Aaron Hall

No no no 

He looks good then goes missing. Just is a finisher. Can’t accept the clubs stance of trading out Watts and getting someone like Hall. That would be shocking hypocrisy at its finest.

You are right there. l don't think that we will pick him.

Pick 35 and late swap of picks for Aaron Hall & Tom Nicholls...

Is this your suggestion or what you've heard? I actually don't mind Nicholls as a back up, bit of a log though.

No way they would take that 


Watts & Pick 47 to Port

Aaron Young & Pick 30 to Gold Coast

Hall & Pick 57 to Melbourne

Trade Pick 57 to Freo for Balic.

Get it done Dees!

Note: This isn't a rumor I've heard. Just something I think suits all parties where everyone can walk away happy.

We then go to the draft with Picks 28 & 66 and upgrade Joel Smith to the senior list for our third list change.

I raise this guy...

Polled 9 brownlow votes in first 3 games last year before being dropped by Eade late in the year, now Dew has dropped him again with issues about his defensive side. Has credentials we are wanting, skills and speed and attacking player. I'd try to get him at EOY. Thoughts fellas? 

 

I think he is probably similar to Garlett, he is capable of playing some high quality football but you wouldn't be able to trust him to always do the right things and could be a liability in big games.

Has plenty of attributes that we need and on paper he would seem a good fit, however, I can't imagine us having much interest in him.

Yes as a free agent ? Or if not then draft pick 50!! Impressive but not defensively

Hard not to argue with those points, but at pick 50 or whatever for eg may be worth a swoop, even pick 30. Considering we have depth issues he'd be an upgrade on what we have? Anyway, just brought it up as Dew has dropped him 


I hope we can get to the point with good depth where we can take on players who have deficiencies but with high upside. I've seen him really dominate games. He's 27 so not super young though. Still if we can gain the luxury of getting cheaper players like him to turn them around for depth/upgrades, why not?

On a side note who the f is the guy in the photo who comes up when you google him? some fat white guy.

Didn't realise he was 27, bugger that then, if he hasn't clicked on yet how to play a team game forget it!

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. 

 

We have the similar player in Hunt !!!

I love the smell of unsubstantiated draft speculation in the morning 

Except its not unsubstantiated, nor speculation, wouldn't be through the draft and its currently the evening.... Just simply throwing his name up due to him being dropped :cool:


I had assumed Hall had gone missing big time on occasions last year, but his numbers were not bad. Dropped for disciplinary reasons, but more than a few big stat games. Only 3 times under 20.

Yes, he is soft. But we need an outside runner and could do worse than Hall.

Has serious pace and a touch of class. I’d probably look elsewhere but you never know, could be worth a punt.

I'd rather have Tom Gillies return to the side than recruit someone like Aaron Hall.  Doesn't run defensively, soft in the contest, only half decent when the chips fall his way.  Everything we shouldn't be looking at.


Turns 28 at seasons end. Maybe has 2-3 years left. 

If he was 22-23 age profile I would be keen.

I'd take Hall in a flash. Sure, he is on the outer at the gold coast but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't become reinvigorated at a new club. Has outside speed, long penetrating kicking and offers spread. He can also go forward and kick goals.

Agreed 'sons'.  Hall's time has come and gone, if he was going to become consistent, he would have shown it by now.

pass, for me.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
