BARRY Hall's performance in 2010 will not be measured on goals kicked, according to Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade.
"He's going to be measured by the team involvement and I think the flexibility of our forward line will be a real plus. I think the big thing about Barry is that he's a very team-orientated player," Eade said
"I think as players get older, they learn new tricks. I remember coaching Plugger [Tony Lockett] … he learnt new ways to kick goals."
Ankle surgery has limited Hall's training, but he is adamant he can start running before Christmas. And he believes he is still capable of the game-breaking performances he produced with Sydney in previous seasons.
