There is nothing to forgive.
Certainly not Hilton's fault that when he was drafted and came to a rabble of a club that was poorly coached.
Certainly wasnt his fault when he and torney dominated the ressies midfield week in week out that they werent selected.
Certainly not his fault that he put his body on the line and had his shoulder ripped apart. Or the series of knee injuries.
One thing I will say about Hilton, for as long as I have watched him, I have never seen him once go at the footy half heartedly.
He has been great this year. If he were to have a big preseason, who knows, he just may live up to that no 3. draft pick.
At present, he is certainly in our top 12 players. I like him in a forward pocket because of his accountability, his ability to lead and his strength overhead. Very hard player to match up on. The fact that he can play a very good role in defense when we have no one else that can is a big bonus.

As well as he is playing, I just can't forgive the previous six seasons. I don't think a couple of good games is enough to make up for being half-hearted for the bulk of his career.
