    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
