Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Matt Hill! CatB rookie, ex-Storm

[Steven Tyler]

hilly82 prior to Matt choosing the Hawks did Sam Mitchell being the coach have any pull in his decision? I know Sam still has a great relationship with cousin Brad and even with the ongoing court drama with Cyril as well.

I thought Cyril didn’t have contact with any of his former teammates?

Hopefully he still gets in touch with Sam

Sensational suff, Hilly, thanks for all the insight!

A few more to ask;
Is he good on both feet?
How good are his skills?
Does he take the game on with running bounces?
Runs in straight lines or good lateral vision?
How good are his evasive skills?
One touch grab/good mark?
Which player does he liken or aspire himself to? Or who would you liken him to?

Don't forget, check his teeth.

Training watchers... Please keep an eye on this kid when training starts.

I'm keen to see how he goes.

This is Matt aged 15 against the A Grade Men’s team.

Reminds me of one of my favourite players, Gilbert Mcadam.

Already has a nice kicking action with the ball drop …… wants to have a crack in the midfield

When we picked up Matt and then saw some of the rugby league footage with the way he moves …… he is the first one l want to see over summer

Love that he was playing centre most of this year. Would be great if he can make it as an outside midfielder if he has the tank for it - he certainly wouldn’t have the tag of only running one way with his background.
