The Aaron Hall Thread

[Spirit of the Demon 256]

Hall is one of a number of TSL players being head hunted by VFL club Werribee which has recently appointed former Demon midfield coach as their head coach for 2012 - Werribee hunts TSL top players.

"... Hall was the TSL Tigers leading goal-scorer with 34 and finished second in their best and fairest count."

Locals consider Hall would make a rookie selection in the AFL at best.

Good call - I was taken in big time by the Sibosado and Daw highlight reels.

On the other hand, there was a fair bit of hype around Tom Rockliff after he was passed over in the draft, but that was probably supported by his TAC Cup stats.

That was only because he led the TAC cup in goalkicking, playing at FF for a bloke his size.

He always had a knack for just getting the ball and doing something with it, even if he wasn't the fastest, strongest, most skilled or whatever. Just a footy player.

Casey Sibosado was delisted by the Dockers last week after a three year stint as a rookie. He did play 1 AFL game in round 24 of this year when the club was ravaged by injury and there was nobody left to select.

The kids looks pretty good for the Gold Coast so far.

He was on Bennell...

But he does look lively and knows where the footy is. Would've been handy up forward.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He looked even better in the second game.

What to do with a super quick guy who knows how to find the footy but might have doubts over his disposal. Put him up forward and watch him look the goods. Would have been a nice pick up, oh well.

[Arsene Wenger 72]

Not fussed that we didn't get him, personally.

It was a big miss to not pick up Hall in last years draft.

Both Hall and Omeara were outstanding and shone above GC's other high draft picks.

I remember last year discussing with my family that both priority picks were overs for the number 1 pick in the mini draft. Today I admit I was wrong, the kid will be a star and we should have thrown a player in to get the deal across the line.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I have to defer to pretty well everyone on junior talent, but, that said, this kid was super impressive last night IMO.

O'meara will also clearly be an elite player in due course - spoke well too when interviewed.

Pity they're not both wearing the red and the blue in 2012.

I get the feeling we will not get anything from GWS if Sheedy can help it.

Absolutely the stand out rookie player from any of the 3 sides last night. He ultimately got disposseded but that time he grabbed the ball at a ball up running through the pack at full pace had me drooling and wishing we had taken him. we so desperately need a player who can do that
