The Collingwood forward kicked four goals and took a towering mark as the Magpies secured a 16th premiership flag at the MCG
No one else came close to Hill in the Norm Smith medal count; his 15 votes were 10 ahead of next best Keidean Coleman of Brisbane. Magpies Nick Daicos , Tom Mitchell , Jack Crisp and Scott Pendlebury were the other four players to poll. It was Scott Pendlebury who won the Norm Smith in Collingwood’s last flag in 2010, making Hill just the fourth Pie ever to win the medal.
“To be honest I was watching Cyril Rioli’s grand final highlights,” he said. “So, there you go. Cyril, thank you, and my teammates as well for backing me in, to kick me the ball and let me do my thing.”Hill’s AFL career has been busier than most considering his age. In early 2022 he and his partner, Georgia, had their first child, Bobby Jr, and then in May last year, Hill had surgery for testicular cancer and did not play for the rest of the AFL season.
