One can only hope come the end of this season we are all hailing hale once again .A heat seeker not a fly on the wall ,but a all out rocker that says if you want blood you got it . If not he could be on a runaway train to the gold coast ,a problem child that ends up with guns for hire .

Time for North to make a Haaaaaale-break ?

His name is Hales, so he could just be a little thunderstruck atm. A quick, attacking gameplan based around direct movement through the corridor (and a set of big balls) should help his cause no end.

There's no doubt that it'll be a lot easier to assess where he's at if our midfielders are able to find a high percentage....high percentage....high percentage path to goal.

We all know you can play, you have shown us you can tear a defence apart (Re Geelong), we have seen you take great pack marks, we have seen you put your body on the line and we have seen you attack the ball with ferocity.

My question to you is, where has all that gone?

You are 6 ft 8, a massive unit and agile for a man of your height so stop thinking too much about everything and just get out there and grab the damn pill. You have advantages other players would kill for so what is stopping you?

Yes I know it isn't easy but would you rather be stuck in an office doing crap work like most of us because that's where you're heading if you don't extract the digit and achieve what we all know you can do.

Good god man what the **** are you waiting for????
Well said Big Easy.:thumbsu: Just like true Steeler fan to expect Zero Tolerance. I'd hope you follow thru with this memo by actually having it mailed to David Hale directly. :) Players don't give a flying **** what is said on forums. Got a damn good feeling Brad Scott is the Mike Tomlin of the AFL.. and that's damn good thing folks. :thumbsu:

Can you put some references in if you're going to keep drawing analogies with minor sports? Thanks.

Oh and I think Hales' e-mail address is haleing_goals@hotmail.com.

Far too hasty. Shit post.

Give the bloke a couple of matches under the second coach of his career before applying the blow torch.

You should consult a lawyer. May be a case of misleading and deceptive conduct.;)

I live in hope that Bon can get into his head and remind him that he's 200+cms and 100+kgs with skill, brains and courage.

46, in a dual forward role with Drew.
This would be sensational. If that happens top 4 here we come.

A few of you, includes The Zebs, will be relieved to know that after rigorous off season analysis, I feel David Hale is in a great position to capitalise on a more direct game plan this season up forward.

I am officially on the David Hale bandwagon, I reckon he will deliver for our club this year.

Excellent RB - your record of backing in players is of course, exemplary. You've chosen well this year in the best interests of the future of the club.

interesting thread i was dozing in front of the box the other night and I heard Eddie banging on about how great David Hales was, Brayshaw was as well.So whether that was a look into the future and 9 get the footy back I'm not sure. But the only concern was some reference to being a down hill skier.
