Deck the Hall

[FootyontheBrain]

Hall was great in all 3 of his games invig, though I agree we should be able to limit his opportunities and the space he has.

Defending Hall starts in the midfield. Limit his supply and you limit how damaging he can be. You guys always had our measure because of your rebound from defense and our inability to hit a target.

Deck the Hall...

...with Darren Jolly fa la la la la la la la la.

Barry Hall is Jolly's former premiership captain though, so I don't think he would ever deck him of course.

Interestin slant though. Put Jolly in Hall's vicinity and get him to call for the ball all the time. Baz may subconsciously pass it.

Would like to see Presti line up on him at the start of the game. If he keeps him quiet early then leave him there, if Hall seems to be out-bodying and destroying us on the score board him then throw Leeroy on him and see how he goes, wouldn't take a bar full of Hall's shit and could end up very entertaining

Pie eyed I do enjoy your quote. I think some people forget though the dogs Barry Hall is very different to the Sydney Hall. Not the player but the much quicker and quality delivery he is getting now. Much more dangerous personally.

Along with the crisp accurate delivery he's now getting, the Dogs Barry Hall is also playing differently to the Swans version.

The Swans version would roam up and down the field as their CHF NB away from the SCG. Micky O was the de facto FF. In one game v Dogs (which we lost) Lake was on him but played an interesting strategy of letting Hall get easy possessions up the field and then play closely on him closer to goal.

The Dogs version now seems to just lead out of the goal square as a genuine FF. Murphy plays his former Swans role roaming CHF further up field.

The Pies have had the wood on the Swans for a few seasons now, and IIRC on Hall as well. But FWIW in Round 1 you will be facing a different Hall in a few ways.

BTW, good thread. Diito the one about Lake and Anthony.

Can't wait - Dogs v Pies games are usually bloody good.

Have they moved the changing rooms?!?

Just finished watching the Swans v Pies from last year. I still reckon we'll have the edge over the Zen Master Barry

Maybe you'll have a greater edge. Or maybe the Zen Master can be in two places at once?

We do seem more predictable and that may be good news for a good defence.

I think both sides supporters have a lot to be excited about this season.
Both sides have addressed some obvious deficiencies which should see both sides with added dimensions.

Good luck to you sir.
