Big Bad "Boofhead" Barry Hall

[liz]

Heard an interesting one over a couple of beers on Friday night. Hall has a pretty serious wrist injury and has been playing on injections.

So that makes groin, ankle, knee, wrist AND hamstrings.

As well as eye trouble. Baz should be on a disability pension.

He may get the week off if the MRP look at his hit on Ball and whether it was head high. Incidentally what are his carry over points etc from the incident on Maguire week before GF in 2005?

I know you never can tell with the MRP, but with that incident the Saints player was falling as contact was made, so he really shouldn't have a case to answer.....

Did he ever get over that broken hand of his?

Davis is just as bad. Just doesn't do enough.

Davis and Hall are hardly comparable. Yeah Davis is inconstant, but you just know he can win you games on his own will power alone. BBBBH is supposed to be a goal kicker, week in, week out.

He's still our leading goal kicker.

Sure he hasn't been anywhere near as good as this year, but to say he's nearly a liability is irrational.

Still takes the number 1 defender which makes it easier for the likes of McVeigh, Schneider etc to score. Even at his worst he is better than Grundy or Vogels as the opposition can't take the chance with him.

And what does that have to do with that post???

When i started this thread the crux of starting it was to deal with his lack of discipline that could of cost us a goal late in the game. Something you would not expect from the captain.

Lack of form withstanding he is still a valuable member of the team even to take the number 1 defender and become the decoy.

Yep, I don't get pissed off when he has a bad game. From all accounts he's playing injured, and everyone (even BBB) has bad games, even bad seasons. I get pissed off when he gives away frees like he did on Sat night that are ill-disciplined and absolutely unnecessary. I was so, so angry after the push in the back.

Mate, that drove me absolutely nuts as well. As soon as Hall got benched after Gilbert got that poster i shouted out "And stay off the @@@@ing field Barry, You Idiot."

I really wasn't happy haha.

Who was worse on Sat, BBBBH or "Wee on Women" boy?

Wee Willy Wonker was much worse. Big Beamish Busrling Barry never stopped trying, kicked the best point of the season and generally created fear and loathing amongst the sainters defense. Wee Willie's overuse wrist injury got worse during the game (as it always does when he is trounced) and ended up having his useless arse parked on the pine.

I would expect the same discipline from Leo & Kirk, but they have given away a few 50's this year too and had some very ordinary games.
