I also know a Hawthorn supporter who reckons that early on he wasn't that highly rated but he quickly realised that his run and carry, along with Isaac Smith on the other wing, was an essential part to Hawthorn's success. In the end he was in awe, like we now are, of how much ground he could cover in a game and how no opposition players could stay with him.
Lucky to play in a premiership side three times? Who are you kidding? That must make Clarkson a complete idiot for picking him once, let alone three times.
A natural footballer knows where to go get the ball, position himself, not get caught between play, etc. Hill obviously can do this. Not natural-athlete type footballers like Naitanui don't.
