Collingwood, Bobby Hill reach agreement for 2023 Norm Smith Medallist to leave club

In short:

Collingwood coach Craig McRae says he and the club will always love Bobby Hill, as the premiership forward reaches agreement to leave the Magpies.

The 26-year-old was contracted until 2030, but has not played AFL for almost a year amid periods of personal leave, and McRae has called out online racial abuse of Hill.

Hill won a premiership with Collingwood in 2023, winning the Norm Smith Medal for his four-goal performance in the grand final.
