Hill delivered 98 in St Kilda's 2-point thriller at the SCG — 39 above his 59 BE in the highest-pressure game of the round. This is vintage Hill: elite midfield output in a genuine contest. His season average of 47 signals injury disruption but the ceiling remains. Prior R12 sell, R11 hold — this performance demands a buy call. Cash gen positive at +$464/wk. Buy — captain viable and the ceiling is proven.
