The news that Collingwood and Geelong had reached agreements with Bobby Hill and Ty Stengle to depart the club was hardly a surprise.
But that didn’t make hearing it any less disappointing as both were extremely talented players who starred on the biggest stages for their clubs.

More importantly they are also people who I care about having enjoyed the interactions I have had with them over the years. Like their teammates and coaches and fans, I only want the best for them in the next chapter of their lives.
