No, Brad Hill had awareness. He didn't put his head down and run and then look up and work out what to do. His head was up the whole time assessing options.I feel a bit sorry for Hartung
Of course, I don’t know the ins and outs of our game plan, but it seemed to me that on a number of occasions he would break free of traffic on a wing, sprint 10-15 meters, look up, and have no-one to actually kick the ball to, as was Clarko’s want of having extra numbers back
So in keeping with possession style footy, he would stop, back pedal, stuff around waiting for an option, and either get caught, or turn the ball over
Brad Hill, for example, always had someone to kick to when running forward of centre
Sometimes game styles/plans can alter a players natural strengths, and Billy’s strength is line breaking and fast movement into a forward line
