Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

How is this debate still a thing? De Goey got concussed on the weekend, lets suspend tim kelly for making contact. Lets just calm down and remember its a collision sport and that if he was suspended it would have far greater ramifications moving forward. Correct decision, should have been a free kick for late contact at best.

Agree. Of course, the reason it's still a thing is the outrageous citing of Cunnington the week before. It's not as if Christian has become competent - and those pulling his strings have developed integrity - in a week.

Just shows how damaging can be when playing with such confidence

just remarked in the game day thread - 522 metres gained in a half of footy, extraordinary

 

[Heaps of fun]

Been nothing less than a revelation off half-back.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Incredible passes today, hasn't missed a beat off his game from the concussion. I like where it's going Hally.

 

[Themanbun]

In our best 2-3 players week in week out in this new role. Long may it continue.

 

[ferball]

We need to find ToD and get the keys off him if he's not gonna start it up himself.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Give him another contract. I'd be happy with another two years. Reinvented

 

[Kanga Glory]

Has really lifted his intensity and it shows in the way he is playing. Playing a vital role in setting and looks like he wants the footy in his hands.

 

[the big lebowski]

Playing very strong footy.

Deserves another year. Which im surprised I’m saying.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

So this is what drive off half back looks like.

Loving your work Azza.

Seems to have found his niche for sure.

 

[tazaa]

Didn’t see this coming. The margin for error is so little for him when he can kick to space coming out of defence and he’s taken to halfback so well.
As opposed to kicking at the big sticks I thing he’s found his niche and who knows could earn himself another contract. Amazing really

 

[Psicosis]

Master stroke. Seriously impressive move by Noble.

 

[SammyRoo]

Fantastically skillfull when he’s on.

No wonder he led the brownlow once.

hopefully can find that consistency. Hasn’t lost any zip and at 30 could get a few more seasons possibly?

 

[Snake_Baker]

There's nothing new about Hall playing as a hard rebounding half back.

 

[shinboner magic]

One year contracts to keep him hungry.

 

[Snake_Baker]

One year contracts to keep him hungry.

Nextn minute he has an all time blinder season, then walks to the draft for a 3 year contract at Geelong.

Nextn minute he has an all time blinder season, then walks to the draft for a 3 year contract at Geelong.

Averaging 7 possessions per quarter over his last 4 games, massive metres gained, great run, and penetrating disposal. Would be well on his way to an offer for at least two years.

I'd give him 2 years plus a trigger right now. No probs.

 

[Themanbun]

Amazing what he can do after a pre season of being able to breathe.

[Kangaroo Cat]

Maybe Aaron Hall actually enoys his job now and feels valued. Amazing how much that can motivate someone.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He was a serious footballer at the Suns & then injuries and shithouse tactics intervened to bring him to a halt.

He's not too banged up and can still have 3-4 years left to play...................provided they don't delist him for pick 61 in the draft.

HALL MONITOR

Aaron Hall had his best game for the Kangaroos since leaving the Gold Coast Suns at the end of 2018.

The 30-year-old was a dominant force across halfback. He had 21 possessions to halftime, 18 kicks, nine marks and three inside-50s.

Sporting cornrowed hair, it was Hall’s first game on home soil in two years, and his Shaun Burgoyne-style run and stun out of defence will make him a key part of North Melbourne’s recovery if he can maintain the rage as the season rolls on.
