What should the leadership group do? NOTHING in my opinion. This 'event' happened on the field and has been dealt with by the proper authorities. Bazz has already copped a seven week suspension, will probably be remembered in history as a worse man than Ted Bundy and has copped the wrath of a blood-thirsty media and public hungry for a good story. Isn't this enough?
Seriously, I can see the need in modern day football for the "leadership group" or the club to interfere in matters that happen off-field because they have to "protect their corporate image" and players are "role models". But this happened on the field...and has been dealt with. So unless Bazz, after the punch, went and pi$$ed on the Staker's front doorstep in Perth, the matter is over...Go you mighty BLOODBOYS!Comment

What I would have liked to see is ONE member of the leadership group present the opinion of the Group/Team ONCE. I have not enjoyed the continual procession of Leo/Tadhg/B2 having their word on lost respect, letting team down, potential punishments etc
It gets to the stage where it is as if Barry is recommitting the crime every day this week.
I am waiting now for Goodesy, Kirky, Ablett, Rhino to have their say...if they havent already !!!Red and white till I dieComment

Well reading the comments on here certainly made me laugh this morning. By the way I agree with all that you said Wardy!! As the guy on the Today Show said this morning "you have to feel sorry for Barry, he didn't shoot anyone". I wonder how much of this leadership crap and physchologist stuff is to appease the wider community and the media. I did notice on Sat night though that Jolly was the one noticeable Swan who went up to Barry and spoke to him.Comment

The leadership group should cut this crap of self importance and focus on more important things like the game against the Cats on Saturday.

Yep agreed, the leadership group should be for on-field leadership, not making the decisions about who plays, who is on the list, who's been a naughty boy on the field.
Baz has been punished once already (twice if you apply Scott's cartoon) so why should the "leadership group" punish him further. I know there is a lot of crap spoken about "karma" on here, but I can't wait to see Kirk stuff up and see how they handle it then.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I think when the same sound bit is run again and again and again on telly it may seem that the only thing on the Swans minds is Barry Hall.
Do any of us really think that is the case?
I've got no doubt that the second the game finished on Saturday night the coaches and team started preparing for life without Barry.Comment

Hall is gone from the LG.
They should give him another week - to come back in the reserves.
Some community work as well... maybe driving umpires to and from games."As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.Comment

The leadership group will be "seen" to do "something" about Blind Barry, although deep down, we all know nothing will happen they're not going to do anything too bad to him. It's all hyped-up talk.
This isn't Nick Davis - this is Big Bad Bustling Barry Hall.
Huge difference.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. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
