In the drama of the PF and Adam's Brownlow I haven't seen a thread to thank our highest goal scorer this season.
When we've been discussing our most valuable player we've almost come to take Barry Hall for granted. Let's redress that.
Barry, it's wonderful having you on the team. Every time you take a mark I can relax knowing we have the best possible chance for a goal.
And you're a great team player. The energy you've sometimes carried into the midfield to get the team across the line when others were out of action has been astounding. And, as we found out lots of time inside 50 but also in the Port game you're a bloody good ruckman, too.
When you arrived at Sydney I thought "great - we've got ourselves a full forward show poney thug." Watching your game evolve so you just use your strength to win games - and your skills to set up goals for you or others - has been really gratifying. At the Hawks game a Hawks fan called out "you're a thug Hall" and when I called back "haven't seen much football in the past couple of years mate?" all the Swans fans smiled and nodded.
Here's a pact. If you play as you did this year we promise BBB will always stand for Big Bustling Barry. And congratulations on your Brownlow points. Who knows what's next - an umpire may actually give you all the frees you deserve?
