Team Glory Vs Personal Achievements

[LittleSchneider]

Okay agree with that, but he had opportunities in the 2nd and 3rd with relatively easy shots that he could have knocked over in his sleep. Hall doesnt usually give away easy shots like that.

yeah it was interesting to say the least but it just shows where his priorities lie

or maybe he has been speaking to warneys and mark waughs bookmaker

One all? Is the above even in English? It reads more like a hospital pass than a 6-pointer.

Spelling police:
Personal or personnel?

Once again, it alters the meaning. But that's just me being picky.

They arent mutually exclusive.

coleman > short pass practice against a team tanking.

IMO well done Hall. Showed that he is ready to step up as leader of the side and put team pursuits ahead of personal glory. In his early days he may not have done that. Just goes to show how much he has matured as a player.

With a Brownlow, only one player (occasionally more) gets a medal. Same with the Coleman.

But with a flag, everyone who plays gets a premiership medallion.

No it's not just you - 'personal' and 'personnel' are different words, with completely different meanings! Someone's got to point these things out...

I think what you saw of Baz on Saturday, and I'd say throughout the season, is simply what comes naturally. The guy is pure class. All year long he was improving scoring opportunities when he could well have had a crack.

The beauty of this is he's been playing this way even when the going was tough yet he persisted throughout and now is reaping the benefit of leading a team firing on all cylinders.

what i meant was that i'd rather us be holding the premiership cup than having a coleman or brownlow winner and no cup.

thats what u play footy for - team success and i'm happy with the way barry is going about it

This game was one of those that was would rank in the 'ordinary' and defiantely not all that important matches.

If we were playing the Saints or Crows and we were only up by 2, then I completely agree with what Bloods has said and Hall should do whats best for the team, but he had a chance in a match that wasnt all that crucial. Should have had a go, especially in the third and fourth quaters.

Nup. He's made a big statement to all the boys... "I don't play for personal gratification, I play for the Bloods. Let's kick some arse in the finals."

Exactly. Buckley loves his coleman

Heard him on 2UE last night on the way home. They asked the same question of him. His answer says it all (significantly paraphrased):

"In a game against a team like that, with no offence to Hawthorn, but a team low on the ladder, its easy to start getting selfish. I thought that if I ignored the Coleman and made sure we won the game it would send a signal to the boys that we had to keep playing as a team. And thats not disrespecting the Coleman medal either, as I would love to have had one. Plus I love to bring the other players into the game."

Excellent comments by Hall. Really outstanding!
