A half back flanker, Hill played in losing grand finals for Collingwood in 1964 and 1966. He represented the Victorian interstate side in 1964 and 1965 and finished equal eighth in the 1964 Brownlow Medal.
After playing the opening game of the 1969 VFL season he was dropped to the seconds. Angered by the decision, he left Collingwood and joined Preston (now known as the Northern Blues) in the Victorian Football Association.[2] In five seasons at the club he won two J. J. Liston Trophies, in 1969 and 1971. He was also a dual best and fairest winner and a premiership player in 1969. The club's best and fairest award is named for Hill.[3]
