Eagles monitor Bobby Hill's return as rivals rule out interest

Summary

West Coast is evaluating Bobby Hill as he looks to return to the AFL after parting with Collingwood earlier this year. Hill, the 2023 Norm Smith medallist, has been training hard following personal issues. While West Coast is considering Hill for upcoming roster moves, Fremantle has officially stated it will not pursue him. St Kilda has expressed an interest in adding players for improved scoring but has not yet discussed Hill or Jake Stringer. Hill and Stringer may join a club as delisted free agents or pre-season supplementary signings before the 2027 season.
