Toast Josh Hill - was that his best AFL game?

[swannies]

Was talking to a colleague at work today, who thought that this was Josh Hill's best game in the AFL.

I thought he was exceptional, and it got me to thinking, maybe he was right, could that be his best game ever? Any supporters can buy into this one.

Either way, massive kudos to him because I thought he was the one that wanted it badly all night and kept us in the game so Nic Nat could tantalise and excite us.

I was critical of his work rate last week but thought he was very, very good this week. Happy to have been proven wrong.

 

[BigBirdz]

He worked his arse off all night and it all came together for him in the last qrt. Great game

He played excellently (something I haven't seen much of this year) against North. Like you said he really wanted the game on Friday and I was surprised at his strength. He held off the defenders with ease in one on one marking contests like the one where he missed it from 20 metres out but it was great core strength which unfortunately led to a point in the end but anyways I would say it was definitely his best game.

 

[Marlin01]

This is an interesting development.

 

[Tubzy]

Must be tough for doggies fans..

He kept us in it all night for sure.

 

[JackOutback]

Took two great marks, using his body to keep his opponent out of the contest, then took the ball while turning. Can't remember if both equalled goals or not, but they were exceptional efforts.

wtf 2 * swannies! Lord help us.

On topic it was probably his best game for WCE outside of the nab cup final against the crows when he was the only one who showed up to play.

don't worry I'm the better younger swannies

 

[WCErevival]

His game last year against Norf was probably better. 15d, 7marks, 4 tackles, kicked 4.1 plus a goal assist. Although for him to step up in the last quarter for us on Friday really stood out.

dw?

I guess it could be worse we could have two alfies on this board .

 

[Quinz]

All season his work in the forward line has been great IMO. Much more obvious if you're at the game and see his work off the ball. Can't remember which game it was, round 2 or 4 I said in the last quarter that he was close to our best player, looked up the stats and he only had a handful of possessions. Doesn't need to kick bags every week, but that always helps!

Close to the furthest player on our team from being dropped. Serious.

 

[lewigie]

His last two marks were borderline impossible. His opponent basically had him in a bearhug in both contests and he somehow still found a way.

Missed the second one though and I was ropeable.

I heard you enjoyed the Swans vs East Perth match more than the eagles.

 

[WCEprod]

I think he's past his prime. He couldn't do this these days

 

[Keys]

Let himself down a little when he missed that last shot at goal but hat was about his only blemish. His contested marking was outstanding

Looks like he made the swannies family proud!

Reckon Hill would look good in the black and white?

 

[QS]

I think Hilly is one that does a lot of work off the ball, he always seems to get himself in good positions. His marking is sublime, and he's generally a pretty decent shot at goal. Showed more on Friday night than his whole tenure at the Doggies!

WTF is going on here?

Felt much the same.

Basically, it wasn't necessarily his biggest statistical impact, but the intangibles were just immense. It was the biggest knock on him that he went missing when the game was in the balance. Well, the game was in the balance and there he was, front and centre doing his damnedest to get us home.

I made the comment to my son, during the last, that Hill was the one that wanted it the most. He was running up and down on the spot on the wing in front of us, halfway through the quarter, but still got up to give a contest.

 

[WCEbrody]

He's been good all year,but it was probably a game where all the hard work payed off and he got a couple of goals. He's well and truly proven me wrong his defensive efforts and work rate this year.
