SEASON AVERAGES

In some categories Hill is comfortably winning, while in others the pair are fairly even.

When it comes to touching the ball Hill comfortably wins, but everything around that is actually fairly even between the pair. That could be down to Hill having a lot more time on field this season than Patrikios, as the latter works her way back from not playing last season.

CAREER AVERAGES

If you take a look more broadly at the whole of their careers, it is overall a fairly even picture.

Patrikios is more of a kicker while Hill is more of a handballers, but overall there is not much difference between the pair in most stats. The one category Patrikios has a comfortable buffer on Hill in is metres gained, while Hill is the more efficient of the pair when disposing of the ball.
