BREAKING NEWS: Collingwood Football Club Power Forward Bobby Hill Stuns Fans and the AFL World with Record-Breaking Performance — Fans Left Speechless with Major Announcement Concerning His New Chapter
Melbourne, VIC — In one of the most electrifying displays in AFL history, Bobby Hill of the Collingwood Football Club has stunned fans and shaken the entire league with a record-breaking performance that will go down in football folklore.
In front of a roaring crowd of over 95,000 at the MCG, Hill didn’t just put on a show — he rewrote history, lifting the Magpies to a resounding 19.11 (125) to 14.7 (91) victory over arch-rivals Carlton in a highly anticipated Friday night blockbuster.
But it wasn’t just his incredible on-field heroics that had jaws dropping. Moments after the final siren, Hill made an emotional, career-defining announcement that no one saw coming — sending shockwaves through the AFL community and beyond.
A Performance for the Ages
Hill, 24, finished the match with a career-high 10 goals, becoming the first Collingwood player in over 80 years to hit double digits in a single game — and the first Indigenous player in AFL history to do so under the Friday night lights.
From the opening bounce, Hill looked untouchable. His agility, speed, and deadly accuracy in front of goal left Carlton’s defence scrambling all night. Whether it was out on the lead, through traffic, or snapping on the run from impossible angles, Hill delivered with surgical precision.
“It was like he had a magnet in his boots and a rocket in his back,” said Magpies coach Craig McRae post-match. “Bobby wasn’t just brilliant — he was unstoppable.”
By halftime, Hill had already booted six majors. By three-quarter time, he was sitting on eight. The MCG erupted as he slotted his ninth and tenth in the final term, with fans chanting “Bobby! Bobby!” and waving black-and-white scarves across the stands.
It was a moment no footy fan will soon forget.
The Post-Game Bombshell
As the players gathered for the post-match awards and celebrations, Hill stood centre stage, medal around his neck and ball in hand, visibly emotional.
Then came the mic drop moment.
“I’ve been waiting for the right time to share this with the footy world,” Hill said. “Tonight feels right. I’m proud to announce I’ve signed a long-term contract extension with Collingwood — and I’m here for life.”
The new deal? A six-year extension reportedly worth over $5 million, locking Hill into the black-and-white until 2031 — and making him one of the highest-paid forwards in the AFL.
“This club gave me a chance when I needed it most,” he continued. “They backed me. And now, I’m backing them — for the long haul. I want to bring more premierships to the Holden Centre. I’m not going anywhere.”
The announcement sent the already-hyped crowd into a frenzy, with fans and teammates embracing the young star as if they’d just won another Grand Final.
From Cancer Survivor to Superstar
Hill’s story is one of resilience, perseverance, and heart. Just two years ago, in 2022, he was forced to step away from football after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Now, in 2025, he’s the reigning Norm Smith Medallist, a premiership player, and one of the most feared forwards in the league.
“Bobby’s journey is bigger than footy,” said teammate Scott Pendlebury. “He’s a warrior. And tonight, he didn’t just play a great game — he inspired a nation.”
Social media lit up with praise, with hashtags like #BobbyHill, #MagpieMagic, and #AFLGOAT trending nationally within minutes of the announcement.
“From survivor to superstar. Bobby Hill is the heartbeat of the Pies.”

The Magpies’ Premiership Window Just Got Bigger
Hill’s commitment sends a loud and clear message to the rest of the league: Collingwood’s flag window is still wide open.
With stars like Nick Daicos, Jordan De Goey, and Darcy Moore already locked in, and now Hill leading the charge up forward, the Magpies look well-positioned to chase back-to-back premierships — and potentially build a dynasty.
GM of Football Graham Wright said the extension was “a massive win for the club.”
“Bobby represents everything we stand for — courage, flair, unity. He’s a generational talent, and we’re absolutely thrilled he’s staying with us.”
A Night That Changed Everything
In the span of just a few hours, Bobby Hill delivered one of the most extraordinary performances in modern AFL history — then rewrote the script on what’s next.
From his record-breaking 10-goal haul to a franchise-defining contract extension, Hill didn’t just make headlines — he became the headline.
And as Collingwood fans poured out of the MCG singing the club song under the Melbourne night sky, one thing was crystal clear:
The Bobby Hill era has officially begun.
Stay tuned as the Magpies march toward finals footy — with Bobby Hill leading the charge, rewriting records, and inspiring a generation. One goal at a time.
