Given the length and amount of the contract, Saints certainly think he’s worth pick 5. They’re shafting themselves.

Saints are at Norf level desperate to get anyone to sign with them.

Agreed. Sure Hill is a good player, but he is nowhere near $900K good.

That kind of money is more for A-grade, heading into A+ category player's. Hill is a solid B+ at best.

As we well know, when you've been down the bottom for a while, you do have to overpay in order to lure good players. You'd think it'd be heavily front-ended.

Not sure I get that logic, I’d rather Hill than at least 3/4 of our list.

Not for $900k a season.

Nominated Saints as preferred club. 6 year deal worth 5.4 mil and freo want their pick 5. I know he’s a good player but gee that’s seems like a lot. 

Yep, feels like overs.

By about 350%.

Carlton have had just as many misses, if not more, than us over the years.

imagine being fremantle and thinking Brad Hill is worth a top 5 pick and another first rounder but being absolutely certain Jesse Hogan isn't.

He's barely worth pick 6 let alone another first rounder. Keep dreaming Bell

St Kilda we’re always going to have this issue when they offered Hill $900k per season. 

They'd needed a lure to get him to nominate them so that Freo would only deal with them and now they are reaping what they sowed.

Exactly. $900k a year on a six year contract. IMO he’s not worth two first round picks however St Kilda’s offer says he is.

Two first rounders for Hill is way over but I suppose we paid that for Lever. 

Sure did... if you think pick 6 and pick 19 hold the same value.

After paying pick 27 or something for him? Dreaming.

What does what they paid have to do with true value?

Pick 6 and future first (St Kilda’s, let’s say pick 8 next year) vs pick 10 and a future pick 19 (with pick 35 coming back) ......

The first round is a long round and covers everything from pick 1 to a pick in the low 20s.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
