    Might be time for Visy - Hells Angels - Carlton Crew to put their hat in the ring again.

    One of the top teams will grab him. Can see him going to one of Collingwood, Bulldogs or Saints.

    Saints have two good forwards and probably no room in the cap.

    Pies will probably not want anyone who can interfere with club discipline.

    Dogs would appear to be a nice fit for a year or two.

    I wonder if the Swans are keen on Hawkins. They need another presence up there after Bazza. It's important for Sydney. From an AFL perspective. Geelong may consider...?

    Imagine him in Geelongs forward line with Mooney :)

    I actually think Geelong shoudl consider him, it means that next year they would once again be a massive shot at the flag.

    You would think that Geelong would struggle to fit him in their cap. With Rocca finished if I was a betting man I would be going with Collingwood.

    i think Geelong have the greatest need for a FF at present, imagine how damaging Hall would be at the cats with the supply he would be getting

    Mooney and Hall in the same forward line would have backmen watching their back :wacko:

    Saints should get him...then Mcguire can use him as a punching bag in the off season.

    I am still FURIOUS he was allowed to play in the 2005 Grand Final Side. Hall is & always was a cheap Dog (remember 1998 First Semi Against the Saints???-I do).

    Good Riddance to you Festival. How dare you wear a premiership Medallion.....

    Chill baby. Grudges like that can kill you.

    I have no problem with the flag medallion. At his peak he was an elite player. From when I saw him in a practice match at Visy park, he was a cheap schoolyard bully who chose to "fight" Garland and Morton and not go the football contest. Its over. There have been many worse who have won medallions and been ordinary footballers.

    The Dogs might punt on him but its definitely caveat emptor.

    It's being treated wierdly up here, like he is being disloyal abandoning the Swans now, even if he wants out at seasons end leaving now is being regarded with little merit.

    That being said......

    Barry Hall, Sydney Swans go separate ways after colourful AFL relationship

    I too am a bit split on this one......

    He should have served a suspension. I mean seriously you really shouldn't be able to punch a guy in the guts, miles off the ball and be rewarded with a Grand Final appearance.

    That being said I wanted the Swans to win so having him there was of great benefit.

    But he still punched Maguire, and should have served the penalty dished out to so many other players throughout the course of the season.

    But his penalty was not his concern, it was the AFL's, and they let him play so he played and they won, so you can't really blame Hall for wearing a Premiership medallion with pride.

    The AFL wanted Sydney to win that Flag no doubt. The same thing happened in '96 with Dunkley. Remember they had the Hearing after the GF! What a joke.

    If the same thing Happened at a Melbourne club a suspension would have been given.

    Festival Hall will be remembered as a cheap Thug & nothing more.....

    Whatever your opnion of Hall is you cant take away his status of reaching elite level which the majority of players will never do

    Far too late to start a boxing career at his age if his sights are against world class standard

    Doubt another club will pick him up either

  • Quote

    Bulldogs might bite, maybe. Their lack of a true power KPF has held them back from really threatening in finals for a few years now. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed interest. Although i wouldn't be surprised if they (or anyone else) didn't.

    He's a nut. Great footballer, but absolute lunatic, and on the wrong side of 30. I'm not sure how clubs will react.

    I guess i'm just glad he won't be considered by us, Bail's has done a great job getting the culture at our club back on track.

    [quote name='why you little' date=

    I agree with you, "why you little". I also reckon his skill level has been over-rated in recent seasons. He has a lot of trouble taking a mark over his head, and isn't a very reliable kick for goal. He DID play well in that GF he should never have been in.

  • Quote

    I'd say given his age and the circumstances of him leaving Sydney, I don't think there'd be too many clubs who'd want him. It did mention in the 4 pm news this afternoon he wanted to go into boxing, which I think for him would be quite apt :)

    I would happily take him at Melbourne... teach the midfield how to kick to a leading fwd and give the club some much needed agression (no one game doesn't make aggression) his culture on the club wouldn't be a bad things and he is supposed to be a good trainer and works hard no off field incidents more issues on the field which I couldn't give a sh^t about it as its not like he is snorting a ounce up his nose every week. Plus imagine the media for Melbourne it would certain help that as well (even if he didn't hit anyone :rolleyes: )

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
