Bazza is off to ...

[Lohengrin]

I thought the Swans said they were keen to help Hall get to the club of his choice?

[Cardinal]

Hall back to Saints - THEORY !!

[sharp9]

CTS...I guess you are speaking to the very small minority taking a ridiculously high moral road...the rest of us are treating Barry like ans ex-girlfriend....it's just not going to work with us...but that doesn't mean she's not good enough for some other bloke!

The tool can go wherever he wants.

He cost us the Hawthorn game (at least) this year, not to mention others he didn't play - so if we can make up for that in some way (a highr pick) - we should.

Bargain hard. Nothing to lose.

[Reggi]

He's been a star for us and I wish him well

we should have traded him last year really, but I wish him well

No Hall no 2005 Premiership

Seems there are 4-5 clubs who are trading with the expectation they can win the GF next year

Yep, only focus on the bad points as always

Wow - so he cost us in the games he did play in , and cost us in the games he didnt play in - Geez poor bugger couldnt win either way

[AnnieH]

One minute most people here are happy to completely dump Hall from the side and let him drift off into AFL nothingness.

Now, everyone is in debate about what we should be getting for him.

Surely those who advocate his dismissal from the Swans (and therefore, based on his behaviour, AFL in general) should be sticking to their guns and suggesting that Barry should not be playing for any team because of his anger issues and be demanding that he is simply delisted.

Probably because for once, we have something to trade with. I for one am sick of getting nothing for nothing.

Let him play elsewhere and be someone else's problem.
The Melbourne media will eat him alive anyway.

It does make you wonder doesn't it?

They'll love him now, you just watch - it's already started.

I hope another team comes into the picture now and they miss out, if that's the attitude they have.

There is another team.

When I started this thread it wasn't an opinion piece, it was based on fact from an impeccable source.

Since then the Hawks have become more bullish on Burgoyne which may have softened their desire to chase Hall hard due to no room in the salary cap. If they snare Burgoyne they may not be able to offer Hall the promised contract.

The Bulldogs have also since been bundled out agonisingly short again and their resolve to grab Hall may have strengthened.

The bottom line, if the Bulldogs think they can offer the Swans peanuts because nobody else is interested, they are very much mistaken.

[Reggi]

Triple you seem confident still....

I think 5-6 teams will consider themselves premiership chance next year, which will add

[Triple B]

Triple you seem confident still....

Certainly not as confident as when I posted, due to the factors I mentioned above, but my mail at the time was certainly correct that the Hawks had agreed to take him, obviously subject to the Swans brokering a suitable deal.

If Hall is forced into the pre-season draft, I'd imagine the Hawks would be fairly well placed with picks before the Bulldogs, Essendon and Carlton which have been among the clubs 'reported' to have shown interest.
