After 16 games (17 rounds), Hall has 58 goals and is headed for the Coleman Medal.

Richmond's Jack Riewoldt leads him by five, but the Western Bulldogs will outscore the Tigers by a heap in the remaining five rounds.

Difficult to believe the Bulldogs nabbed Hall with selection No. 47 in the 2009 national draft.

He had departed Sydney in a hurry last year, ultimately disappointed with the club, hopefully disappointed with himself, maybe even disillusioned with football.

He has kicked more goals than l would of thought (was hopeing for about 50) but at the same time a few others have been a long way down.

The most he has kicked in a season is 80. So far to date he has 58 and if he averages 4 a match for the next 5 rounds, that will make it 78, plus he will have at minimum 2 finals if not 3, so looking at around 90 to 95.

Can he crack the 100?

Imagine if it happened on Grand Final day.

Hopefully he only has about 90 after the prelim in that case...

A surprisingly Dogs-friendly article from Sheahan....

Baz has been fantastic thus far, has done everything we needed - and then some.

How much do we love Barry Hall? I love his defensive efforts too. Almost coat hangered Morrabito last week in his frenzy to get the ball. Broke the Bulldogs weight lift record too I hear;Inspiring trainer.
I really enjoy watching him play. Turning and snapping; that strut after he brings down an overhead. Brushing off opponents and giving them an in-your-face grin.

Thanks Bazza!

Speaking of Hall which starts with the letter H. Did anyone read the little snippet in Sport Confidential in todays Hun? They were referring to Brian Lake being blamed for missing a record.

Essendon broke the record of the most amount of players (7) with surnames starting with the letter H
Woofs very own TCD is quoted as saying if Lake had not changed his surname from Harris, we would have equalled it (Hall, Harbrow, Hargrave, Hill, Hudson, Hahn & Higgins)

No, we would have had 8 (there are 7 listed).
