Yes, a F2 and a swap of this year first rounders 11-13. It's not much more, it'd only impact if there was a player we wanted at 11 that was gone at 13.

That's why it would be a no from me. I'm on the Goater train.

 

[Phat Toni]

I don't see it but to be fair they've seen more of him than what i have (i didn't watch the final this year, but apparently he did some good stuff).

My thoughts are he's young and was taken pretty high in the 2nd rd not that long ago....i tend to think when they're contracted that should be close to the value. He managed a decent number of games this year so injury doesn't play a factor.

They want more than an F2, i'd want something back
Will be interesting how the clubs see it. GWS are under zero pressure to trade him. We aren't super desperate for him given we have Tippa, Dev & Snelling.

too right, anyone that thinks he's worth more than a 3rd pick are dreaming. His career high of 15 disposals and career high of 3 goals all came in his very first game, he's produced significantly lower averages and is yet to top either career high in 29 games since.

We all understand small forward is a tough spot to play and he has time on his side being 21yrs of age but he hasn't shown enough to justify over paying.

Don’t think GWS would listen to any offers that doesn’t involve our F2. Based on his output since being drafted I’d hope for a F4 coming back but given he’s contracted and they’re under no pressure to trade him it might be a straight swap. Depends how much we rate him.

 

[Desync]

I know he's contracted but from what I have digged up I don't really see anything worth more than a 3rd even with him being contracted, I'd rather pass. Still young though and I get where GWS are coming from since they put in all the ground work on him and everyone keeps coming in a picking their list apart, Must be frustraiting.

completely agree
Wouldn't be unhappy with F2 for Hill + F4.

Plenty of 3rd party options out there to facilitate some sort of deal. GWS linked to Lobb & it seems Wingard too.
So hawks and freo could also get involved here.

 

[TheGrizz]

If GWS are going for Wingard and Lobb, i wonder if we can get Hill for cheap by taking on another salary like Adam Kennedy

Not sure Kennedy is in the right age bracket for us, especially considering list spots are still very tight.

Would be happy if Riccardi was included in the deal

We'll want to pay a F3.
GWS will want our F2.

It will fall somewhere in the middle. Something like:
- Trade our F2, and get late picks back for points next year.
- Or trade our F1, get back a 2nd this year and late picks for points next year.

 

[Snake Charmer]

If we didn’t just sign Kelly, maybe

 

[ghostdog]

Hasn't he resigned?

 

[doug85]

If Hill’s performance has been as underwhelming as everyone seems to think, there’s no way he goes for a second rounder. Even GWS couldn’t seriously be after that much if he’s been so average.

 

[Lore]

Hasn't he re-signed?

yes

stats don't really inflate his value, but small forwards aren't all about the stats...
For anyone who has seen enough of him, i'd be keen to know what glimpses he's shown.

Stengle nominating Geelong according to Marc McGowan

Search up his goal from the Semi Final against Geelong and some of his other highlights.

I haven't watched him that closely but from what I have seen he has good skills and is very clean with the ball.

Not really sure why he goes missing and whether that is more to do with the GWS forward structure and having a gun like Toby Greene in the same team.

 

[andleanback]

I think essendons style of play will also suit hill way more than the way the giants have played over the past couple of years.

 

[eth-dog]

Stengle nominating Geelong according to Marc McGowan

Not surprising.

 

[Lore]

 

[TDay]

Happy enough handing over a F2 for Hill if some late draft points are coming back.
All going well, that F2 would be gobbled up for Davey boys points anyway right?
Future points -> Hill and slightly less future points, sounds good to me
But we should keep 11 no matter what.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

No doubt Jackets cooked up the 'compassionate' story. Not saying it is not at least partially true.

 

[BrunoV]

Of course this has been in the pipeline.

The scenario complete bullshit. If he wants to be released to come to Vic on compassionate grounds he should be open to going to 10 clubs.

I agree with Cornes. I would not let him leave.

Er, well his Vic-based girlfriend is pregnant. Not sure how Dodoro engineered that one but I suppose it's possible

 

[eth-dog]

She's apparently from WA too.

 

[Nifft]

We were having a perfectly nice calm trade week, and then Dodoro decides to turn up...
