Barry Hall is our chosen one...
It's Hall over Fevola for the Bulldogs, says Eade (http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/85577/default.aspx)

WESTERN Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade has reaffirmed his club's commitment to Barry Hall despite the sudden availability of Brendan Fevola, who has fallen out of favour at Carlton and will be traded.
Though Fevola, who is four years younger than Hall and is the reigning Coleman Medallist, could appear the more attractive option, Eade said the Dogs were too far down the road with the former Swan.
"We are committed to Barry and he has said that he is committed to us, or that he would like to come to us," Eade said from the NAB AFL Draft Camp in Canberra on Thursday.
"That (Fevola situation) hasn't changed our thinking at all."
Eade also acknowledged the club's stance in its negotiations for Hall, which have hit a snag due to the Swans' demands of a second-round pick for the 250-game player who will be 33 by the time the 2010 season kicks off.
"We think it's probably a bit of an ambit claim at the moment, but having said that we're certainly prepared to go to the [pre-season] draft and so is Barry," he said.
