Hall I think will stay in that role for the year, he’ll win their bnf if this continues. He’s pre much racked it up every game on that role.
It’s a high risk high reward pick. Can he maintain this form and stay fit given he’s 30.5 and never done it in 10 years, it seems unlikely but not out of the realms.
I really don’t want to do it but it’s one of those ones that if it works it’s going to sting for people without. If he makes money and then gets injured and has to be traded then it’s not the worst if you have trade surplus but I don’t have that luxury

Yeah I think now I’ll finish my backline via Kosi if I can this week.
I’m a little nervous now with Hall in my team with everyone saying if he doesn’t get injured he’ll be dropped.......was sub round 1 playing a mid role when he came on, took a ball to the head and sat out due concussion his other questionable game but seems to be playing a role well otherwise and pretty cheap in a world of ****e forwards this season so feckit! I’ll have a crack.

I put Hall more in the Stringer category. His role and form are irrelevant, it will almost certainly go wrong at some point. You can't take the name out of it unless you're unfamiliar with Hall's history. Plenty have been mystified as to why Hall was regularly dropped over the years, but there's no mystery to it. He's a gigantic front runner who's never changed the way he plays and never put the team first.
Noble's no mug, it shouldn't take him long to get there.

I agree to an extent but he's playing genuinely well and the role certainly hides his issues.
It's actually similar to the year Stef Martin went into the ruck, suddenly a role that suited everything he does well and hid the other stuff.
That said, Hall is the ultimate send a message type of guy, pretty easy to find a few contests in every game he plays that he squibs it and as such if you want to make a point on effort being the most important he's a guy with a lot of cheap stats and an easy "this is why he was dropped" film.
So far though the Kangas efforts have actually been alright and it's their lack of guys who can kick and run and carry that really stands out, something Hall actually adds.
Don't agree with ignoring the role though just because of who he is, Stringer was not a guy I ever considered at any point because his role is the same, a good game or two in the same role he's always played doesn't change what he is as a player.
Hall more akin to Ziebell, Atkins, Hind and Impey type of moving from not as good roles to better roles. Of course better roles don't always stick around and that's a very real risk.
