Fremantle running machine Bradley Hill says he’ll be fit for Sunday’s season opener against North Melbourne at Optus Stadium and hopes he can return to his best this year after a full pre-season.

Hill attended the Sirens Purple Haze High Tea at Crown Perth yesterday with bandaging on his left calf after copping a bad corkie in the Dockers’ JLT Community Series clash against West Coast a week earlier.

The 25-year-old had only a light session as much of the group completed some match simulation at Optus Stadium yesterday, but denied he was in doubt to face the Kangaroos.

“There was a little bit of bleeding and bruising but the calf is all well and I should be ready to go this week,” Hill said.

“It is a little bit annoying. I’ve never really had like a bad corkie, I’ve had little niggles where you can run the next day.

“It was a little bit of a bigger corkie but I’m fine now. I ran two days ago and the leg is feeling good and I’ll get ready for this week and have a full week of training.

“I didn’t do the full training session (yesterday) with the whole group but I’ll train fully on Tuesday, so we’ve got (today) off and then back into it.”

Hill won the Doig Medal in his first season at Fremantle in 2017 after crossing from Hawthorn, but endured plenty of frustration last year after a knee injury halted his progress in round two.

“For myself last year it was probably my first actual injury that I’ve had throughout my AFL career,” he said.

“It was a little bit annoying but I got to play the last few games, which is a positive.

“I’ve had a big pre-season and I haven’t missed anything so it’s been good.

“Definitely (I want to get back to my best), when I came back last year it probably took me a few games to get back into it.

“I feel like I’m fit and ready to go, so I can’t wait.”

Hill said brother Stephen was making strong progress after quad surgery in December.

“He’s running pretty fast at the moment,” he said.

“He’s not too far away but obviously he’s not going to be right for the first few weeks.”

Young defender Griffin Logue said he would likely put his hand up to play in round one if he could tick some boxes this week after picking up a hamstring injury in the first pre-season match against Collingwood.
