Bobby Hill Norm Smith medallist, Collingwood Magpies defeat Brisbane Lions, recall, highlights, reaction, response, why he choose trade to Collingwood over Essendon

Norm Smith Medal winner Bobby Hill has opened up on his phenomenal 2023 grand final performance, saying “I felt like nothing was going wrong” in his epic second quarter.

Hill exploded in arguably his best AFL game yet in Collingwood’s premiership triumph over Brisbane last September – including kicking four of his five goals in the first half alone – three in just the second term.

Perhaps the gun small forward’s biggest highlight of the day was taking an electrifying hanger over Brandon Starcevich late in the second quarter, leading to his third goal in a moment you sensed a special performance was brewing.
