Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
i like hill, but for a top 10 pick, god no. Reminds me of a rich-mans danyle pearce.
Would like him at 18, provided swift isn't available.
With the future in doubt for egan and the lack of a dominant KPF, i hope like hell geelong go for a KPP at 15, and melbourne get a ruckman at 17. Really want swift. Rich like potential at a fraction of the cost.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
i am hoping a bit of a smokey goes top 10. Will really shake things up and should ensure oen of Sidebottom or Swift can slip to Collingwood.
1 pick could completely stir the pot. Could see someone who was ranked a top 5 pick slip to pick 10+. If Port dont take Vickery, he may slip to pick 8 at Richmond, i know they are keen.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
That just sounds weird to me. He may hate the club because he's a massive Eagles supporter but would they really not select him over that?
Laycock despised Essendon pre-draft and wanted to get drafted by any club other than them.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
If that's the case, he wouldn't be the only one to make such a statement. Several other WA players have suggested that they would prefer NOT to be drafted by Freo.
Please don't interpret that as an attack on Freo; not my style. Just reporting what Ive been told on good authority.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
There is no doubt in my mind that a large portion of WA youngsters would rather go to the Eagles, but surely if Rich has a choice of Port or Freo he would prefer us

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
That isn't being disputed, of course most will just be happy to get a go.
However, the difference between your examples and Daniel Rich is that McKinley and Pavlich were not from WA. It's somewhat concerning when a WA boy doesn't want to be drafted by a WA club.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
I wasnt specifically referring to Rich, rather the concept of WA boys wanting to moving over east over playing for Freo. I know of 2 others WA boys who have said similar things.

I know Myers didn't want to play for Freo. There was an article on it earlier this season. Worked out for both teams.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
Yeah, Myers preffered to go about his business in a town where the focus was on Kruezer, Cotchin ect rather than be the high profile pick in a 2 team town.
He's just going to go about it quietly and discreetly then one day all of a sudden pop up and be one of the best players in the league

You have always been a big fan of his.
He is very highly thought of within Essendon.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
I think it's not only his on-field ability; he's a great kid/young man.
Also like the way he plays his footy. I knew he was something special when he was an on field leader in WAFL league as a 17 year old.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
Who compared him to Peter Matera? Whoever did that is crazy.
Personally I like the Steven Koops comparison better.

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
Yeah I don't see that comparison either. Hill (seems to) play like he's on speed - action action action, sometimes tending to be a bit raggedy. Matera was anything but ragged, very neat & composed.

Where'd you pull that nugget of bulldust from?

Re: Essendon set to swoop on Stephen Hill at #5
Is this going from the Vic Metro game?... because that was the exception rather than the norm with Hill.
Although these type of comparisons always look very farfetched and lofty, I don't think the Matera comparison is too bad ... but as with all young players he'll make his own way.
