Thread: Barry Hall and his motor

  1. #13
    Any other player and he'd be in hot contention for the Brownlow.

    Although I am as sceptical about the umpires as anyone, Baz could be worth a lazy $20.

    I have never seen him limp off with any injury let alone miss a match. I hope for our sake his injury number is not coming up.

    Ditto. The only time i can think of him coming close was late last year, maybe against Port, where he took a mark and got up walking like he had a rock in his boot. Lasted all of 2 minutes.

    Yes - it was in the final against Port in the first quarter. I thought - oh no - we are in serious trouble. Just a minute later the ball came back, he jumped up and marked it, kicked a goal and away he went!!

    But it seems unfair to criticise him on any aspect really, because he is as close to a complete footballer as you could want. His work rate and athleticism is awesome for such a large man and it's one area where he runs rings around the almighty Lockett.
    I know there were times when Plugger went missing, even in the couple of year prior to his "Come back " year, But Plugger at one time had an excelent work rate.
    Many many times I witnessed him work hard to win a ball on the ground into his possesion only to find himeslf surrounded by defenders. In this situation Big Plugger would always be looking to off load by hand to someone in a better position and I have to say he almost invariably never got caught out in this situation. He was an excelent team player when it came to roving and he had a great sense of where his team mates where in the forwrd 50. Admittedly mostly they were out of his way.

    I think Liz's point is how many times did we see Plugger leading or really chasing up a player outside of the 50. Sure it happened, but nowhere near as much as it does with Bazza.

    His lack of injuries is something I have been taking for granted. Hadn't really thought about it. To me he's just dependable and will run out every week, no question about it. It would be awesome if this was to continue. He really is becoming the catalyst of the team.

    A double reply

    1 LOVE STRUCK) There was a photo of BBBH and his new gal (N Kidman) where she is reaching down to shake his hand, he apparently says my name is Barry and she says something like yes "I know" and that "you did very well".

    2 INJURY) in one photo with his new gal he has ice on his ankle.

    Jeez I hope BB does not get all love struck... look at Tiger Woods and little Leyton since the Love word got the better of them.

    Mind on the job BBBH!!!

    Word is she went back to Barry's after the match to help with his recovery!

    I bet Lenny Kravitz has never taken 13 marks.....he might have got six straight though I suppose?

    On this piont I agree, Plugger was a great inside forwrd 50 player, but he certainly did not tend to stray from his comfort Zone.
