Remembered mainly as a centre half forward, he played in the 1960 and 1961 losing grand finals against North Adelaide and West Adelaide respectively.
 
Lill was named Norwood's Best Team Man in 1960, and topped the club's goal-kicking in 1961 and 1962.
 
He only missed one game through injury or illness and unfortunately for Lill that happened to be a State game against Victoria.
