Bio: Hill is a medium midfielder/defender with excellent pace and a raking left foot kick. He can play inside or outside football, winning both contested and uncontested possessions, and his run and carry is a feature of his game. He won All-Australian under-18 selection following the NAB AFL championships. From Quinns Districts JFC.
Jason McCartney says: Stephen came from right off the radar and really jumped up in the championships. The first game at Subiaco for Western Australia – and you've got to remember we're only playing 20-minute flat quarters – he had the GPS on him and he ran 15km playing off half-back and through the middle. He played with great bounce and agility and it was no coincidence that he broke the record for the agility test at the draft camp.
