Stats
Bio
Recruited from Coburg in the VFA, Fred Hill was a solid utility who arrived at North Melbourne during the 1947 season. Standing 183cm, he possessed the frame of a key position prospect, capable of holding his own in the physical contests of the post-war era. Hill broke into the senior side for just two matches as a 19-year-old, debuting in a period where the club was struggling to find traction on the ladder. Unable to command a regular spot in the starting eighteen, his tenure at Arden Street was short-lived, standing as one of the many brief cameos in the club's history before he departed the VFL scene.
