Reckon you're selling Hall short there. He is very quick on the lead, has agility, and is prepared (forced to because of Sydney's game style) to make repeated leads to provide a target. he also chases and harrases better than most key forwards in the game today and isn't afraid to make dummy leads to clear a path for other forwards. he can also clunk a contested grab when needed.

But he is 33 years old at the start of next season and common sense would dictate that his powers would have to start diminishing in the next couple of years.
