Fremantle appear resigned to losing star winger Brad Hill after weeks of uncertainty surrounding the triple Hawthorn premiership player’s future.

Dockers football boss Peter Bell is expected to meet with Melbourne-based clubs as early as Monday to hold preliminary discussions on possible trade deals for the gifted Hill.

Bell could even meet St Kilda officials on Monday to establish initial prospects of a trade deal for Hill.

Hill is understood to have advised Dockers management that he will ask to be traded after the home-and-away engagements conclude later this month.
