The hill you chose to die on

[Grantysghost]

Treloar down back has all the hallmarks of when Bevo put Boyd down back.

I can see this happening and hopefully because Sanders and Co demand a spot in the middle!

Interesting.

Hadn't thought of this, he did play some half back didn't he.

I'd probably prefer him to stay in the guts

What skills do you see Treloar having that Boyd also had?

For me it’s only the fact they’re both high possession winners.

[Uninformed]

I’m far too pragmatic to have ever died on a hill BT. But Treloar to spend time back might be my first. No one validate this by checking my posting history - never said anything like McMahon could win a Brownlow I’m sure.

Here. Have my hill.

Andrew McDougall can be the answer to our lack of a key forward.
And Pat Veszpremi Is a great pickup who will be an excellent small forward option.

Not exactly hills I died on, but certainly an irrational belief in talent that never came to fruition.

End of 2021 rested on Josh Bruces ACL - If he didn't do it, we would of finished top 4 and won the whole thing.

Different players, but Treloar can win contests, is strong tackling, runs and kicks long. He has plenty of attributes to play modern day half back. I actually think he’d be more effective than Boyd was. Yeah I said it.

Yeah I think you are right. The game today demands more skill from defenders, which Treloar has over Boyd.

It also demands that defenders defend, which is not Treloar's forte,

This might be an unpopular Hill.

Naughty is best suited as a key forward and should stay there.

Prior to his knee injury last year, had him as a clear all-Australian selection, with Jessie Hogan and rated as the best key forward in the game.

Luke Penny

Luke Penny and Cam Wight were the two that came to mind for me. But I'm not sure I died on those hills, I was just disappointed they weren't better.

The worst hill I've ever seen is my brother, a saints fan, who said for 3-4 years that Jack Bytel was going to be a Brownlow medallist. I think he's just been delisted by his second club.

[SonofScray]

Paul Dooley was going to be the next boy from the west club legend in the same vein as a Bubba or Johnno.

granted I was too young to be dying on any hills at that point.

Tom Williams was a future Captain and AA key defender. I sat next to Tom on a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne during the off-season following his debut year, and I was certain that once he overcame his foot injury, we had the next Chris Grant waiting to tear the game apart. Unfortunately Tom's body was made of tissue paper.

After smashing Buddy in Tassie it was a reasonable hill that I reckon a few were on.

Nothing wrong with that hill - based on ability, I think you were probably right!

It's probably a good thread...whose career could have been something bigger if they got a clean run at it?
