Brad Hill should be copping it from everywhere if he isnt. Highest paid player, gave up a top 10 pick for him and theres probably 20 half back flankers or wingers that you would take before him.

He was good in Fremantle, was bottom tier at Hawthorn which allowed him to thrive, but he has been nonexistent at St Kilda since he got there and doesnt even use the ball the way he used to. Now he has poor skills and goes short/sideways with nearly every kick. He was brought in as a linebreaker.

Comes into my watering hole sometimes , a very nice bloke.

I think there's more to it than just injuries.

Maybe but we’re not all saints

"The AFL integrity unit, which was investigating the behaviour ... has informed the complainants of Patton's decision to retire," an AFL statement said.

Forced to retire?

 

[Jewelsbon]

That’s shithouse

Injuries have got the better of him

This is a subject I actually do know something about and his retirement has VERY little to do with his injuries.

Shafted 2 clubs tho, most footballers are very nice off the field.

Yer he got canceled.

NOT ALWAYS

 

[bedford]

Really enjoyed St Scum getting smashed

 

[Punts]

My bad , career rise then the injury’s haven’t been on his side

 

[The Gong]

That doesn't work as a blanket statement.

Didn't even have a chance to develop before multiple ACL injuries.

I wouldn't say "shafted". As I understand it he was happy in Perth and wanted to stay. His partner wanted to be in Victoria. Unfortunate situation but I don't think anyone was in the wrong and all involved would've been happy with the outcome. (Though I'm sure St Kilda would be expecting more bang for their buck so far.)

Shin splints same issue that Jetta had.

Pies surely a chance now with all the outs.

 

[Punts]

Hate seeing injuries , know some like seeing hanners , Jones
etc not playing for there new clubs but imo it’s just shit seeing players/people injured and taking tolls mentally etc

As you know i never liked Jones so couldn't give a stuff , sad for Hanners though

I hope not, happy for Eddie to have to fume as the Pies sink further and further, and people keep criticising them to his face on TV. He threw in a quick 'we don't cheat, we don't have COLA' as a excuse when arguing with McClure over the Pies recent list management. Go Eagles.

Wtf damn the guy sure is bitter and twisted.

 

[Jawdon Dorson]

3 key forward number 1 draft picks in 4 years Patton, Boyd and McCartin not having much success for different reasons, have to go back to Riewolt in 2000 as a genuine gun for a number 1 pick

1 of those deserved a NS for the only good game of his career

 

[Olian]

My bad , career rise then the injury’s haven’t been on his side

3 ACL’s stifled his career. Last year he was on the bench after another soft tissue issue injury in tears.

His off field indiscretions are another matter but his body failed him. Which is a shame because he could play?

Every now and then when I hear he has voiced another opinion I just replay the blubbering resignation video over and over again.

Sooo... looking at what Brad Hill went through on social media I reckon we have to be one of the most tamest supporter bases in the AFL lol. Some Saints fans going for the throat... ooft not very nice. Guess this is what happens when you promise premiership contention to the fans yet fall way short.

Going by the St Kilda official twitter it must have been fairly personal (although I did smile at one comment);
