2009 Rate a Season: #1 Barry Hall

You know you want to ...

I gave him a five for the first half of the season. I was going to give him a 1 ... just because I can.

I think he made up his mind early on that the only way to get out of the Swans was by resorting back to thuggery.

Betya his on his best behaviour at the doggies!!

[Plugger46]

Form was really good and will be good for the 'Dogs if he keeps his head. Thought his departure could have been handled better but let's not get into that again ;)

Gave him a 6, would've been about an 8 if he'd played the whole season at the same level.

[caj23]

Could only give him a 1

While his form was decent, his behaviour against the Hawks was petulant and the hit on Rutten was unforgivable.

He clearly wasn't right since the Staker hit and the move to the Doggies was inevitable.

5 - a season of two halves

[Big Al]

Threw any form that he was displaying out the door with his behaviour. 1/10

However I do hope he gets his act together and plays well at the dogs.

[ScottH]

tough one.

Reasonable form up until his "retirement".

3. :(

ok at times in games, but gets no points on what counts the most - contributing to team success.

He'll need to be on his best behaviour next year - the AFL is looking at refining the tribunal system so that regular attendees get whacked a lot more than others. With his record - if he sneezes on someone it will cost him a month.

Part of me wants him to belt someone next year to prove conclusively the responsibility for his behaviour is all his (which it is). Recent rubbish from the man himself and Rocket about the dogs style of play being less likely to inflame him motivates this feeling!

3 at the most. A dissapointing end to a terrific career with the Swans.

[Lucky Knickers]

He had some great games where he got involved and second efforts were excellent and then some @@@@ty petulant hands on hips arms in the air sook fests.
4/10 from me for being next to useless and retiring.

I thought he was playing very well when he was in the team. The 'Hawkgate' incident was instigated by a **** of an umpire who decided to victimise Bazza to ensure we didn't get over the line. Individually, none of the three were worth 50m penalties IMO.
'Crowgate' was stupid on his behalf because he should have known he was under the microscope.
I docked a couple of points because he quit when he did and didn't see out the season, although that did give MySpace (that's what we called him originally) the chance to shine.
Good luck at the Bulldogs, now my early premiership pick.

5/10.

Quitter. :mad:

Simply doesnt learn, shame because he really was a star with us.
Will always remember the Good Bazza.
The Bad Bazza is a thug. Wont miss defending his bad decision making;)

Uncontrollable thug who, when he wasnt throwing his fists around, spent more on field time sulking and complaining than trying to play good football.

Dud, get rid of him.

A season hampered by injuries, wowsers and umpires. Looked to be in great form but was the constant target of umpires, opposition and Swans Coaching staff. Had he been offered the same protections as say Lloyd or even better still, Riewoldt, we would of had another Coleman medallist in Sydney.

Best of luck to you BBBBH.

[ShockOfHair]

I gave him a 4 for his petulance.

While I really like the bloke and the player, I'm glad he's gone.

3/10

Played half a season of footy, his average disposals and marks were down (10.1 and 5.8 per game respectively) though he still managed to kick 31 goals. He had some really good games this year but couldn't keep the thug attitude away. I hope the Doggies can keep him on the leash.
