Annie i can't understand where you're coming from with this one, sorry. 90% accuracy? You must be joking, and let's not act like Barry has been @@@@ during his entire playing career at Sydney, this year was really his only shocker, you're going way over the top with your critisism.Comment

No one would want him. And even if they did, they would offer much. The new rule has killed him, and he can't work out a better way around it. Liability.Comment

This whole thread is just stupid!
Yes, Barry Hall had an ordinary night (and an ordinary season)
BUT!!!.... what short memories you all have. over the last couple of seasons he was in the top 5 players in the competition.
I know he's strugled with the changing rules. ie. hands in the back. But, a player that relys on he leading ability is always going to struggle when he carries a groin injury (and a knee injury earlier on) for the season.
All this and he's still the swan with the most goals for the season.
You're all over-reacting, cut the guy some slack and see what he does next year fully fit!Ed Considine's day out - Round 3, 16th April 1995.

2006 GF was one bad match.... but you being so perfect I'm sure you've never had an off day at anything you do.
2007 is a completely different kettle of fish. He played injured for the majority of the year.
you, my friend is the one who needs a reality check.
But don't let reality get in the way of your rant. You're obviously angry still from the @@@@e 'the whole team' served up, minus Adam Goodes.Ed Considine's day out - Round 3, 16th April 1995.

Do we write off Hall this season, as just a bad season adjusting to the rule change, injuries etc or is it time for Hall to hang up his boots?Premiers 09,18,33,05

What an absolute farce of a thread.
How can it be that one year of Hall having trouble with his kicking suddenly morph into years of problems with his kicking.
As MNW has pointed out, Hall's accruacy has been top line for his entire career in Sydney so you can't just suddently taint his career based on this year.
There is no doubt that Hall has had a problem with his groin this year and that his had a massive impact on his ability to kick over distance with accruacy. Fix the problem with the groin and you should see that fixed.
As for his marking, Hall has never been a great contested mark. His rise as a leading player has all been down to his ability to keep moving and being able take the ball uncontested due to his opponent falling off him exhuasted.
You don't have to be einstein to work out that with the groin injury he has just not been able to cover the ground that he wants and needs too to break down his opponent. Hell Shane Wakelin has been able to go with him three times this year just becuase he has not covered the ground that is needed for his game to work.
Fix the groin, give him a full pre season and their is no reason why he doesn't get back to another 70+ goal season next year if he can play the way he wants and needs to be effective.

I'll only jump back on the bandwagon if he does 90+ next year - with only 21 behinds. Surely that's not too much to expect from the highest paid forward in the competition.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
