Is that all for Barry Hall?

Question

watching the swannies and the pies tonight, I counted five incidents involving Barry Hall. None serious, but that wasn't thanx to Barry.
This man is supposed to have been guided into mature behaviour after two earlier incidents that could have been very serious.
What do the rest of you think - is this Barry's third strike?
Should the Swans just drop his contract, or should they do the Collingwood thing and suspend him themselves until 2009?

Answer 1

I watched the game, and was amazed at how much Hall treads a fine line. After all he has been through this year, you'd think he's be more careful.



That guy needs to use his common sense, or he won't have a playing future,

Answer 2

What ever he gets that WCE sook should get half of that time. If anyone was watching what Staker was doing to Barry he deserved it even though the degree of the punch was probably a bit severe the sentiment and feeling behind it for Big Bazza was spot on. He will do the time for his crime and not complain about it unlike all WCE. This is just another in a long line of lets have a cry Eagles games, Lets run through them, Drugs issue, lets all cry for Cousins, Kerr and any other junkie on that team, Chick being delisted lets cry for another junkie, and now Staker and his hill billy (I'm sorry to all the Hill Billies out there) parents all crying and ghaving a go at Barry. Can anyone see the common thread here WCE are a bunch of attention seeking sooks. If Bazza did that to an Eastern State team player he would not have been in as much trouble as he is. Yet again the Eagles reallt cant play the game and are deflecting it with other issues.

Answer 3

I think Barry Hall is not the only one who has had All.

Poor bugger just gets so frustrated with his lack of good delivery and the Swans look pretty well shot after their glory days.

It is time to retire some of the older players and start afresh - maybe half of the team but keep Goodes, O'Keefe, maybe Micky O for another year too. It has all caught up with us and you never saw the Swans fudging for the bottom of the ladder either - they battled on with guts and determination mostly. We were thrashed by a much better and much faster team last night and the writing has been on the wall for some time now. If we drift out of the 8 it may be a blessing this year.

Barry Hall has got problems alright - All forwards get to much flack though but I think it is time to move him on as obviously he has let the team down so much and those suspensions didn't help us either. The Swans have a lot of work to do and should retire the oldies who are not fast enough for today's game.

Answer 4

I didn't think the incidents were all that bad tonight. I think it was a lot of disappointment from what he was getting offered. So frustration was a big key. That isn't an excuse however.

The swans are still alive for the finals and could perform well if they get their game together. As we all know, Barry Hall can win a match. He leads well and is a great option up forward as he takes the number on defender. So, freeing up the likes of Goods. Which is what they might need come September.

Answer 5

Haha.



I'm totally against any swans player because i remember the feeling of my team losing the 05 grand final. Ouch.



Although the swans vs eagles rivalry is good and it woundnt be the same without barry hall.

Answer 6

I recon he has absolutley torn his career to shreds and it does not involve his form and his playing but its behaviour and how he can lash out at another player or get really angry generally.



I think he should play another year - but he seriously needs some physcological help because tonight i saw him continuously on top of a collingwood player and nudging and stuff at him - even after he had won the free kick, and he would not go away, i also saw another small incident that could have prooved serious, but seriously, he just has got to restrain himself and stop.

Answer 7

32 next year. Way over the hill. Not enough value, and he's got a few mates too. An embarrassment to the club. This year is his last.

Answer 8

I was saying he should never have played again this season after the Brent staker king hit! I guess i was right!



He has too many 2nd chances.

He is bringing the game into disrepute!



Nice rhyming by the way :)

Answer 9

He will just never learn.

He has the talent but doesn't use it because he's pretty much always suspended!

xx

Answer 10

Answer 11
