Hall a headcase and has to go.

[connolly]

Compassion for Cousins, but not for Hall!!

The hypocracy of Demteriou is also staggering. He praises the Bloods for suspending Barry due to concerns for his and his opponents well being and lashed WC with a feather over their failure to do the same with Cousins. Its a tough decision for Barry but we can feel proud of the club. Did the right thing in a code where that rarely happens.

For once I agree with you

[thejones,s]

Stick him in the Magoo's.let him beat there opponents up..wont be missed by this guy..

[Donners]

Last season, one admitted as horrible, he averaged almost 7 marks and 2.2 goals a game. This season, he's going at almost 10 marks and 2.4 goals a game. On pure performance, he should not go.

As to his demeanour, he has had two bad incidents in, what, the last four seasons? Admittedly, this second one was disturbing, coming so soon after his earlier punishment. However, there is nothing to say he cannot return to his attitude of just a few seasons ago. To turn on him like this is ridiculous.

[thejones,s]

Move over Davis ,,barry's on his way...

Its not us turning on him..he has turned on himself....the guy has SIMPLY lost the plot...thuggery is not welcome in our team...we can win and play without him..the past means NOTHING..its about the future

[Donners]

Two wild swings, one of which didn't connect, is hardly the sort of thing that should make Hall an outcast.

Frankly, his actions on the weekend were no more stupid than those of Goodes, who found himself suspended for constantly doing the same thing, and certainly no cheaper than his hit from behind a few years ago.

I don't recall the same outcry against Goodes.

[thejones,s]

At least gooodes didnt sucker punch guys..or constantly keep getting agro...dont condone wat goodes does but its not the same ok...

[Donners]

No, he just runs past the ball to bump their head as they bend over. What an improvement.

Goodes was (rightly) criticised for his recklessness and many said it was only a matter of time before he was suspended.

Hall's punches were well behind play and far more vicious than anything Goodes did. There is nothing more cowardy on an AFL field than throwing punches, especially when your opponent isn't looking.

I think the players, club and supporters have every right to feel let down by Hall after he said he wanted to be known as a footballer not a thug.

Clearly by his Davis-esque interview in the paper today, he is still in denial about the situation he finds himself in.

[2005]

Hall is clearly a headcase, and should be shunted from the club. I have no sympathy for the nut job. The club has delivered him a premiership and gave him a second chance when he threatened to become a thug nobody at St Kilda. He has had more opportunities than thousands of others who would do anything to get the lifestyle he has been given - who wouldn't want to play AFL for a living and I imagine he has pulled more women as Big Bad barry than Big Brickie Barry would ever have. No, kick the @@@@@ out. Mental issue - sheesh, what has the world come to. Why not shack him up with Bingle and put him on full paid leave for a few months! Sorry Barry, time to go, you loser.

What crap !

The Club delivered Barry a Premiership : Yeah Right !

Sure he has made a huge blue and he will pay the ultimate price now, that of the punishment from those who he would respect most : His mates , ROK !
The guy still has plenty to offer , and with some support from the right people he can come back and be the player he was.

[Bob Neil]

Time to bring him back to the team, with open arms.
I forgive him for missing Wakelin.
He needs to work on his aim.

[NMWBloods]

That's paying the ultimate price...?

[2005]

That's paying the ultimate price...?

Bloody oath it would be NMWBloods, letting your mates down that you play with and work with and the bond that he shares with them would hurt Barry.
The guys a pretty good bloke otherwise the club and others made a bad call.
He wouldnt of been Captain if he didnt have the right qualities about him.

The guy has gone from a Premiership Captain and hero and right now he is at his lowest ebb, mainly due now to the fact of his own actions and that of the Club and Leadership group have put on him.

Ask Wayne Carey, betcha what hurts most of all is the friendships he lost.

Seriously, I don't he's lost many mates over this.

Wow. Just shows how quickly someone can shunt support for a key and valued player of their 'beloved' club.

Fickle indeed.

How about you factor in the contribution Hall has made to the club and Sydney AFL in general, while also recognising the fact that Hall has proven that he can go from the 'headcase' he was at St Kilda to the leader he was at Sydney.

It really @@@@s me how quickly some people can turn on players.

Look up two word in the dictionary - "loyalty" and "faith".
