Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill continues to impress his Collingwood teammates in a bid to earn a recall for the Magpies' preliminary final.

After kicking four goals in a VFL scratch match against Geelong on Saturday, Hill is storming into consideration for selection.

The 25-year-old has been restricted to just one game - as a sub - since June 21 due to personal issues limiting his ability to constantly be at the club.

But Hill is putting together a solid block of training, 11 days away from Collingwood's preliminary final against the winner of Saturday night's QClash semi-final between Brisbane and Gold Coast.

The dynamic forward took part in all of the Magpies' light session on Tuesday, with main training on Wednesday and Friday set to shape his finals series.

"It's been great to have Bobby back at training," Collingwood star Josh Daicos said. "He performed exceptionally well in the practice match on the weekend.

"He's obviously made his name in finals football. So if there is someone to come back and have an impact, he'd definitely be right up there.

"It's just great to see him smiling back at the club.

"The biggest thing for him now will be continuing to ramp up his loads. He's still got another couple weeks to prove himself."

The public messaging about Hill from Collingwood is vastly different to even a week ago, when a return this September appeared more unlikely than not.
