Is Hille doing to much work?

You could also ask the leviathan himself whether he would prefer to ruck most of the game or part of the game. I suspect he would be greedy. Incidentally, he has already chalked up 6 years and 100 games and is moving very nicely.

Im sure he'd know his own limitations...which is besides the point here incidently

i may get pummelled for this suggestion but i'd like to see us pick up michael gardiner in the preseason draft if he's available. would be great having gardiner and hille working in tandem, particular if laycock can't get over his injury woes.

What if he does and has a good pre-season? Gardiner would be ok I spose since he shouldn't really be in a position to ask for much money, just that a) we've only just gotten rid of all our knobs last years and b) I'd hope there are better players available in the PSD ie. a young promising midfielder

Did I, or did it need to be spelt out to you? Every coach and analyst will agree that with the way footy is going now, we wont see many players have extremely long careers (300+) SO, to expect the biggest bloke in your side to be 'run ragged' with the increased speed and intensity of each contest is ridiculous to say the least...unless you'd be willing to attend Hile's farewell game in less than 5 years time....sure! Lets burn him out as often as possible!

Crave, this was the exact point i was trying to make when starting this post. I hope he doesn't burn out in less than 5 years time but i genuinely fear he will. A guy his size moving as well as he did the other night is a fantastic sight for this football club. Our future success is heavily reliant on it. But if he keeps rucking all game, all season by himself the way he did the other night....hmmmm. He needs some help.

Definitely with you on this one

Apparently Gardiner played pretty well- we could end up with Akermanis and Gardiner. Perish the thought.

As am I.

Anyone who disagrees is certainly entitled to their opinion, but clearly dont understand much about playing football and/or have never rucked a game. Simple as that.

Sure he can probably put up with rucking 80% of matches this year, while he's still fairly young, but the longer he does it, the shorter his career will get.
