Recommitted Bobby Hill [requested trade to Essendon but will be held to his contract]

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Colin Young same manager Cam McCarthy had.

Expect Bobby Hill to sit out for a season then.

dont think he will needs money

what will happen is he will leave next year and GWS will get nothing

 

[Falcon27]

No Tom, he just cant go posting that sh!t. It doesn't match the Essendon hard to deal with narrative.

Absolute rubbish from hill. Pleading desperately to be traded for family reasons despite his family being in WA, missus in Melbourne, yet only wants essendon. What a load of toss. Now he's threatening to not return to GWS. Why would you even want him with that attitude if you were Essendon. Has a 'return to WA for personal reasons after only 2 seasons at essendon' written all over him.

To top it off, after requesting a trade at the last minute, gets denied and throws the toys out of the cot.

So GWS main reason for refusing to trade Hill is that they haven't been able to trade in a replacement small forward.

If he wants to be in Victoria then he should be happy with who ever.
I hope Gws stand strong.
He left it too late so bad luck. Sit out if need be and work a different job for a year…

Phew. Bullet dodged. Good luck Giants, as a Dons fan I know the perils of holding a player to his contract

Bit like Brad Hill?

Must be a hill thing

 

[citizen-erased]

No one knows why exactly why it's only Essendon or bust (especially for a contracted player)

If he has good mates who play at the Dons, that is understandable, but this seems like a very unusual overall, esp after his apparently meltdown today.

believe i saw a tweet re: dreamtime (why not the tigers?) but not sure it was attributable to Hill or management.

 

[deedog2]

Not going to happen but i'd trade 17 for him

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

If he wants to do that it’s his right but he will only hurt himself. GWS are big winners, we have kept a required player.

Read my post again, there are no winners in that scenario.

For those claiming Hill should've been open to other clubs, no other club is offering more than a second rounder anyway so I don't quite get that line of thinking...

Why’s that? Unless you finish last and get him via PSD? How else do you get him for nothing?

 

[Andre the Giant]

You've kept a bloke who manifestly doesn't want to be there - it remains to see whether you've "won" anything. For every Papley there's liable to be 10 Danihers.

Lots of people don’t want to be where they work, professionals get on with it, self-serving fools fall in a hole.

He will be given every opportunity and given all the support to excel, this is his opportunity to show he has character.

The club he nominates (or doesn't nominate) doesn't have any bearing on the outcome. Collingwood still made an offer and GWS rejected it.

WTF? His management weren't even prepared to talk to other clubs to discuss contract arrangements. That's the first step before any trade discussions can start.

 

[TerryWallet]

As someone with.....maybe a very slight dislike for Essendon, i'm kinda very happy that they didn't get their mitts on Hill. Very good talent.

Not sure how he'll go at GWS, but i reckon he woulda been a shot at lighting it up for Essendon.

I guess for Dreamtime now, EFC would be desperately hoping that Tippa is available. No Mossie. No Stengle. No Bobby.

Well I assume he can leave and go into the pre season draft and go to north? I’ve read other articles that hill has stated its Essendon only..

No. He's contracted.

When contracted? That’s allowed?

No

 

[emilybrown]

No. He's contracted.

Then Giants or a year away from the game it is

He's contracted isn't he?

Pies where Dumb to offer that Much and Dumb by GWS to Reject it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Players shouldn’t be able to nominate one club..he wants to go to Melbourne why does he need to go to one club?

Good on GWS holding firm

How was it dumb by GWS they rejected a few picks that weren’t that useful for GWS
