He made a short return for the Magpies in Round 21 againstBrisbanelast year, only to be excluded once more the next week due to sickness.
As inquiries increased, Hill did not accompany Collingwood to Adelaide, even though later accounts suggested he had planned to be part of the team.
At the same time, Bradley Hill, Hill’s cousin, is believed to have reached out to Collingwood with worries, an action that reportedly led to a disagreement among relatives.
Worries about his health grew when experienced reporter Caroline Wilson stated that there were occasions when Bobby was unreachable.
“I am aware that his family is deeply concerned about him, and his friends are also very worried,” Wilson stated at that time.

Nevertheless, Collingwood’s coach Craig McRae provided supporters with an encouraging message on May 13, following Hill’s participation in a complete VFL game, indicating that he was making progress in his recovery to return to play.
McRae referred to Devlin as Hill’s ‘partner,’ suggesting that the couple has reunited, as he mentioned the approaching arrival of their third child.

Hill was not included in the team that defeated West Coast on Saturday during club legend Scott Pendlebury’s milestone 433rd AFL game.
