Let me get that for you.

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.

Fremantle up to their old tricks. 

 

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 were always going to have this issue when they offered Hill $900k per season.

I imagine their initial asking price for Langdon will be Pick 3 based on this.

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.

After paying pick 27 or something for him? Dreaming.

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.

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.

has the club considered giving up pick 3 for Hill ?

You'd sincerely hope not, Alex.  Far more than what he's worth.
