Hugo Hall-kahan

I remember when they hit rock bottom after their 2017 failed grand final attempt and they went back down to the bottom and the call I made most often was get the ball into Taylor Walker's hands, get the ball into the hands of two, maybe three blokes in their team who can kick it because they don't have skill.

Even now when they've increased their talent skill quotient, If you sit on Millera in the back line, good player, and they even got a mid-year draftee, Hall-Kahan, if he's not getting it and kicking it and getting it enough, those two players, I'm...

If I'm the opposition, if I see, and he's a great player, Worrell get it, any one of the other backmen get it, I'm just retreating back to where their targets are because they are, by league standards, very average at kicking the ball.

You can keep the ball in there because they'll keep giving you a chance to keep getting it back in.

Was it style, which has been critiqued of how... let's call it, over safe they are with the footy coming out of the back half? Or are they still just a couple of players short? Because it looks like if you put time into Wayne Molira, they've got no zip out of the back line.

I know Hall-Kahan came in and had a crack, but it feels like if you put time into him, it forces Dawson to roll back.

So is it personnel or style or coaching? What do you think it is?

Yeah, I think it's probably a mixture of their style and their approach out of the back half.

Through the middle they go.

takes a bounce.

He needs to hit a target.

Kick not great.

Neil Bull in the intercept for the Adelaide Crows.

Plays the handball off quickly to Hall-Kahan.

As he's searching for Dawson, Will Ashcroft got in his way.

The difference going up there this week, I'm going to give you some names.

Keane, Borlase, Nankervis, Neil Bullen, Saligo, Curtin, Hugo Hall-Kahan, Kalarchi will all play this week.

Didn't play in that previous game.

That's a very different line-up, isn't it?

Yeah, it's just, it's almost like everything stops and we watch him just deliver.

But the one thing I think, Cookie and Hugo Hall-Kahan will now have belief in their game that they can win, which these guys would have been so... nervous before that game, but now they believe they can do it.

Belief.

Simon, good
