    "How Hall gets his kicks" - SMH article

    Sydney Morning Herald artilce, interview with Roos about Hall not kicking as many at home and why that's okay with him:

    Goals aren't how Hall gets his kicks
    http://www.smh.com.au/news/afl/how-hall-gets-his-kicks/2006/07/27/1153816321589.html
    Barry Hall has goals, but they don't always get the Swans six points, writes Michael Cowley.



    "Hally doesn't worry about goals or how many he kicks at the SCG. He's very unselfish, like all the guys, which makes us a better team."
    Is it just me, or is that a bit pointed? Maybe all this ND hoopla is doing my head in.....

      Most misleading headline for a story.
      Ever.
      And you can't find nothing at all,
      If there was nothing there all along.

          It's strange spin.

          Hall and the Swans have not done well at the SCG this year. Part of it is we do not kick enough goals, so I can't see how they can say "But we don't focus too much on his goals."

          Games at the SCG this year.

          Game 1 v. Port
          Swans 11 goals, lost
          Hall 11d, 4m, 2.0g, 0t
          Davis 21d, 9m, 2.3g, 2t
          O'Loughlin 5d, 3m, 2.0g, 1t

          Game 2 v. Melbourne
          Swans 13 goals, lost
          Hall 8d, 4m, 3.1g, 2t
          Davis 9d, 3m, 1.1g, 3t
          O'Loughlin 3d, 1m, 1.0g, 1t

          Game 3 v. W.Bulldogs
          Swans 17 goals, won
          Hall 20d, 11m, 5.3g, 3t
          Davis 24d, 11m, 3.1g, 6t
          O'Loughlin 6d, 1m, 0.1g, 0t

          Game 4 v. St.Kilda
          Swans 7 goals, lost
          Hall 5d, 2m, 1.0g, 2t
          Davis 11d, 1m, 0.2g, 3t
          O'Loughlin 14d, 3m, 0.1g, 1t

          Game 5 v. Fremantle
          Swans 12 goals, won
          Hall 9d, 4m, 0.3g, 1t
          Davis 17d, 6m, 4.3g, 1t
          O'Loughlin 19d, 7m, 2.4g, 0t

          Game 6 v. Adelaide
          Swans 8 goals, lost
          Hall 14d, 12m, 0.4g, 2t
          Davis 9d, 7m, 1.1g, 1t
          O'Loughlin 17d, 7m, 1.3g, 3t

          Game 7 v. Richmond
          Swans 14 goals, won
          Hall 16d, 10m, 2.2g, 1t
          Davis dnp
          O'Loughlin 10d, 7m, 3.1g, 2t

          Averages
          Swans 11.7 goals, 3 wins 4 losses

          Hall 11.9d, 6.7m, 1.9-1.9g, 1.6t

          Davis 15.2d, 6.2m, 1.8-1.8g, 2.7t

              He certainly ran out onto the ground...

                  Apologies - my error. I was thinking that he had missed the last two games, so I transposed that onto the last two games of this. Fixed now.
