Haven't seen him play much but he is having some sort of game tonight!

Not Melbourne and no chance of playing for Melbourne so that equals zero interest.

That's a shame. I'm a Melbourne fan through and through but I still find enjoyment in watching talented players. He certainly is that!!!

I was also thinking the same thing watching the game tonight, when Freo are on song they look an impressive outfit, but I guess so do most teams...

Dont worry about what others think

I also like to watch talent and give praise to great play and players

Hill is certainly a gifted player who is on his way to becoming great

Freo,s problem is they have too many Ibottson,s and his clangers got Carlton a sniff


For all the bagging Freo has copped in the past on its drafting the have done pretty well recently. Hill >>>>> Rich and the gap is getting bigger.

Yeah good point. I thought Morabito looked impressive too and was able to impose himself physically on a couple of occasions

their number 37 was by far their best player tonight. i keep thinking his name is mitchell but its not.

whenever the game was up for grabs, he was there with a goal, a vital intercept, a handball, etc etc that i thought prob won the game for them in the end. dunno who he is but get him on board

 

Like to watch him play. He reminds me, more than any other player I can remember, of the great Robbie Flower in the way he moves.

Isn't that Michael Johnson?

It was a big call at the time it has definately payed off.

Wasn't he impressive?.Just shows that an athletic tall is what we need to go with Jamar.

I only watched about half of the first quarter and the whole last quarter.

Am still getting over Ibbotson's kick across field.

Carrazzo's injury may have cost my dreamteam!

Their drafting has been absolutely sensational the last 2 years. Hill, Ballantyne, Suban, Morabito, Fyfe, Crichton, Bollenhagen, Roberton all look like very good players in the making. Not to mention the mature age steals in Broughton, Silvagni and Barlow. Even McPhee doesn't look a completely stupid decision at the moment.

To make it as a side they will need to get a couple of tall defenders - McPharlin, Taz and Grover aren't getting any younger, but their drafting of running players has been spot on, and I hate to say it but superior to ours.

All they need now is a less horrible uniform and people might to start taking them seriously. Honestly they look like a bunch of surfers out there, especially that player with the blond curly locks...albeit playing some good footy ;)


He's a jet, isn't he?

As he continues to develop and be more damaging, teams will work on finding ways to shut his run down.

They'll do it, but it will take tactics that create weaknesses in their set up for Freo to use.

But, like any player like a Judd or Ablett (not that he's yet in their stratosphere) teams will adjust to contain him.

Yeah good point. I thought Morabito looked impressive too and was able to impose himself physically on a couple of occasions

both hill and morabito haven't been the best of late, hill has been unable to shake tags and morabito has just been plain old quiet. morabito hasn't yet received a nomination either.

what a difference a weeks break makes.

both excelled and showed why they were picked up early. hill....wow. morabito made a horrible blue in the 1st quarter then afet quarter time was sensational. he might even earn a nomination for rd 22 !

Great bloke, still comes and watches us amateurs when he's not playing from his junior club days. We dream when he retires he'll come back and play for us and move us up to "A" grade :)

I think the AFL should do a thing like cricket and have the players go play a weekend at their old junior clubs. Watch Hussey a few times in the local comp.

Not Melbourne and no chance of playing for Melbourne so that equals zero interest.

Let's shoot you down :P

Freo have copped an unfair bagging for some time now on this site for the recruitment and list which I cant believe.

They have cut alot of the old wood and drafted judiciously indeed.

Where are all the critics who slagged Freo for taking Hill at pick 3 a couple of years ago ahead of Rich?

And Morabito in a few years could be anything. Could be brilliant but with the odd clanger thrown in.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
