The Aaron Hall Thread

Straight Sets Simon
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
