"How Hall gets his kicks" - SMH article

[HighFlying]

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

"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.

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."

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.
