Brad Hill

[Thistle]

BHill was committed to Fremantle. Just rewatch his reaction to seeing Fyfe win the Brownlow. He loved the club. It's not surprising that after being dragged back to Victoria by his missus that he is now miserable and playing poor footy. His heart is no longer in it.

Was going to say that he looked genuinely happy at Freo. Got to play and hang with his brother and best mate Sonny back home in WA. Honestly don't think he wanted to leave and now looks lost at St Kilda.

He’s weighed down by his wallet

If their game v WC next weekend was here in Perth he might not get back on the plane after they lose. Guess he'll have to wait until they play them the second time.

100%.

Clearly his partner wanted the cash and to return to the city she was from.

Saints fans are the worst in the league, even worst than the dirty birds.

Not a great club to play and they eat their own.

Docklands is pretty on the body compared to the G. Not a lot of success comes from the ground.

Saints should hire Ross as a consultant to find out how he took him from a very good play to an elite one. What a reunion.

He was elite at Hawthorn. Stepped up even higher at Freo.

Then decided he doesnt need to football anymore. Just cash the cheques.

Saints travel to Perth late in the season to take on West coast. Round 20 or so I think

Brad was very good today vs WC.

Still a bit untidy but he is so clear of Gaff it isn’t funny

Bring him back next year for pick 80 and let the Saints pay $500k of his salary

I was thinking the same.

When you have to talk yourself into putting in effort & playing well, in particular through the media like he did last week, as a coach & supporter I’d be furious.

His head, but more importantly his heart, is just not in it.

Sounds good. He misses Sonny.

he went for the money, he is just realizing the $$$ is good but doing something you enjoy is alot easier.

Would "going home" for the third time be a record?

[Wally Walpamur]

Billy had literally big brained the whole competition.

He’s won 3 flags, got to play with his brother, signed a near on $5M contract to close out his career and not a bruise or post career injury to show for it.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

It's staggering to think how big a chunk of their cap Hill, Crouch and Hanneberry are occupying while delivering functionally nothing.

 

[se17enteen]

10 touches and ZERO tackles. Unbelievable.

I mean if we could actually get him back on a cheap contract for low draft capital....

F*** that. It's actually funny watching him run around and not care about the jumper he plays in. He's like the embodiment of that club and the 20 other rejects there that Saints have picked over the last couple of years.

I think Saints are a good case study for why trading is risky. Some of those blokes just don't seem to GAF.

Why would anyone give a s**t about playing in that abomination of a jumper?

Agree with this. They were floundering in bottom 6 obscurity at the end of 2019 then all of a sudden traded out a heap or good picks to do what? Finish 6th last year? Still a long way from the summit and now sliding back towards obscurity with all their mercenaries.
We used to do s**t like that but thankfully now it’s draft draft draft more or less (Hogan being the one painful exception).

 

[Halfbaked]

Serious question, I wonder how much of his contract was front loaded? Was it a 4 or 5 year deal?
