WESTERN Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade says Barry Hall is feeling some nerves ahead of his debut for the club in Friday night's NAB Cup quarter-final against Hawthorn.

The former Sydney captain parted ways with the Swans midway through last season because of his struggles to contain his anger on the field.

Eade says not too much will be expected of Hall against Hawthorn, with the main aim to build his match fitness, but the player himself will be keen to impress.

I've always felt you need a little bit of nerves to play at your best

all credit to Barry for producing the goods

I am very happy with his performance but I cant help but remember a few first doggie games J Rawlings Richard Osborne and Who kicked 8 against Carlton anyway of those three only Ossie was a consistant performer for us.

Ossie was not only consistent, but a solid performer as well.
