    Dogs close to Hall deal

    Mark Stevens | September 24, 2009 12:00am

    BARRY Hall is on the brink of joining the Western Bulldogs after being offered a two-year deal.

    Although the Bulldogs have remained low-key publicly, club powerbrokers, chief executive Campbell Rose and president David Smorgon, have met Hall.

    It is understood Hall has been wooed at the Toorak home of Smorgon in similar style to Jason Akermanis three years ago.

    BARRY Hall and Jason Akermanis look set to join forces on the Western Bulldogs forward line next season with Hall now certain to be offered a two-year deal and Akermanis expected to play on. Hall has told Sydney that he wants to resume his playing career and has nominated the Bulldogs as his club of choice.

    Re: Dogs close to Hall deal

    If, as expected, Hall announces the Bulldogs as his No. 1 choice, the club will work with Sydney to strike a deal. It may take a third-round pick and a bit-part player to satisfy Sydney, but the Swans are unlikely to play hardball.
    Who you think they refer to as a bit-part player?

    The "To be delisted players" or someone more senior...like a Hill or Addison?

    Dont wanna give too much up..he can nominate for the PSD and we can just snag him there in hope Hawthorn chase after Gibson & Burgoyne..

    I'm sure I mentioned a few weeks ago to some fellow WOOFers at one of the games (Brisbane maybe?) that if Bazza gets an invite to Smorgo's mansion, it's a done deal...

    I would think it would come from players like Wight, Skipper or perhaps even O'Keefe.

    It would not be Hill and I doubt very much that Addison or Tiller would be involved.

    Re: Dogs close to Hall deal

    Is this happening a year too late??

    I'm happy that this deal will happen but on the other hand I'm a bit worried that we missed the boat last year on this deal, and we are trying to do a patch up job on our forward line. I'm on the fence with this one. I hope Bazza can kick plenty of goals next year and put my doubts at ease.
