Kevin Bartlett on Triple M has said that "Aaron Hall, whose form has wavered at various times, looks a world beater sometimes…he also could be gettable for a club that wants to come to the Suns with the right offer."

Just what Melbourne we need to add to their midfield mix, can break the lines and gives the midfield some x factor.

Whats his source?

Doesn't need a source as he is speculating. Said he "could" be gettable not he "is" gettable.  

Here is one from me, Danger and Martin could be gettable.

Haha. I had a dream this morning that Goody had him coming to the Dees...

He is very gettable and he has come up as a trade target this 2nd half of the year. 27yr old.

He would fit nicely into the side. I think he needs to lower his eyes a little at times as he can blaze away and try and do it all by himself.

Explosive player! Match winner.

Meh. Can get a bit of the footy but strikes me as a player who doesn't do anything damaging with it. Doesn't hit a target as often as he should and doesn't put in the hard yards defensively.

There's a Facebook page named The North Melbourne Shinboners that mentions Norf chasing Hall and Trent McKenzie.

Haven't we already discussed Hall in the trade rumours thread? Anyway, as I said in that thread, he has the very odd game where he looks like a world beater, but he's a turnover merchant most of the time. He reminds me of another Harmes, which we don't need. Runs hard, gets into good positions, but usually bites off more than he can chew with his kicking.

And like Harmes, is a dangerous forward option.  Use him as a small forward rather than a mid and his turnovers are less of an issue.

He was a Demonland special in his draft year- his highlight package litvthis place up.

I very much doubt the gc would want to part with him.

Would be a fringe player like Harmes at best. Dont see him as a priority personally.

I am a fan, and reckon Goodwin/Roos mantra of "from the contest out" might rapidly improve his game. I dont have the sense of him being a turnover king.

 But he is definitely not  a primary target.

Why is Harmes a fringe player at best? And Hall... Please explain.

Now that Gaff is out of the picture. Talk is Hall would be available for a 2nd round pick territory due to his inconsistency.

He has been in a terrible environment but with someone like Lewis in his ear he could come good. Will be 27 at the end the year. Could be the icing on top to our midfield.

Thought he was younger than that, would definately have a crack if he comes at a reasonable price.

He's soft as butter and mentally weak. A few good hits and a tag and his March form disappears every year.

We need outside run but not at the cost of adding a player who will go to water in September (if we make ever make it).

Get our young mids fitter and faster and then look for some running players in the draft rather than take on speculative types.

Yeah, let's stick with the quality finals players we have that can't make it into the finals.

Hall would be a really handy pick up IMO.  Who is shovelling it out to him at Gold Coast?  The only bloke there that can win it is Ablett and then he gets the Clearance as well.

I think Hall would be a good fit to complement Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw and add some acceleration away from stoppages.

If you said to me we get a pick 30 for Watts and then send that to GC, I'd do it.  I'd prefer an inconsistent lightning fast, line-breaking midfielder to an inconsistent half forward.

Hall would be a good pickup but Watts would be a miss regardless even if you want to shoot me down.

Yes we can pick him up but he has been inconsistent himself and hasn't played consistently since the start of 2016 when he had several good....plus 30 disposals.  ANYWAY JW hasn't flown the coup yet.

Some players just need a fresh start. I think Hall is one and also Watts. They will both be better off moving clubs.

Hall to Dees? Yes.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
