Hill has shown some freakish abilities to crumb or gather a ground ball, he just has to do it on a more regular basis.

Jurrah has better goal sense than Hill-and you know I'm a big Hill fan.

My gut feel on Jurrah is that he might struggle next season.

One player I would have been very happy to draft is Jackson Trengove who's been on Ports list for 12 months. As a junior for the Cannons he had the ability to play in all key positions. He has a few problems with injuries but he would be a low priced player I'd been keen to get if we could.

Our recruiters were very keen on him as well and were hoping that he would slide to one of our 2nd rd picks last year.

Yep, but they will end up playing very different roles. I still think that if they both played deep forward their output in terms of goals would be pretty similiar.

On the logic of the OP then Jurrah would probably be my choice. There's a number of young players (Otten, Dangerfield, Yarran etc.) I'd rather but Jurrah would probably be more realistic in terms of this price range.

He's a bit like Hill in the air but can crumb the ball better.

Hes worth more than $190K to melbourne on marketing alone.

Agree with both posts. Jurrah is probably a little cleaner by foot and can kick them from anywhere. Hill's better at the marking/set shot although as Mantis pointed out - he's shown he's got the ability to pick up a ground ball in one motion. He struggles to kick on/from angles though which is what he needs to work on.

Hill is better suited to a wing though where he can use his tank, leap and creativity to advantage. He did very well to kick 30 odd goals this season but I see more value in him creating the play. A little like Murph, but higher up the ground. Jurrah should stick relatively close to goal.
