That 'revelation' came about here.
Been discussed many times before.
Glad to see the Swans have a full time psychologist on hand
Big frigging call to drop Hall indefinitely.
And big call for the club to agree.
They have a fairly sizable investment in Hall.
What is more disappointing is some on the comments in this thread and in others.
What happened to the 'bloods' theme and all that?
Standing by your own.
Even respect for a premiership player.
I don't adhere to all that stuff so much, but I certainly am willing to cut Hall a bit of slack.
Two errant 'waves of the arm' and he hung drawn and quartered.
Renegotiate his contract with a violent outburst clause etc and he'll be on his best behavior for sure.
Even in the worst case scenario, he stuffed up.
BFD, he's human.
I sure as hell he's back ASAP and playing well.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Roosy seems to be applying the 'Rudd style of decision making'.....Committees, leadership groups, psychologists, assistant coaches.....Anyone but himself.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

This is an interesting quote from Hall, this is how I saw it and have been a little surprised by th way the media, and some on this forum have blown it out of all proportion. It was clumsy, but it never looked (to me at least) like he was trying to actually punch Wakelin.

After the punishment he and the rest of the leadership group dished out to Nick Davis in 2006 for speaking out in the media, you'd have thought Hall would have had the sense to keep his mouth shut!
Hall stunned by club suspension - realfooty.com.au"To be honest, I don't think that's the answer, to not play football, I don't know if that's going to help, that's my only query. I can understand from the club's point of view they are looking to do the right thing, but I don't think missing games is going to help the situation.

I reckon his appointments with the physchologist will be as effective as Sam Newman's appointments with his counsellor. I reckon all this is a media beat up and can't help but think that the Swans are clever by saying indefinitely as it doesn't hold them to a specific number of weeks. Could be back in 2 or 5 - who knows.Comment

If you have a read of today's The Age paper, the so called "expert" of footy Robert Walls has stated in yet another one of his magnificent pieces of Journalism...(sarcastic), that Barry Hall needs to be retired for good. What an absolute knob. Perhaps someone needs to point that out to Robert, cause he has been past his used by date for a long time now.Comment

Apologies if all of this has been already said on this thread, but I have neither time nor inclination to read it all.
What the hell does ?standing down? mean anyway. What a lot of bull. The bloke swung or attempted to push his marker. No-one died. He gave away a few kicks. So did a few others. What about others who kicked straight to the opposition. Want to ?stand them down? too!?!
The whole ?Bloods Code? mumbo-jumbo seriously gives brings the bile up in the back of my neck!
Get the bloke his week off. Fair enough. Those are the stupid tribunal rules.
He is still, however, our most potent forward, so as soon as that?s done, get him back on the park!!!
The hysteria about all this is such a joke. I think back to how the Irish were called all kinds of ?pussies? etc after the last IR fiasco, but the treatment of one punch and one attempted punch by Barry Hall, you?d think he?d committed a crime against humanity!
P.S. Walls is an idiot.Ar aghaidh chun bua 2007!Comment

You'll find many here of the same opinion.
You'd think most of the posters here were opposition back line players.....
Bring him back ASAP.
Run him off the bench and give him half a game - temperament based.
Maybe they could hook up some sort of 'anger detector' to his skull and monitor when he needs to be dragged.
He should apply for the next Hulk movie.
Can just see him spurting out "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry"
I would have thought a boxing career is looking less and less likely.
Wouldn't you think that boxers who can't control their anger and fought on emotion would be stuffed?The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.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
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
