"Hall's overhaul is expected to translate into crisper acceleration off the mark, an improved ability to change directions (groin), aerobic capacity (nose), depth judgment (eyes) and general confidence."

I didn't realise he had surgery on his nose too.

Sounds like we can expect big bad baz to be back to his best this season.

It will be great to have the real Barry Hall back this season. When he is at his best he is one of the most dangerous Full Forwards in modern AFL.

I liked the way the papers alluded his operations to Extreme Makeover.

And yes, it would be great to have the Barry Hall we all know and love. I never realised that the clearing of the nose can increase your aerobic capacity... I guess you do learn something everyday.

He's going to be a new man,lets hope he's back to his brilliant best.

At least we know what the trouble was last year now.

One can only hope.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a case of patching him up to keep him on the field rather than getting him back to his best. You don't take in your Torana in for a 250,000K service and expect it to come out new even if you replace the headlights, suspension and air filter.

Of course it would be like new,its a holden.

I would say he went on a mental, physical and inner journey

Obviously in '07 for Hall it's been more than just 'headlights, suspension and air filter'...

Barry Hall's always been a dominant player and someone of his calibre doesn't drop form that drastically.. at the most he'd have a handful of bad games..

Now that he's denounced his captaincy.. he'll have a more dominant role..

'headlights, suspension and air filter'

headlights, suspension and air filter == eyeballs, groin and nose

Good one Malc fan,you have now coined Barrys new nickname. Bionic Baz!
Bionic for short. He will now use his bionic eye to track the ball to the exact spot where it will land. No need for teammates to tell him man on! Using his
bionic nose he will smell the opposition players in close proximity. And of course his bionic groin will make him twist and turn like a champion ice skater!

Haha! That made me laugh!

After reading the first part I was a bit worried where you were going to head with the 'bionic groin'

I should have explained that the 'bionic groin' can be switched off to avoid
embarrising bulges in the shorts !

It could be used as a weapon. Set his groin at full power and send him out on the field where he can knock people out with it.

Something like that is so inhumane, it must be bionic !

I wonder how many guys would line up to buy it

Not a bad idea,but im afraid the Afl would try and negate this with a groin in the back rule! And thats as far as i go with the Bionic Groin!!
