Is Hall finished?

[ShockOfHair]

It's too early to say but it's the question we need to be asking.

If he doesn't regain form he'll become our biggest problem -- the Swans really struggle to take inside 50 marks.

But it's early days and he's moving a lot better. I suspect it's a confidence thing, so let's see how he goes on the SCG this weekend.

The other question is, after Hall and MickeyO, who will be our big marking forwards? Playfair and Reg? Keep ROK in the forward 50?

We will just have to wait and see how he goes I guess. If I was Paul Roos I would give him to about round 10 to start producing.

Most sensible post you have made in this thread!

I wouldn't have played him in th 06 GF. I was upset when he was named as we destroyed hawthorn the week before without him.
His reputation is greater than his ability.
Bye Hally

This poll is pretty black & white. We either think he's finished or we don't? I'm not sure yet!

I agree with some posters here that we should give them more time to prove himself, but I think he's reached his pass due date (as per my vote). I think he peaked in 2005 and now he's on his way down. I never believed he could carry our FW line alone and that he's struggling also we're struggling to score and win games. I don't mind if he stays and assist our FW line, but he should no longer be our focal point there.

[JudesaGun]

Has it occured to any of these dickheads writing off Hall, that if he wasn't in the team our next best forward (???) would be faced with the best defender and possibly a double team every week?

Give the man a few weeks to produce FFS.

It seems like it's the same @@@@heads every year writing off the Swans after 30 seconds. If all employers doubted their employees after such a short time frame, most of Australia would be out of a job.

So who do you suggest be our focal point? Because it m,ay just be me, but we have NO ONE even close to him as a forward target.

Well, that is why we are struggling. It will have to be ROK, Davis or Grundy. Aren't they suppose to be our forwards as well? Or perhaps finding a young gun to replace him.

yes it's like that. The same old people having the same old dig at Hall and Roosy. This all stems back from when Davis was dropped and all the Davis Fanbois decided to gang up on Roos.

To them it seems Paul Roos is the anti-christ and has done nothing but put our club 5 years behind everyone else, regardless that we played our last GF 18 months ago and were premiers a mere 2 years ago.

It gets boring and the best thing to do is ignore it but sometimes it gets too much (hence why i finally joined after lurking for so long) and makes you wonder if these so called experts think they are bigger than Roos and the club. I can't see any of these people with a premiership achievement.

I would love to see these people discuss their expert opinions with roos face to face. i am betting most of them would crumble and just stutter their way through utter crap and end up agreeing with Roos and just nodding their heads.

How about showing a bit more respect for both Hall and Roos who have given the club everything and ensured that us fans would know what it feels to win a flag after so long rather than show utter contempt for two legends of the club. Would be nice for a change.

Glad to see that you have at least some sort of change of heart Robbo
Like I said responding to your thread , dont think his finished yet.
Sure like every player he will be under the pump, some of the crap that has gone on here today is a joke.
Lets hope Barry turns his form around and a few of the knobs on here will turn around with him and then jump on his bandwagon.
