How many backmen are going to push Josh Hill around now when they look up to see Bazza on one side and Willbur on the other?

^^^^^ Gold
How many time will defenders look over their shoulder to check that Big Bad Bulldog is not within striking range?
How we know why his presence alone will make the team walk taller. Just imagine you add a little bit of Barry Badness into a player like Everitt and Grant.
Hall and Hill
I like that combination.
Barry might also help with Josh's up and down attitude on the field.
If he's not trying hard enough Barry will let him know about it.
Gilbee mentioned this about a month ago, how Barry would make the forwards walk taller.
Poor old Murph really got hit hard in the prelim, but I doubt that would happen again.

I remember there being a player interviewed on Before the Game this year (can't remember who) was asked if they are concious of Barry Hall when they play the Swans.
His answer was: "everyone knows where Barry Hall is on the field - all of the time".
Its not about him belting blokes - its just his prescence.
