      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

          I'm still giving him a passmark - 6/10.

            Needs more eye surgery if his marking was anything to go by. However he still kicked 40+ goals so he gets a 5.001/10.

              6/10 - though a bad season for him would be a great season by someone else's standards ... it's all comparative.

                I think that sums it up. Are we judging him by his standards or by some absolute standard?

                  I guess we're judging by what we expect from him and according to how much he is being paid. He had an awesome season by Grundy's standards, but that's not particularly meaningful.

                    Hall's season was disappointing based on the high standards he set in previous years.

                      That why I gave him a 4, but equated that to about a 5.5 across the board.

                          4.5/10 - well below expected and usual standard.

                          While it is agreed that delivery into the forward line was generally poor, Hall could not take a mark at night and continued to give away often petty or stupid free kicks.

                          Hopefully he will be injury free next season and is able to provide the long and multiple leading centre half forward of 2005 and 2006.

                          He obviously plays the CHF role much better than the stay at home full forward as he was easily double-teamed and then started to try and take 'screamers' out of frustration - don't remember him holding one either.

                          Cheers

                            Disappointing season by Barry Hall's standards. Injuries played a big factor but he struggled with marking and the new rule interpretations. I'm hopeful that he'll return fitter and raring to go next season and without the responsibility of captaincy so he can concentrate on getting back to his level of play seen in '05 and '06.

                              5/10 for me.
                              I know he was carrying an injury or two, but my score was more reflective of his attitude. He carried on like a pork chop continuously over absolutely everything. We all complained about how Hall focussed they were, but his carry on, on the rare occasion that they didn't kick it to him, was dreadful.
                              Hopefully without the burden of captaincy, he might be able to control himself and focus better.

                                4/10 - a bit harsher then others but he was woeful by his own high standards. Whether it was all down to the injury or what we often looked better without him there. I have faith though that we will see the real BBB reappear next year fully fit and ready to go.
