Recommitted Stephen Hill [re-signed for two more years]

[M Malice]

Been reported that the Suns are interested in him, maybe he'd prefer to come to the Lions, we certainly look like having the better next few years.

If he is free of injury concerns I'd be for offering him a 2 year deal with a trigger clause for a 3rd, provides outside run/pace which is the type of player we are in need of.

Gold Coast have set their sights on mature-aged free agent Stephen Hill as a potential option to add pace and experience to their midfield, as the 28-year-old moves closer to a senior return with the Dockers.

 

[MrDanggazz]

No chance. (knowing my luck this will make me look like an idiot)

No way he will leave Perth. Brad is there now as well. Not just going to up and leave a year after his brother joins him, unless forced out.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Won't leave.

 

[DangerSloane]

Weird to see him on this board. Wouldn't think he'd be going anywhere.

How is he btw?
What role is he going to play Freo peeps?

He will play across half back with stints on the ball (probably swap out with Blakely). Is actually a better contested player than his reputation for being outside would suggest.

 

[kreglze]

Wouldn't expect him to come to the Suns, but worth asking the question of anyone that can improve on the options we already have.

 

[KermitJagger]

If it was a few years ago, there'd be a lot of interest.

Bordering on 30 and having calf troubles wouldn't fill chasing clubs with confidence. Can't see him leaving Perth.

 

[DangerSloane]

Tough return for him on the weekend.

Will take him a few games to get back to standard, but he's coming good at the right time of the year for Freo if they can make the 8.

 

[Vindicater]

Wont go anywhere unless pushed

 

[Joao]

Ross loves him, he won't be pushed.

 

[democritus]

Can't see it happening, would have to be a godfather offer.

Stephen is a very reserved guy who by all accounts is very family orientated. He's playing with his brother, in his home state for a team that looks to be on the rise and would be on decent coin.

What if his brother wants to leave, as is being reported?

 

[Unique Name]

Worth a packet of atomic tomato. Which are my favourite chips.

No team is going to risk paying biggish dollars to lure him. His body is failing him.

 

[maccamk]

what compo do you think Freo would get?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Serious chance of being as good a pick up for the Suns as Nick Malceski.

 

[TheSunGod]

Too risky. Reeks of desperation by the Suns if true. Doesn’t fit the age profile of our list.

 

[Peel67skin]

what compo do you think Freo would get?

30 years old next year, maybe 3rd pick. Mayne is 27 and get 2nd Rd pick, beams is under contract not unrestricted free agent.

 

[Scotland]

13 games last year, one this year and he went off injured. Seems an odd target for a young side. Not like freo would be pushing him out either.

Bs story leaked to the media to get a three year contract instead of a two year.

That didn’t work, then came the Brad Hill bs story.

Colin Young special

 

[TylerDurden]

He's going to GC yeah? His missus from there?

Is it?

 

[Freomaniac]

i doubt he will leave

 

[Joao]

If the offered contracts are only netting us a 3rd rounder or less I 100% hope we match the deal. Too good of a player to let go for nothing if he isn't asking much.
