Hille - tradebait?

[Pevers-Legend]

Now I know ruckmen take a long time to mature and come good but sometimes we need to face hard facts.

Hille is a nancy boy - his efforts are soft and lack heart. He can't ruck, he has shown no signs of improvement. He continually gets thrashed in the ruck. I think it is time we dropped him and took a punt on Cartledge or Layc ock or Bradley. Hille has as Sheedy put it - done his apprenticeship and has gone backwards.

I just see a waste of telant running around like a grandpa (and he does run like an old man - watch him).

We got smashed in the middle when he was rucking - and that was when the rot set in. I guess my patience is running thin with him because I saw a player with heaps of talent -but his ruckwork was gutless on the weekend, and he showed no signs of intelligence by trying different things.

Oh and you can throw Henneman into the tradebait list as well. Maybe we can give WC those two as KPP and take maybe Embley off their hands. wouldn't that be nice.

Henneman should be trade bait but Sheedy loves him and is the only one who thinks he can play.

Hille- no. Allan has taken his ruck spot and his confidence has suffered. He needs time up forward (e.g. CHF) to get game time and help Allan out.

I agree with Pevers. The game was lost or at least swung when Hille went into the ruck. This was supposed to be his year, yet it seems he has gone backwards. We need a ruckman maybe Brad Ottens might be interested coming over for Henneman and Hille.

Your kidding right.

Gone backwards more like carrying an injury, and besides he's still young and learning rember that.

ffs we've done all the hard work (did u see HIlles first few years) and he'll only get better makes NO sense to trade him.

As for Heneman he has **** all value so only if we increased his value would he be traded. and to do that he'd need to play good footy which is the problem now.

I'm seeing a pattern developing with Hille in that he goes alright when he is the MAN, ie early 2002, 2003. But goes back into his shell when there is an older, more experienced ruck taking the #1 spot. It would be interesting to see how he would go if Allan went down with a long term injury.

Hille has always been a favorite of mine but even i am getting frustrated at the way he is playing like a total pussy.

I think a serious question must linger over his fitness.....maybe an injury of some sort....not providing an excuse for him because if its bad then he shouldnt be playing.....but he just does not look a shadow of the player we saw last year.
Was just watching the Fremantle final and the Brisbane win late last year on sunday (to cheer myself up)....and Hille was awesome grabbing the ball out of the ruck and slamming it foward and just taking big grabs and all that stuff big men should be doing.....he is an important player IMO I dont think he should be considered for trade.

as4 Henno.....still waiting for him to provide any sort of impact on a game.....and I think I could be waiting for a long time.
