Wants to come back to Melbourne, my memory of him is that he is good lead up forward and decent kick.
Should we consider him and what would he cost? What do the gurus of woof think?

Ok not sure about thread worthiness however footy wise i think he is worth considering.
89 goals for 40 odd games inc 42 in 2008 when he was a rising star nominee.
Granted he aint tall and had a bad 2010. He may be one of those in between types eg Tyson Lame.
He would need to strengthen the defensive side to his game, but if Hill wanted to go back to WA a straight swap for Ben or Rosa would be alright IMO. But I would prefer Hill to stay.
The curse is dead.
I agree with chef above.
Would rather have Hill stay at the club, but i wouldn't mind a swap deal.
Wouldn't want to swap Hill for him, maybe a high draft pick....

Do we really need someone like him though?
West Coast supporters say he's a good forward with little or no defensive ability. I'd rather keep Hill than exchange the two players.
Would thrive in a team that has good midfield delivery, he has smarts about when, where to lead. Worthy of a look.
I think we would all like to keep Hill, but what can you do is he wants to leave?
If a deal can be done, i don't think the club would hold Hill, especially if his heart wasn't in it here.
But if the coash has question marks about Hill's intensity maybe a change is good for both Hill and us. If McKinley (and I haven't sen him play) is any good or just as good as Hill maybe a change in environment will do them both good.
Forward line defensive pressure is good, but if someone kicks 50 or 60 goals a year I'd cut them some slack.
We need the exact opposite of McKinley in our forward line. He is slow, not overy tall and provides no defensive pressure in the forward 50. I would personally avoid at all costs.
