Stephen Hill

Seems worth having a thread about him. He's an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season and we're apparently interested.

Would turn 30 during next season and his injury history is well known. Speaking of which, what are the chances Burgess would get an opportunity to assess these kind of things?

Pending the Burgess approval, I would be keen as he costs us nothing, can potentially help us lure his brother and IMO would just replace Lewis' spot on the list as a mature player who may play some VFL.

STEPHEN HILL

Status: Contracted until the end of 2019

State of play: Stephen Hill was one of the premier wingmen in the AFL only a few years ago, but injuries have limited him to just 16 games across the past two seasons — including just three in 2019. Some believe that he will move to where his brother Bradley plays next season. It might seem unusual that a club would take two wingmen at the same time, but some clubs — like Melbourne — need two genuine wingmen right now. Gold Coast has been linked to Hill before and could try to lure him across the country again.

Likely scenario: A fresh start appears to be the best thing for Hill moving forward, especially if a club like Gold Coast dangles some long term security in front of the 29-year-old.

    Gold coast have the most interest and connection so far. We've been mentioned because of the link to his brother but I'd prefer Langdon than SHill

    Yep, absolutely the same here. No reason we couldn't get all 3 though? Would transform our midfield.

    I'm not super keen, but should Burgess get a look at him and think he can be fit too contribute then he would improve our depth.

    Agree Stephen Hill fits our needs exactly.  Sure injure history but as a free agent, he comes into the frame.  

    In his day, he was one of the premier midfield runners.

    I'd definitely be keen on S. Hill.  He's an outstanding ball user, is still quicker than most on our list and we'd get him for nothing.  Assuming this year was an aberration, he and his brother are potentially the difference from finalist to serious contender.  Langdon is quickish but not a great user.  I'd have the Hill's before him.

    They’re not bad players swooper but they’re not the difference between finalists to serious contenders. The brothers Hill are being seriously overrated by a few on here.

    He's off the table (if he was ever on it).

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-08-27/dockers-end-trade-talk-on-one-jet-with-fresh-deal

    FREMANTLE speedster Stephen Hill has signed a two-year contract with the club, locking him in until the end of 2021.

    Hill and brother Bradley have both been the subject of trade discussions in recent times, but after a turbulent two weeks at the club – which saw coach Ross Lyon and CEO Steve Rosich sacked – the 29-year-old has recommitted.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
