Barry Hall

[comrade]

Simple.

Do you want him next year?

[The Coon Dog]

Yes, put simply.

[comrade]

Yes, put simply.

What's most attractive about it?

[AndrewP6]

Yep, let's give it a shot...

[Rocco Jones]

Short answer yes.

It needs to be about him chasing us at least as much as us chasing him. He has demonstrated that he can stay focused when he is motivated, Barry needs to want it.

His KP forward stats this year and the last couple of seasons demonstrate that he is still a high quality player. We should get him for close to nothing and we shouldn't have to pay him much. Obviously we can do with a KP forward.

[GVGjr]

At this stage...no thanks. He would need to display substantially more ticker and common sense before I would consider it.

[Happy Days]

Yes, but as I said before, as long as it does not come at the cost of any draft picks.

Now you're changing the ground rules, it was just a simple do you want him or not next year, now you want me to justify it!!!!!!!!!! Geez comrade, you're pushy but because its you....

Firstly he's still a bloody good footballer & recently kicked 6 against us.

Secondly, we're much more direct than the Swans, so that should help too as his leads are more likely to be honoured.

Thirdly, he'd aid & take the pressure off Grant, Cordy etc...

Fourthly, he can take a contested mark, so if we need a Hail Mary he provides that option.

Fifthly, he'd take a topline defender which may free others up down the line.

Sixthly, his name in Barry.

Seventhly, he shares the same initials as Ben Hudson, so another BHBAS (Barry Hall's Bonce Appreciation Society) is possible.

Eighthly if he did lose it, we'd probably have front row seats.

Ninthly, he barracked for the club as a kid.

Tenthly, we have a board member with the same name!

So there, comrade!

[Dry Rot]

Anyone know why he has exploded more than usual in the last 2 seasons?

In his press conference, he said he now couldn't trust himself on a footy nor out in public.

Ordinarily, I'd take him in a heart beat to fix the glaring deficiency we have in our forward line, but he seems to have gone mad lately.

Why would he be any different next year?

[The Coon Dog]

Why would he be any different next year?

Honestly, who knows?

I look back at how Rocket got the best out of another froot loop in Plugger & hopefully draw some parallels.

Fair point re Plugger but I wonder if Hall has now lost it.

[comrade]

So there, comrade!

You make some bloody good points, I think I might vote yes now.

For me, if Welsh finishes up at the end of the year, then it becomes a very attractive proposition.

Great points... but "Ben Budson"?

[The Coon Dog]

Great points... but "Ben Budson"?

Oops!!! Fixed now. Thanks AP6.

[LostDoggy]

Sixthly, his name in Barry.

I was convinced at this point, TCD has me sold
