None I would say. Played limited minutes last week as far as I know.
He's played half a game in almost 12 months so I'd guess they'd want 2-3 games into him at least first.
It’s easy enough to search (on the same website) what Hill did each game in 2010 and 2011. I’ll give you the tip - he wasn’t completely blanketed as much as you believe.
Outside of that I’m not sure what stats I can give you. He sure got blanketed a hand full of times and badly but it was no more than that. He was completely over the problem by his 4th season in the league.

Hilly never learnt to break a tag. That’s why he got moved off the wing to on ball / half back by Rosco. Became a much more consistent contributor after that.

I just checked and he actually had a good game in Round 4 2010 against the saints with 20 disposals and 2 goals. The next game against the saints he had 13 with no goals. So maybe Ross was taking a bit of license claiming to be the first one to tag Hill as the swans held him to 7 disposals and no goals a few rounds earlier.
He was tagged out of the game completely half a dozen times in 2010 and 2011 and tagged enough that the tagger broke even probably 50/50 the other games he was tagged. And I admit he was not tagged every game.
He hit the wall after whoever was coaching North (Laidley?) gave one of the Rawlings strict instructions to dry hump Stephen all game. After being violated in the game, Stephen then had to go through it in the media after Lethal Leigh decided to publicly question his mental fortitude. Trash by Lethal.

Just because Lethal went the simplistic 'He's soft' analysis (seriously is there worse quadruple premiership winning coach than Matthews? He is as dumb a bag of hammers.) doesn't mean Hill didn't have a problem. He didn't have the tank to burn off a tagger, nor the strength to take them inside and lose them. In the end shifting position to ones where he had to get rather than receive the ball was the only option.

Jesus you just brought up some repressed memories for me in that game. Rawlings got away with all the stuff that Crowley was constantly accused of.

It's nice to hear that we're actually building a rookie slowly for once, not rushing him into the AFL, just letting him build his fitness, he's gonna be ******* great to watch when he finally debuts.

Who needs the wafl. We have been blooding guys all over the place.
He is very slight, and I believe they are trying to build his calves up 20% stronger than everyone else to compensate.
You mean to say - he is already being Weberred - Uh oh

Nooo......, don’t even jest!
Hmmm... Not sure, but I believe this is what he needs to get to before he can break into the team.

Ive watched him mucking around playing backyard basketball and shooting a few hoops a year or two ago and I was gobsmacked by his skills which you simply cannot teach. It was mesmerising,he had the ball by a string. He’s going to be awesome. Can’t wait to see him out there in the purple

I bought a Weber on the weekend. Cooked the meat perfectly which just tore apart easily with the slightest effort first time, every time.
