Hall hinted yesterday that he might be tempted to line out in one more compromise series, if he was selected by the Ausises.

He was fined for ‘wrestling’ when he got Scott Thompson in a headlock during a game with the Kangaroos, proving he still had fore in his belly in 2010.
He should, possibly, be remembered by AFL fans for his hundreds of goals…
