    I do see Hall as a better option though, simply because taking personalities out of the equation:

    Hall: Provides physical prescence in our forwardline, costs $300,000 a year, is only needed for 2 years, leads up the ground helping out at CHF too, knows how to work with other marking targets (O'Loughlin, O'Keefe (who is pretty much Murphy)), will be acquired with around about a 3rd round pick

    Fevola: Provides a big marking key forward, costs $700,000 a year, will be around for 4+ years, dominates in the forward 50, used to being the sole target with crumbers (Betts, Garlett), will be acquired with in excess of a 1st round pick and very rpomising player

    I see Hall as being better value for money for our needs and structure, despite Fevola currently being the better player.

    Fevola:
    Obviously Hall has had problems with keeping his cool on the field and has let himself down there - but the bloke isn't a d1ckhead.

    At St.Kilda is was well regarded as a disciplined trainer, with a good attitude, good application and a good sense of Team.

    At Sydney - he was seen as enough of a good leader, hard worker and positive influence that he was made co-Captain. Do you think he would be made Captain of a footy club if he was a d1ckhead?

      The other thing with Hall is, off the field, he is a genuine nice bloke. The same cannot be said of Fev.

        From your own personal experiences?

        I have heard reports that Fev is good with his time and is quite pleasant with his demeanor away from the cameras. He is just a fruitloop on the gas.

          Anecdotal I know, but 2 years ago I was eating lunch in the Qantas domestic terminal in Sydney and Barry Hall was doing the same whilst reading the paper at the table next to me. Barry nodded to me and asked if I wanted part of his paper to read.

          It turned out we were both waiting for a flight that had been delayed and he and I chatted for about an hour. A nicer and more unasuming guy you'd struggle to meet. He seemed surprised that I even recognised him. Barry even seemed a little embarrased when I had a light hearted dig about him flattening Chris Grant.

          I speak to a lot of people in airport lounges and restaurants and Barry came across as not too different to any other relaxed, friendly guy with an hour or so to kill. I thought at the time "....what's all the fuss about: he's not that intimidating!" Brent Staker has a different story to tell though.

            Maybe Staker didn't share his paper and Barry took umbrage...
            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

              If Staker had offered to share his newspaper, it would've been fine!

                  Barry offered his paper to me - I wasn't going to refuse even though it was The Australian!

                    Good move... I would've read every article, just in case he wanted to ask questions!

                        Didn't realise Barry could read. Ok, he's worth a 2nd round pick now.

                          Imagine being Rocket if he had to tell Barry he's changed his mind and decided to pursue Fevola. BllllimeyNotice a couple of Carlton Mario's one in particular watch this space Fevola for Pavlich! Typical Carlton thinking they can syphon of their rubbish in alop sided trade.Barry for mine he works harder,more a team player,Fevola only works hard when he wants to.

                            That made absolutely no sense to me.

                              I think Remi is referring to an unrealistic trade being suggested by Carlton supporters
                              If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                                Yes, from personal experience, listening to him slag off the coach for 6 hours on a plane back from Darwin.
