Title: Rory Hilton

I would say Rory would be extremely lucky to still be on our list next year. Came back into the side against Hawthorn in a blaze of glory but hasn't done much since. His lack of pace hurts him badly.

Rory Hilton is trying to make the half forward flank a specialized position for himself.  All he does is lead out wide on the flanks and if he gets the ball does nothing but a U turn in slow motion ending up in a turn over.  He is pathetic and it is an endictment on the coach and the selection committee that he's been given a game.  Tuck, even though he too is a limited player in terms of pace and skill, has shown more in coburg and has more to offer.

Rory has the fitness level of Mick Nolan...and about the same said for his mobility.
Some of our fans rate him as a tough guy but l dont subscribe to that theory one iota.
Archer is a tough player,Rory just makes up the numbers as our depth is exposed again.

Rory had a job to do on Saturday night - run with Chad Cornes

Run Rory did ... in the opposite direction >:( >:(

He hasn't touched the ball since the game against Hawthorn - back to the Burgers I say.

He has never played accountable football and that is enough for me to say come the end of 2004 - trade!

BTW: Rory certainly was considered for the Golden Turnup
