Hawthorn star Bradley Hill (pictured) will seek a trade from the premiers to return home to WA.

23 year old Hill has been linked with a move to the Dockers and brother Stephen since the middle of the season but there are no guarantees that the Hawks will play ball on the move.

Hills manager Tom Potroro says while the Eagles will definitely figure in the negotiations, the opportunity to link with older brother Stephen at the Dockers is definitely the preferred option.
