Bradley Hill (born 9 July 1993) is a professionalAustralian rules footballer playing for theSt Kilda Football Club in theAustralian Football League (AFL). He previously played for theHawthorn Football Club from 2012 to 2016, and for theFremantle Football Club between 2017 and 2019. He is a very quick running player who plays as awingman.
Hill was drafted to Hawthorn with the 33rd selection in2011 AFL draft from theWest Perth Football Club in theWAFL. He is the younger brother of formerFremantle playerStephen Hill,[1][2] and the second cousin of formerWestern Bulldogs andWest Coast forwardJoshua Hill.[3] He is also the cousin ofCollingwood forwardBobby Hill.[4][5]
He made his debut for Hawthorn againstWest Coast in round 4 of the2012 AFL season atPatersons Stadium. He was the substitute player and replacedDavid Hale in the final quarter.[2] Hill kicked 3 goals in his 5 matches for the year.
In the2013 AFL season Hill switched to the number 10guernsey and cemented his spot in the starting line-up, playing 24 out of 25 games and kicking 18 goals. The performance that won him a2013 AFL Rising Star nomination was his 17 disposal and two goal effort in Hawthorn's thrilling win against the Crows at AAMI Stadium in round 6.[6]
Hill's good form continued and he was selected for Hawthorn in the2013 AFL Grand Final at the M.C.G. in front of 100,007 people. In the first quarter Hill passed the ball from the boundary toJack Gunston in front of goals, which then provided Hawthorn with the first goal of the game. He then repeated the trick in the 3rd quarter when Gunston pounced upon the spilt ball to spin around and kick his 4th goal to re-establish Hawthorn's lead going into the final stanza. Hill also kicked the sealer halfway through the final quarter, running into an open goal to ensurePaul Puopolo's bouncing kick went through, thus giving Hawthorn a 5-goal lead which Fremantle could not overcome.
At the end of the 2016 season, Hill was traded to Fremantle, joining his brother Stephen.[7] Under coachRoss Lyon, Hill won the 2017Doig Medal, Fremantle's best-and-fairest award, in his first season at the club. In Round 20, 2019 Hill had an outstanding game collecting 27 disposals and having 6 rebound 50s. He claimed that this was his best game since he has been atFremantle.
In mid 2019, Hill spoke to his manager about seeking a trade to a Victorian-based team at the end of the season.[8] It was understood that Hill wanted to return to Victoria, where he played for the Hawks from 2012 to 2016, for family reasons. As a result, there was significant media speculation throughout the second half of 2019 surrounding Hill's future at Fremantle.[9] Hill eventually requested a trade to St Kilda following interest from several Victorian clubs. Trade negotiations between Fremantle and St Kilda were protracted and subject to significant public discussion during the 2019 Trade Period.[10] Eventually, on the final day of trading, Hill officially joined the Saints on 16 October in a complicated trade with draft picks 10 and 58, a 2020 second round pick and the Saints'Blake Acres traded to the Dockers in return for Hill and a 2020 third round pick.[11][12]
Hill played all 19 possible games in hisfirst season for the Saints (including two finals) in aCOVID interrupted season which also saw shorter 16-minute quarters.
Hill played all 22 possible games for the Saints in 2021 and finished equal fifth in theTrevor Barker Award.[13]
In 2013, the Hill brothers became the first siblings to play against each other in a Grand Final since the1912 VFL Grand Final.[14]
