Has Brad Hill been spotted doing extra training, according to the grapevine he needs to

there was an interview on channel 7 over the weekend with Brad and Mitch Cleary. He’s been in the boxing ring numerous times a week with jarman Impey. Said he has lost 1.5kg and feeling really good. Expects to be playing along the half back line next year.

Do not want him in the half backline.

Needs to go back and dominate the wing like he used too and what we paid him to do.

Sinclair has secured one spot and i would like to see the other spot go to the likes of Connolly/Coffield etc.

To tell you the truth we don't need another halfback flanker , we are going to have Webster , Sinclair , Paton , Connolly , Coffield , Highmore , Wilkie , Howard with most probably Battle , Ross , Clark taking a spot there at times and there are only 6 spots available down there - I really feel he needs to be playing his best football where he has played it in the past and that's on a wing.

Haven’t AFL clubs been banned from boxing? Or just pad work?

I really think Battle is a very good player , has the talent and skills to be anything - he has never really been given the chance to play his true role and that is Membery's position and now with Sharman in the squad he will need to find a position that suites him.
He could well become a defender but even there we have enough players in the back half.
I really feel now his best option is to play in the midfield and use his endurance that he has , but even then we have enough players to fill the midfield. Whatever happens next year he needs to really impress in the preseason and push for the position he wants and show he is the best in the squad for that position. - injuries will have a big say where he plays next I suppose.

What happens to Battle if Sharman holds form and we get Gibsus?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Heath looks like he's dropped a heap of puppy fat.

I think he just had a haircut

 

[StCicatriz]

He looks like that sen/footy classified guy hahahaha

When Hill moved back we started winning again. I like him back there, he has something we need, class out of the backline.

Promising to hear he's lost 1.5kg. Hopefully he has his best season for us.

Looked like it was just pad work with a trainer

My info is he would want to lose a lot more than that.

 

[DarkSaint]

My info is he would want to lose a lot more than that.

Did look like he was 4 or so Kgs overweight last season.

 

[MonsterEatsPilot]

Anybody manage to get down to training yesterday? Or today?

 

[lewdogs]

What info?

What info?

Think I saw him on My 600lb Life during the week

 

[Joffaboy]

What info?

The info that he came back under conditioned making a few of his team mates a bit unimpressed.

Interesting to hear that Hill wants to play half-back when he was recruited to play as a wingman. I wonder where does that leave Coff, Connolly etc. They can't all play as HBFs. $900k is a lot of money we spent on him to play halfback.

Should be wing or Sandy.

His skinfold test since has been with us are not close to what they were at Freo

Highest paid HBF in the comp
Should be playing wing its a joke he doesn't at 900k

But when the coach was the one pushing hard to get you, you get given a few chances

good when he has it and is attacking, not so good when he needs to defend. Leaks a few to many goals imo

So is there any real passion to win another flag after three at the Hawks and 900k at the Saints which is like a retirement fund?

Why would he have any passion for the Saints, he is a mercenary and the ONLY reason he came to us was the big pay packet.

Not saying he isn't professional, and him being willing to go on the HBF where he found form shows he is willing to do whatever is best for the team, but when the chips are down 3 points up in a GF would he be willing to put his body over the ball or hesitate for a split second?

I don't know.
