It is reasonable to think that David Hille would have a terrible 2010 after missing the last 17 games of 2009. ACL injuries are always crippling, and Hille could be excused for having a year with limited output and being rested heavily. Nothing in football is ever predictable.
Hille has had a very serviceable 2010, playing 11 straight games before pulling a hammy against the Swans. His Dream Team and Supercoach averages have been 81.5 and 73.2 in a year where a good second ruckman has been very hard to find. He wasn't overhyped like Kurt Tippett or underdone like Dean Cox - and he steadily increased his output from rounds 1-11 before going down.
He can dominate games, as evidenced against St Kilda and Richmond, and has made his owners over $100,000 after being discounted in price. Hopefully he can return to his form of rounds 6-9, though the big man may have had his run and lower scores should be expected. Hille will bleed for Essendon, so keep an eye on him.
