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

    Fremantle up to their old tricks. 

     

    After paying pick 27 or something for him? Dreaming.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
