"I think it is a trap for teams for guys to go individually and play their own game and that was certainly one of the focuses during the week we did not want to do," Hall said.
"I thought if anyone wanted to go selfish it would be myself, and if guys were seeing me do all the team things and hand off and not worry about individual medals or accolades, then everyone had to follow."
"It wasn't deliberate. I do that every week. I was not going to not pass just because of the Coleman Medal."

Finally RWO reaches the point where Baz meets Noam Chomsky and the quest in linguistics for meaning.
I'm NOT saying that this is what Baz should have said. In fact I said that his answer was a gem of getting the message across without worrying about verbal niceties. I've noticed that before - Baz is very precise with targetting his answers. That'll be vital as the Swans captain.
But if I submitted his reply in a book manuscript or to a newspaper I'd have an editor on the phone within seconds. When queried, I answered as a sub-editor would.
Similiarly, a writer friend of mine claims that the whole Bill and Monica problem came about through indistinct accent and culinary difficulties so Bill actually said "sack my cook" in his fluent Arkansas accent.Comment
