    Barry Hall tells suitors he's ready to play.....

    Link

    This article seems to confirm what I have been trying to 100% confirm over the past few months, Hall still has bargaining power for us in trade week.

    Funny how the Swans are now trying to put their tongue in appropriate places after having effectively dumped Hall.
    Trying to get something for him?
    We deserve to get nothing.
    But if we can get something, then great.
    Good to see that Hall still has faith in himself where so many others have given up on him.
    You'd have thought that after all my pro Hall comments, he'd have added me as a Facebook friend

    If he wants to play then trading him will benfit him but in truth has nothing for us other than knowing we helped out a former club great.

    If it was to the Bulldogs, it will be likely for their 4th or 5th pick, which does nothing more than move our 5th of 6th pick up 4 to 8 places depending on where they finish.

    The deal provides us with no bargaining power what so ever unless the Dogs were stupid enough to accept Hall and our second pick for Lake.

    Read the article CureTheSane, he needs us to trade to be able to assist him be able to sort out where he is going before the PSD in order to get a full pre season with his new club.

    It is very likely he has spoken to Horse and Roos and asked to be traded and not de-listed.

    Good luck to the big guy, hope he does well, unless he is playing against our boys-then I hope he has the worst game of his life

    If there is really 2 or 3 clubs interested, of course we have some bargaining power to get something more than pick 99 for him.

    If he's not under contract can't he choose where he wants to go?

    Nope.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    If he wants to take Karmichael's place in the NRL he can.

    Any other team who takes him on will suffer from the same one-dimensional clutter that we did. So let's hope he plays on!!

    So much better to have multiple options... Goodes, White and even the old MOL has shown signs of life. Add Johnston, Vespa and perhaps MOD into the mix and our forward line in 2010 will be FAR better than the predictable Hall-dominated model.

    Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.
