There is no "I" in team, regardless if you are the best or worst player a result (even a GF) does not depend on the impact of one player on a game. In my experience of playing and watching Australian Rules, it is actually the players ranked from the bottom 1-7 players that determines the result of a game.
If Hall is playing what-ifs, maybe's and what-not over and over in his mind for the rest of his life, ditto to Ted Richards' kick that went out on the full in the last qtr when there was a two on two contest ahead with free space for the small men to gather and convert, Roberts-Thomson's first qtr on Hansen, Goodesy's first half, Buchanan's sh** the bed that resulted in a Judd goal and many more passages of play that constituted the Swans losing the GF.
Absolutely ridiculous to assume Hall is to blame and, even worse, he hasn't produced in the last two September's. I assume amnesia had set in and the journo in question was not at the GF last year and the finals against West Coast and Fremantle this year.
NB: The only time I have had a feeling that the Swans would win the flag before (and during) a season started was last year (2005) and now next year (2007). Bring it on Bazza, you star.
