Barry Hall v Swans

[Midfield]

I have grave concerns that there is one more chapter left in the great man's swans book. Big ground with no B2 or LRT spells trouble if you ask me. Heres hoping the MRP rub him out for whatever he tried to do to Harry or whatever he said to the Ump.

I'd be surprised if BBBBHall got rubbed out for next week. Watching Offsiders they didn't think there was much in it and that's probably so. I think he'd be unlucky to not play.

Bazza free to play!

No charge to answer for the strike allegation and a fine for arguing. I guess we can't complain too much...we did get the unrough end of the pineapple in GF week, 2005

hall free to play - oh well.....

I wonder if that would have been the finding if he still played in the red and white?

Big Bad Bazza has been a little off the boil. Still great, but inconsistent. We should be able to limit his impact. He's always going to kick a few so what we need to make sure of is that no-one else in the Dogs team kicks a few. I think we'll get it right. I'm happy for him to play. Makes for a great story. Baz will be trying hard to get the dogs back up off the ropes and we'll be trying our hardest to land the final knockout blow to their season and Johnno's career. Their confidence is down, ours is up. They've looked defeated the last few weeks and I can imagine they are going to throw everything at us on Saturday. We need to soften them up early, get a few jabs in, a few straight rights. Can't wait.

Looked similar to the Rutten punch that he went for last year. Still, happy for him that he gets to play - he can swap jumpers with Kirky afterwards.

Happy to play them with Hally in, if we beat the DOGS, it goes to a new level against Reiwolt.

Hally got off,insufficient contact.

[Provost]

Is great Hall is free to play.

1. He is still a loose cannon, he'll give away a free kick or two and be a detriment to his teams morale by constantly berating them when they don't kick it to him.
2. No consistency in form, both physical and mental.
3. A victory over the Doggies would be that much sweeter with him having played.

[AnnieH]

If we're losing by A LOT; my suggestion would be (in the fourth) for Kirky to go and give him a bit of a love tap around the face.

Who's it going to hurt (other than Blind Barry of course)??

[swantastic]

Bazza will b no worry to us on satdee....jonos finished so they only hav bazza...easy to defend

[agro]

Does anyone reckon this could be Bazza's last year? If he has decided to retire and the dogs are behind on the scoreboard, he may blow another foo-foo valve in the fourth, decide go out in a blaze of glory and start swinging.

Agreed. Watching the game, I felt he played no better than he did on all those average days with Sydney. Just couldn't get his hands on the ball and spent more time flapping his arms around in frustration at not getting a free rather than putting his head down and going for it. I've seen Hall create more opportunities for himself when he has put his energy into attacking the contests. I think that's now a thing of the past.

Its an easy fix and almost every team does it with BBB, loose man in defence in-front of him. Stifles his run and frustrates him.
