    It's a good question. He's been limited because of his inability to play well enough up forward and I'm not sure this won't be an issue for him again next season. He should be penciled in as the number one ruckman but it may not pan out that way.

        His tackling with Willi last week was fierce. He seemed like a different footballer....playing as if he wanted physical contact. If he takes that intensity into the seniors and doesn't let little things get him down, he will be a great addition to our side. I wonder if it's all in the head with Josh....hopefully we can discover the trick to getting the best out of him, and getting his confidence up....because on last week's effort, there's certainly a footballer there.

          We do get the point Hughy - you don't rate Hill.

            He was certainly a spirited competitor last week.

              Could have said the same thing about Gilbee under Rohde.

                  Yep, deserves his chance.

                    I would have picked him this week too, he played well last week and deserves his chance.

                    I'd rather play Hill who has talent, rather than a player like Reid who has a red hot crack but isn't an AFL footballer.

                      I think there is more upside in giving Hill a chance than letting him rot at Willy. The unfortunate byproduct is Howard goes out.

                      Hill can play, we all know that and last week he was very switched on but he will never be a rugged player.

                        Agree - Reid is just not going to cut it I am afraid.

                          are you for f@#$ing real "hill deserves a chance" i think he has had his chance in the last few years.
                          It doesn't matter if he kicks 10 goals and 40 posessions this saturday he is not consistant.
                          Sorry he had his chance and didn't take it, it makes me sick to see stack,reid,addison emergencies and hill in.

                            how do you know he is not an afl footballer he has not had chance, unlike hill he has had plenty of chances and proven he is not an afl footballer

                              I've watched him play... A lot. He's about 15cm too short to play AFL, he moves and kicks like a ruckman but is the height of a midfielder.
