That native american bird on his left arm is a shocker hey. Better than Membery's palm tree but that's a pretty low bar obviously.

Most arm sleeves are crap and will keep on getting worse with age like a cheap wine

PRIME example of an AEROBIC athlete. Doesn't need to have big bulging arms or even appear to be super athletic to be a high performing athlete.

Playing great footy right now and I reckon most people love to see it.

He was amazing against North.

Well done Brad, all is forgiven.

Until you have another quiet game when you are 42 and this thread kicks off again….

Answered his critics today, played a great game running off half back and setting up scoring chances, looks like we've finally worked out how to use him.

A bad day for all the Hill haters out there, he shut them up today.

Had a horrible game tonight.

Saw him tackled by Charlie Cameron and got done for holding the ball.

Must be the only player on the main board who has a stalker thread activated every time he has a quiet game.

Been fantastic so far this year.

 

[jwikked]

Yes I think he s**t his dacks about 4 times tonight. Squibbed at least three contests that led to either a loss of a potential goal, or served up a goal for Brisbane. Not a good game for Hill, but he's had a pretty good year.

Pooped his pants when he dropped that mark that led to a late Brissy goal.

He's had a good year but can only call it as you see it.

you must be new here.

 

[janty]

Dropped an easy mark when he heard footsteps behind him.

 

[Breretonisahood]

you must be new here.

Bit rough the way every negative aspect of every game is analysed and criticised.

 

[Atomboy]

you must be new here.

Got another/better example ?!

Had a horrific game last night. It's really sad watching him try to play football. Saints have absolutely ruined him.

He was bad for sure, but he's had a much better season this year. Last night was unusual - he seemed to shy away from contests he'd normally at least try to get involved in.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

After a very good first half of the season which finished with two massive games (for a combined 63 disposals, 19 marks and 1250m gained) he was clamped down on by Brisbane and had an off night. Not a big deal

 

[Freomaniac]

I was just correcting your lie ‘that freo got rid of him’

He walked.. massive difference no matter how much freo mayo you apply

Well, Brad Hill didnt excatly walk out for free, didnt he?

 

[Freomaniac]

I watched the Eagles vs Saints game on the weekend.

Brad Hill got tackled. he was in the ground in pain. when I say it the 1st time, I actually though he injuried his shoulder.

Turns out he injured his leg, well his knee to be exact. Sad to see him injured though.

 

[Bald]

He’s good enough. I don’t think anyone will disagree that he’s overpaid a bit but he’s not alone there.

I am sure he did mate....

Saints were practically done and dead by quater time, Buried at Half time.

Not even the Great Brad Hill could do anything about it lol

I like Brad Hill, but he was silent against your mob this round.

 

[Freomaniac]

Of course. But I'm not trading pick 10 and change and paying him $800k a year. That's why there is a Hill thread on the main board. He's a good player, but he's not a top 50 player. He was brought in as a big name recruit and the Saints paid overs to get him. When he went from Hawthorn to Freo there was basically zero scrutiny because at the time he wasn't one of Hawthorn's best players and Freo traded pick 23 for him. It's a bit like Tim Kelly. If he had down games for Geelong big whoop he's a guy that has played two seasons. Now he's a high profile guy we paid to get the pressure is on to perform as a top level player.

Brad Hill trade as a result....

Dockers handed Brad Hill and a 2020 3rd rounder.

Saints gave the dockers in return? Pick 10, pick 58, Blake Acres , 2020 2nd rounder and 2020 4th rounder.

What Saints gave to freo was what you would offer for an elite inside mid like a Dustin Martin or Patty Dangerfield or a Key forward kicking 50-70 goals a season.

Also.... Brad Hills contract situation at the dockers when he joined at the end of 2016....

Brad Hills 5 year contract was front loaded. 2.5 million over 5 seasons. $700,000 a year on years 1 and 2. $500,000 on year 3 in 2019. had he stayed in 2020 and 2021, he would only be on $300,000 a year in 2020 and 2021.

Saints offered $900,000 a year for 4 ot 5 or 6 years.

Anyone who thinks that Brad Hill is not on $900,000 a year at the saints is deluded.
