Bradshaw v Hall???

[swansrule100]

As is so often the case, the truth lies somewhere in between.

we wont ever know what went on behind closed doors either which makes it hard to judge

[Hartijon]

Hall's playing Bradshaw's not. I just hope Bradshaw's injury is not career ending as he is just what we need. I thought BBB Hall had his moments but it was finally time to go and he knew it. Would I have him back at CHF for the Carlton game??? YES!

i thought in 2009 when playing he looked sharp 31 goals in his 11 games. His discipline was a little off last year, getting suspended against adelaide, but it was pretty soft and the umpires and media gave him a pretty rough ride. The are players who have worse runs of discipline than he ever gave us, mooney, franklin to name 2. Its not as bad as people seem to want to bang on about, the worse one was the stupid staker one, but the others were probably made worse because it was hall.

But thats digging up old news. I still think on form he showed last year he was good for us and this year hes been great for another club, and the way our forward line has been this year i think its sillly to think he couldnt of improved our side by staying

what a load of rubbish he gave his heart and soul for the club

Spot on.

Please don't.

Blind Barry got a flag with the swans ... it's what he wanted.

He eased back on the gas once he got what he wanted; and the quickest way to get out of a contract is to be an arsehole.

Do you really? This year's Hall or last year's Hall?

I'm glad last year's Hall has gone and doubt if he would have reinvented himself without being sacked. So retaining him wasn't really an option. There were many games over the past two seasons when he was either the most frustrating Swans player on the ground, sooking to other team members or the umpires - or he was sulking and skulking in the stands, serving yet another suspension for a stupid undisciplined brain snap. If I'd been his boss I would have sacked him - and I'm glad the Swans felt ther same way.

I should now say that I'm glad to see him doing so well at the Doggies. But I'm not. If he had any character he would have been able to turn himself around at the Swans. He was certainly given enough chances. Likewise, I get a bit of a kick to see that Mummy leads Jolly (and his wife) in hitouts this season. On the other hand, Amon (and Scott Stephens) was/were pushed out through no fault of his/their own (except falling of the pace) and I'm happy to see them do well at their new club(s).

[Jewels]

barry is having a good season and good luck to him.

I believe we are still better off this year without him, even if he wins the coleman.

hall should still be in the red and white. Im glad he is doing well he deserves success been a bloody great player. Look at where he was in about 2000 and look at what he turned himself into hes been awesome

[Plugger46]

Any chance we could compare them when they're both playing? Bradshaw was matching Hall quite easily when he wasn't injured.

I know that, just thought I'd bring this up for all those who said he was finished.
