Everitt & Hill

Re: Everitt & Hill

Agree with everything you have said, at the moment. I think he could improve and become a master of a role or two if given a consistent go at it and become a very valuable utility. Attitudes can develop as players/people get older. If we do decide to move him on, how about Waite as a trade? Could be a good HBF to free Gilbee and avoid Murphy having to go back, go forward or play CHB as a back up for Williams

Waite would be brilliant, but Carlton would want more than Everitt + our first rounder for him and I doubt we'd part with that.

Re: Everitt & Hill

I've never heard this story, when was this?

A month or so ago... can't recall the opposition (Freo, maybe?) At one point Hill, in his usual laconic fashion, dropped a sitter of a mark. After heading to the bench, Aker made a beeline for him, and tore him a new one, with the aforementioned "Don't be a B-grader!" blast. According to the radio commentary team, Murphy had to "console" Hill, such was the effect of Aker's choice words.

I dont mind that from Aker, shows how much it means to him and the impact he wants to have on the place.

Agreed, and I said as much at the time. Hill needed to be told.

Re: Everitt & Hill

A fit and in form firing Hill would have presented some options last night. He can jump and have a decent leap at a footy, something we definitely missed last night.

However whether he can stand up and deliver that at crucial times under enormous pressure is the big question.

Last night was exactly the kind of game where Hill goes missing.

Agree. But something that he has to improve if wants to stay on our list.
