The Aaron Hall Thread

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Taken from BigFooty, a former teammate of Jeremy Howe in Tasmania, a very smooth mover, quick, strong hands and good disposal.

Worth a look.

[Whispering_Jack 28,010]

I'm not usually a fan of highlights videos but that was superimpressive.

If he's 20 years old and playing in the main comp. in Tassie, then he can be traded for an uncontracted player pick from GWS. Well worth doing, especially if we can trade out a couple of players.

I'm the same, he looks like an AFL player to me.

Agree WJ. Does look good. Can you arrange it.

Looks good doesn't he, hope the club have had a look at him.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

After having a second look, reminds me a little of Ben Cousins, purely by the way he moves.

His short/mid passes DO NOT MISS. Good hands, kicks plenty of goals, and is lightening quick ... get him.

[Clanger King 9]

Looks very impressive. Seems to have that speed that Sam Blease has, moves quick without knowing it. The way you can tell is by the blokes chasing him get the Cale Hooker head wobble. Video highlights and exactly what they are. Highlights. What's the back ground on him?

[Clanger King 9]

Kicked 34 goals in 17 games. And got named 5 times in the best.. Obviously was playing forward early then moved into the midfield because a lot of his goals were in rounds 1-5. Only being in the best 5 times shows that he didn't exactly set the world on fire. Also think he was named in the Tasmanian state team. Don't know if he played Tassie Under 18s.

This is the most impressive highlights video you will ever see! He has everything - pace, good mark, good kick, takes the game on etc.

Someone with a skill set like that should be tearing a Tassie competition apart. With only 5 times in the best he must have some serious work rate issues...

He looks far too fast for the guys he's playing against in Tassie. I do wonder what his pace would look like when he's facing some of the better running half backs and mids at AFL level, but it would be good to find out. One other thing I noted was that he seemed a little selfish in some of those passages, running loops around opponents rather than passing. It looks great, but it only takes one of those guys to get a grip and he's suddenly a dud.

All that being said, damn he looked impressive. He can kick, he hits the packs with pace and takes the ball cleanly and as has been noted, his short passing game is very good. He obviously plays all over the park, although I'd like to see us take him as a small forward. Certainly worth either dealing with GWS or just drafting him. Could we get lucky in the second round again?

What about WJ's suggestion of doing a pick swap with GWS to get him now. Sure it is speculative but he looks so exciting.

Interesting commentary on some of that footage. Just retired, handy cricketer, very good golfer and a nice bloke too. (Brett Geeves)

Highlights looked really good. Most so in matches at Bellerive Oval against Clarence because you know he would have had good opponents then.

What about Robbie Campbell to GWS for Hall picked by them and ontraded. They need a ruckman desperately and he is a Premiership ruckman and very good club man.If Hall didn't make it you haven't lost much. Alternatively a pick upgrade for GWS as trade. Our 72 for their 80.

[Whispering_Jack 28,010]

As much as I'd like to help I'm in Frankston at the moment and can't work miracles although I might be able to duck down the road to Seaford and see what I can do with Brendan Goddard.

The complication is that GWS can activate ten uncontracted players under the rule and most are spoken for.

They signed James McDonald last month and have traded six so far this trade period (Steven Morris, Marty Clarke, Jamie Elliott, Ahmed Saad, Terry Milera and Luke Brown). They are expected to keep Western Jet Adam Kennedy and Casey defender Tim Mohr which leaves one spot open.

I understand that Sheedy would love to get Andrew Lovett into the club but he has to convince his board who aren't so keen.

And I'm not sure that the GWS are going to be easy to deal with over their last choice under the rule.

Still, we've just learned what perseverance can achieve.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

GWS are not going to be easy to deal with, but it would be worth having a word to them. If we could get this guy on the cheap I think we'd be pretty happy.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Get him.

[Dee Zephyr 17,717]

I love this site but i don't post often. How do we get this bloke? Looks like he can run all day like scully, can kick better than scully, can mark and goal better than scully. I realise it's not the strongest league but geez there are worse running around in the AFL. This kid should get snapped up!

We've been wondering that very thing. GWS has one pick left to pre-list a player and possibly trade him on. We could get him that way. They've been trading guys from this set pretty cheaply to other clubs, so who knows what they'd ask of us? In a few cases they've given players for second and third round pick upgrades, and that would be an absolute bargain.

If we couldn't get him through GWS and he were still available, the National draft would be the way to go. We might get lucky and grab him with our first pick (round 2), but in a weak draft I can see him going quite early. I doubt he'd slip to the PSD or Rookie drafts, although you can never tell what will happen on the day.

This boy will be In demand. Gws may want him for themselves.

Good luck getting him.

Agreed on all fronts. So we ask for just a little more luck from the Football Gods and try to get our hands on him prior to the draft if at all possible. Give them Warnock and a third round pick. Hell, give them a second round pick. It'd be worth it.

Then they could have pre listed him.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Could they, I haven't kept up with these GWS rules.

He looks very good through traffic with speed as well + acceleration off the mark. Nice kick and thinks on his feet.

Looks great.

You can certainly get sucked in by highlight reels and I along with many other Demonlanders have been in this case.
