Do you think that a straight trade out for Hall would be smart. Without hall do you think that Ryan O'Keefe's output will be affected without Hall? If so do you think it will increase or decrease.

I would have thought it would be smart to get him in your side regardless of the impact of Hall. The think about ROK is that he wins a lot of contested ball, he gets plenty of touches and he puts on some tackles, while still kicking the odd goal. These are things that aren't affected by Hall. And he is putting up these great scores while his radar is off with the goalkicking.

Ryan O'Keefe is a star of the competition. He is a fantastic pickup with or without Hall because of the way he scores his points - if you watched our game last night you would have seen him involved in a lot of linkup work through midfield and into the forward half, he has good defensive pressure and can lay a tackle, and he is brilliant at using his body to take the contested mark and kick at goal as well. With Hall out he will still pick up a lot of possessions through the centre and will become a more important target up forward as well.

Had ROK last year. One thing about him last year and again this year is his effectiveness is always between 50-60%. Imagaine the scores he could get if that increased.

Dont know why I overly looked him this year. probably because I went S.Johnson instead. (similar price)

Not the best move so far, but Johnson will come good.

Can ROK keep it up is the big question, I do think HALL not being there might have some impact.

Yeah, I've decided to make the trade. Barring injury in the week etc.
