wont affect Eagles though.

not sure why west coast would be into hill? Surely a bit similar to Rioli and Ryan? Perhaps a lecras replacement, but I wouldn't have thought its the most pressing need for them. Would expect a valente type
 
Do hope we go after some smaller forward from now on though. Ballas/Matera aren't particularly inspiring.

Probably all three. But I think his size is #1. He is tiny. I wouldn't be surprised if he is still there at our second pick. I just hope WC don't take him, and hopefully they don't with Rioli, Ryan and Cameron.
 
Went to script. Local prodigy makes it to our pick and we take a Victorian flanker instead. Gold.

Disappointed in the melts. I expect more from this board. I know Sturt isn't a half back flanker but close enough.

I like the sound of Sturt. I think Daniel Menzel is the closest comparison from the footage I have seen.
 
Really like the Sturt pick. We would have reached for Hill at our first round pick and other teams agreed.
Certainly seems to be the case.

I'd be putting out the feelers to see if someone will take our 2019 2nd for Hill (ie next pick). Hill and Sturt adds a whole lot of pace, pressure and skill to our forward line.
