Traded Brad Hill [traded with future 3rd to St Kilda for Acres, #10, #58, future 2nd and 4th]

[eastfreo75]

Reality of the Hill trade is that Freo holds the strongest cards - a la Geelong with Kelly last year. You will have to cough up big time or he will simply stay, pretty simple really. I was a harsh critic of him in his last year at Hawthorn and ironically he is now playing the type of football we all wanted from him in 2016

Totally agree.

Fremantle had massive hand if a team wants Hill.

A team will need to pay overs because of the remaining two years.

Team like Melbourne may want to pay overs and improve a weakness ie trade pick 2/3 for Hill.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Has he signed with Hawthorn yet?

Only if he drops his asking price a little.

Read in the Hun Geelong and Saints are leading the race. If that is true I wonder if it's Hill not interested in Hawks or vice versa

Out- Brad Hill and Connor Blakely.

In- Tim Kelly.

Bit of both I think. Hawthorn were keen but don't want to pay him a big contract.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I can't see the Saints offering enough for him. More likely there'll be some trade of Hill for Kelly with pick swaps.

Blakely is about to re-sign.
Words straight out of his mouth from the other day

Saints 1st next year for Hill and a 2nd? Tbh I’d probably just do it for the 1st and back them in to climb up the ladder as that’s gotta happen sometime right? RIGHT? Sorry.

Value him around a 10-15 pick.

Nope, not losing a top 5 player for a speculative future pick.
Will be this years 1st

Edit - value right, but worth more given his contract

You get us Kelly for B Hill, then fine.

Otherwise, not interested in picks.

You aren't getting Kelly for Hill.

 

[nurries]

He is contracted for 2 years. If he really wants to go and a club really wants him, they will pay top value for him or he can stay and we will try again next year

a top 5 pick would be about right or part of a Kelly trade

If both uncontracted yes I agree. Kelly is uncontracted, Hill has 2 years left so that evens things up a lot

 

[Taylor]

Brad Hill is a vital component to Fremantle's team, with two years on his contract.

I'd start the asking price at a first round pick this year and next. If St Kilda are making noise about getting in elite outside talent and need immediate results, I think we end up with their first this year and next in exchange for Brad Hill and our second next year.

That's outrageous mate. He will definitely get you more than his worth being contracted, but that's out of control.

A top ten pick is overs and should get the deal done you would think.

Geelong won't care if Hill is contracted, they'll want a fair deal for Kelly.

Unfortunately for St Kilda, if that's the destination, they are the ones who have to get the ball rolling. He is twice the player Lachie Weller was when he went for pick #2 with a year to go on his deal.

Pick #5/6 and a downgrade of their first next year from #10/12 to #25 isn't a bad deal for one of the best outside runners in the league.

That was your Alan Bond deal. Enjoy it, but overs like that rarely come along.

It's an example of a club trading what it had available for the player.

That's what St Kilda will have to do.

Question (probably covered previously): Why would hill return to Freo only to then leave again 3 years later?
Was he headed home for a family matter or something temporary?

He is engaged to a Victorian woman.

Nobody should be using the Weller trade as a precedent.
That was just lunacy from Gold Coast. Freo recruiters were laughing all the way to the bank.

Im with a kiwi, doesnt mean I'm heading off there any time soon
