Player Watch Bobby “Norm” Hill

[Cousin of Daicos]

My dad has wanted this guy at Collingwood for literally the last 2-3 years. He’s absolutely pumped lol

Looking forward to see what Bobby can do in our forward line in 2023 alongside Ginny and Beau. What a trio.

Raw blistering speed whizzing around our forward line ground balls is a very exciting proposition.

Back in the 2018 draft, he’s the player I wanted!!! So so so so very happy!!! He will dazzle us!!

Let’s hope he dominates that group

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Fantastic

Welcome, Bobby.

No only has he got the wheels he's got the skills to pay the bills.

Great get.

I reckon the pies fans are going to love this kid.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Welcome, Bobby. Looking forward to seeing some of that beautiful razzle dazzle regularly across the G. Grab your chances with both hands young fella, and best of luck.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

Looks good in black and white

Why did a drunk work experience kid make that video?

Can't you remember?

Welcome to Collingwood Bobby! Really good pickup imo. Was described on draft night by Mick Ablett as the closest thing to Cyril Rioli he'd seen.

Certainly hasn't hit that sort of form thus far. But he moves like a cat, great speed, spring and agility. In previous pre seasons hasn't quite been match fit for round 1, seems to be addressing that, as he's already training down at Pulse8, where Maynard and Howe among others, spent significant time training at last off season.
Has had to deal with great adversity, and I just think he'll flourish with a fresh start, a joyful coach like Fly and part of a gameplan that really lends itself to his best attributes.

Think we'll see the best of him in this program!!!

Both 175cm small forwards with blistering pace.

First Ian for a while!!!

McMullin?
Cooper?

[Hong Kong Pie]

Yep, the sort of player who suits our style this year, rather than the measured style the Giants played.

He's a good point of difference to the forward line, if he can bring the same tackling ferocity as McCreery not many defenders are gonna enjoy playing collingwood.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I hope he's our version of Tyson Stengle.

Nah, he’s going to be our Shai Bolton!

 

[JOELY]

Exciting. Will need to pull his finger because he career so far hasn't been anything to write home about, but let's see him get involved with some of our quick transitions from defence. Get him space and with his kicking skills there's a potential weapon for us.

 

[Snakerz]

Nah, he’s going to be our Shai Bolton!

That’s what I thought when I watched his under 18’s highlights. Good get.

 

[lyfsux]

Ah so there's the reason for the delayed announcement he had to fly down from Sydney for the photo shoot first

 

[Jafo]

I’ve had some bloody good luck over the last few years with the Pies choosing players I want!

• Poulter
• Carmichael
• Kreuger
• Hill

This year, I’d like Hewett, Clarke or Cadman.

You don’t like Ashcroft? JK!!!!

 

[pablo disco bar]

Good trade


Just play him

[Lifelong Pie]

Happy to get hill but seriously, we upgraded our third round pick by 3 spots, we finished third, why didn't we give then pick 51
