Stephen Hill

[Hodgepodge]

To think he wasn't even figuring as a first round pick before the draft camp. Could've been a real bargain for some lucky team

This out to shut Gosich up. He's been on SEN commentating Fremantle games and going on about how Fremantle stuffed up taking Hill over Rich after just one Stephen Hill game. What a short-sighted analysis that was. Particularly when Rich was always going to start stronger.

Having said that, Hill will pip him for Rising Star honours if he continues this form.

 

[peppy la pew]

His 1%ers with taps into his own path, into a team mate's path... are just phenomenal.

Not to mention the defensive spoils on the monster forward.

Hey let's not get too carried away just yet. Hill still has a way to go before he can be compared to Dal Santo and Ball.

I know. I was feeling a little delirious last night. I haven't been this excited about a Freo player in years

He's a nuffy. Very biased towards anything that comes out of Subiaco. He has been pretty quiet in the last fortnight

Gossage was also Colts coach at Subiaco I thought. If so Rich has done very well to overcome that handicap.

Having said that, he looks a great prospect. He has good pace, skills and composure. I think the Dockers have finally got a draft pick right for a change.

we normally go well with draft picks - we have just traded them away for duds by and large.

 

[chrisjie]

What a ****ing goal. This kid is brilliant.

 

[amer]

Freaking love the kid! What a goal!!

He has played an absolute RIPPER today against the best, toughest side in the comp.

Standing up to the pressure in a big, big way.

GEM!!!!

 

[Winner]

BRILLIANT goal, pumped for the dockers!

 

[Hollow Knight]

Gamebreaking goal.

What a little jet.

 

[The_Eagles]

Seriously, how good is the 2008 draft?

 

[jimmy35]

Sublime

 

[The Zebra]

As soon as he got it, you knew it was a goal....kicking from outside 50 at a crucial time.

Not sure there are many first year kids I would have ever said that about.

Looks like he will be a gun.

 

[Jeremias]

He's a gun.

Was my most wanted @ pick 6 for Carlton on draft day.

Will be an outstanding player.

 

[CrazyQ]

Most impressive midfielder in the draft.

 

[crowsarethebest]

Can anyone explain the goal/load up some footage of the goal? Didn't see it but from the excitement in this thread it seems the goal was better than pr0n.

 

[TylerDurden]

Superstar..

 

[pauljam]

Unbelieveable goal for a first year player, under pressure right on boundary on fifty and slots it with ease. This kid will be an absolute gun with more games under his belt. Freo got a gem there!
As another poster said - what a draft, so many great young players - great for the game!

 

[mitchzz]

He's very exciting, isn't he?

 

[Zvim]

Does anyone still doubt his potential?

Gun of the highest order in the making. Improving every quarter.

Helped set up and score numerous goals for us today.

He is a bit too hot and cold for my liking, he has time to develop and mature but I would want to see less variance between his good and bad games.

Please tell me my sarcasm meter is not working


12 games of afl and this is the feedback you give

 

[PopShot]

Much better player than Rich.

 

[Renuo]

He played very well, nearly gave me a stroke when he kicked that goal at the end of the 3rd. He's developing well, something for now and more in the future for Freo.

 

[TheStinger]

I have yet to see him play well with a tight marker on him or when he has to work defensively, as in not be the quarterback but actual defensive work. He disappears too much for too long.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Much better player than Rich.

Who said anything about Rich?

There seems to be a little pocket of North supporters with a massive chip on their shoulder about the short-armed boy wonder. Its weird, its not like North had the option of choosing him, so there is no need to feel insecure. Ziebell is a human wrecking ball that can kick off both feet. North did good.

Regardless Rich is better now, Hill has the potential to be a superfreak though. He is raw as hell, but when he strings all his assets together, he's going to be a force of nature.
