St Kilda are on the rise, in the top 4, can't we just let the long suffering Saints fans enjoy their time in the sun without an arguably petty thread by someone obviously still not over BHill leaving the Hawks

People need to remember that the game is a completely different length. Hill would go close to being the fittest player in the comp, and as such would be doing his best work at the end of quarters and end of games when his strengths take over.
Did he get the footy?

That isnt always his job. Breaking open defences and wrecking structures by out running his opponent is the priority.
Who cares, his inclusion into our side (along with others) has seen us move up the ladder. Anyone who has watched us play this year can see we don't have a "superstar" player. Our side is very evenly spread and everyone is doing their part playing in a fast attacking game plan, something which Hill is definitely doing.

Weird post, Freo weren't a premiership contender.
He's definitely not overweight though. And he's still probably the best kick at full speed in the comp.

Suprised he has not killed a game yet.
I beleive he thought he was going to st kilda to retire & is still adjusting.
If he starts peaking at the end of the season look out world..

He hasn't had the start anyone would like at St. Kilda and when I first saw him after the first COVID break, I must admit I didn't think his body shape looked very good at all.
We all know about his endurance and that base would still be keeping him in good stead, but it's not an observation without merit that he looks unfit. On the soft comment, well I highly doubt he was traded in for his inside ball winning. Expect him to work his way into the season nicely tbh, will be interesting though.

He's a seagull. Not the same player without the Hawthorn midfield feeding him disposals.
He’s had second half fade outs in I reckon 7/9 matches. It makes the question of fitness a valid one. His first halves have been generally very good.
I’m not too fussed while we are winning. If he can get it together consistently then it makes the team even better. If we start to lose then obviously he’ll be a target.
His last couple of games have been pretty decent. Still hasn’t gotten as much footy as you’d expect, but has impacted both matches with around 15 touches.

Nice of all of you to be worried about Hilly on our account.
We’re very happy to have him. May not be playing to his absolute peak right now, but doing plenty of good things on and off the ball. We absolutely expect him to be worth his weight in gold with his fitness as the season progresses and when we go back to the longer games.
Besides, we’ve got him for another 5+ years. Definitely not a trade we’ll ever regret.

Second quarter yesterday: Hill lays a tackle on Swans player in the defensive 50 and the ball spills out, handball chain finishes with Hill who has jumped off the deck and sprinted his guts out to make the receive on the wing and delivers inside 50, finishes with Butler who goals from 30 meters out directly in front.
Amazing effort.
He's a big game player as well as seen in his performances in Hawthorn's grand finals; but then your unlikely to see that at St Kilda.
I'm a fan, the OP was running aths stats, its footy we play, he's a beauty.
So he didn't think it through.

Somehow I think it’s more of a chance than Judd was at Carlton.
Weird timing, I thought he was pretty decent yesterday (at least for the first half given I didn't see the 2nd half). He's always been soft though, I used to cringe whenever he was in a 1 on 1 contest and was happy if he managed to halve it.
Hasn't been having as much of an impact as we would have hoped, but calling him overweight and slow is just a stupid call and reeks of someone seeking attention for a s**t call. He's the best two way runner in the AFL and as quick as anyone, go watch the footage of him against Richmond if you need a reminder of that.
He thrives on his running capacity allowing him to tear the game up as it goes on and other players start to get tired. The shorter game obviously doesn't suit him as much but this has to be one of the biggest nuff calls I've seen all year, so congrats

You've completely missed my point. I was disputing the claim that he's slow and unfit which is blatantly wrong. I even said he hasn't been playing well.
By your logic, Petrucelle is also slow because he doesn't touch it often.

I don't think that's how contracts work mate. His Hawthorn contract would have been null and void and he would have signed a new one, on better money, at freo.
