Despite being dropped for the grand final to make way for returning guns, the electric Ian Hill had his talent and X-factor on full display through the year. His stat line of 10 touches and a goal per game was about half of his WAFL Colts tallies, although against larger bodies. Skills wise, Hill looked at home in the senior squad. His slender frame, on the other hand, did not. The speedy crumber will benefit from another preseason in the gym, no doubt. Expect him in and out of the side as needed and avoid him in the draft.
Hill is a flat tracker

Third Hill is but a hillock
The cousin of Fremantle stars Bradley and Stephen, Ian Hill was highly productive for Perth in the WAFL Colts in his last junior season, generating 20 touches and a touch under two goals per outing. Still adding weight to his frame, the slight Hill was unable to maintain production at the reserves level. Regarded highly by talent scouts for his ability to assist as well as hit the scoreboard individually, Hill will need to add weight to his frame before playing seniors as he was five kilograms less heavy than the second lightest player to play at the Championships. Raw quality is hard to find so expect the Giants to nurture his at the lower level this season.
