Brad Hill

[Forey Johnson]

Was watching the news earlier in the week and saw that Hillys brother is old enough for the draft this year.

Was wondering if anyone has seen him play, and if hes good.

could he be a draft target that Harves has a look at?

 

[Sman-21]

Will be a target for every club
Its just a matter of who is willing to use the highest pick.

 

[tacopavlich]

what kind of player is he? is he similar to our hill?

 

[Belnakor]

has similiar weapons but also likes a bit of niggle

 

[Moo]

From the stats does not win a heap of it.

West Perth colts have a pretty good midfield this year, would think a few players from Wests will be under the microscope (including Hill)

 

[Nickos66]

Sounds like a similar player to our Hill, the test will be the under 18 state comp & draft combine testing.

doesnt appear to have the electric 5 meter burst of speed that stephen does, would need to see more of him though

 

[Notorious_29]

Looked a little shorter as well, most of the highlights were around the goals, so possibly a forward flanker, who runs through the midfield as well. Definitely had a nice kick on him.

 

[dominguez]

Haven't seen enough of him to comment on whether we should draft him or not but it'll be disappointing if he ends up in blue and yellow.

Had 20 possessions including 19 kicks, 6 tackles, 3 I50's and 1 goal today. West Perth won by a point despite having over 100 posessions more than the Tigers. Shane Nelson with 43 posessions.

Freo's Hill brothers. Has a ring to it.

Is that Craig Nelson's kid?

No idea who Craig Nelson is!

Anyone recall if Andrew Lockyer's son is eligible for either WC or us? I presume he played more games with West Coast than Easts.

There is a Carter playing well in the colts who could be the offspring of a Carter that played the 150+ games for Souths I think it was and hence if it is that Carter's son, he qualifies for us for F/S.

Craig Nelson was a West Perth ruckman. Really solid and agile, just not quite tall enough to go to the vfl.

Article on Brad Hill

"He has great endurance and speed and will test beautifully at the combine," Wira said.

"He played a month of great football during the under-18s and there was a lot to like about his performance in the critical match against Vic Metro.

"I think he is sure to get drafted because everyone knows what Stephen Hill can do and who would want to risk not "

seen a bit more of him since my last post, and i would be happy to have him on the list, probably with a pick in the 40's/50's...... imagine having a hill on each wing dominating.... enough to make me have to change my undies

 

[yakka man]

Will be an interesting sub plot in the draft. His name will carry weight and wonder if he will be available at any of our selections and whether we would choose him just for the sake of having two Hill's in the team.

history says we dont do that, we had a look at both heath black's and antoni grover's brother and passed both times, having said that, every club passed on those boys.... i think harves would be very tempted to get another hill on board, given the work rate and commitment of stephen, it wont be with our first pick though

 

[Nickos66]

If you ask some on here - we love skinny flankers so he's a chance.

 

[Notorious_29]

God I hope the Eagles don't get him, anyone else.

Was waiting for that.

Fair comment though, based on recent history.

 

[chinggis77]

I reckon he has a tonne of potential. Skinnier than his brother. Its amazing what a few years in the gym can do to a kids confidence on the field/abilities.
