Josh Hill

Re: Josh Hill

When he plays in his more natural position as a winger we will see an even better footballer. At the moment I think he is doing a very good job given he is being played out of position.

Exactly.

I have criticised Hill a fair bit during his short career but one thing I won't have a go at him is his shortcomings when it comes to playing as a deep forward. It isn't his natural position and he is punching well above his weight most of the time there. He could become anything as a wing/HF type. I was very pleased with his performance tonight.

Re: Josh Hill

I thought he was used well tonight, leading high up the ground then using his speed/tank to burn off his opponent and take marks on the overlap.

It's not far away from clicking with Josh, I feel, and with a big pre-season and some added bulk we could be in for some exciting times next year.

Yep, Eade & co. were fantastic with their use of Hill tonight. Worked well with Johnno a couple of times.

Re: Josh Hill

I thought he was very good and worked very hard tonight. Just needs a bit more size so he's not knocked off the ball so easily.

Re: Josh Hill

Much improved performances over the last 3 or 4 weeks. Going back to the St.Kilda game he copped a spray from Aker (a guy he obviously admires & resepcts) and he has turned the corner in terms of his effort & application.

Still gets knocked off the ball, but with a bit more strength he is going to develop into a very good player.

Re: Josh Hill

Gee he'd be great delivering into the f50. Some of his assists in the past few games have been great.

Re: Josh Hill

Josh is now past the "will he or wont he get a game player" he is now established as a senior player who will get picked every week.

Re: Josh Hill

Very good game. 3 goals, a couple of assists, ~20 touches and he ran to make tackles & harrass the opposition backmen. Can't really ask for too much more.

Yep, my thoughts as well. I see him as a free running winger, in the elk of Robbie Flower. Yeah, I know I'm old!

Re: Josh Hill

Peoples thoughts on his game tonight?

13 disposals, 3 marks, 2 goals & 10 tackles.

Re: Josh Hill

My Thoughts aren't that good, I still think he shirks the issue when it's needed. At one stage in the game he needed to put his head over the ball and didn't and he is to easily pushed aside. I'd be surprised if he gets a game next week.

His stats are better than I thought they would be.

But he doesn't go in hard often enough or put his head over the ball often enough ATM. Fix this part of his game and he'll be alright.

Would like to know how many hard ball gets.
Agree with Hotdog60, he takes his eye off the ball and lifts his head.

Re: Josh Hill

Too many times he gets pushed out of the contest and it's an easy ball to Melbourne. Like other posters have said needs to harden up.

And to make this worse it was Trengrove a first year player.
