fair enough - I have a case to read and summarize that I have been putting off for a few days so I must do it today - I must, I must - I would rather poke my eyes out with pins than read it mind you - but I guess thats what they pay me to do! nah maybe leave it until Monday - the verdict isnt going to change!

What liablility does Hall impose on the Swans?
If hes suspended then we have the team that would exist without him and if hes in we have a tough uncompromising forward presence who has played well all year. At worst we in the same position that sacking him puts us in anyway.
There is no liability in that and only upside to keep him. As for bad example for young guys - Rubbish. He is fit, hard at it , uncompromising and a pretty good shot at goal. Any young player if anything will take those things on board, not the odd brain explosion.
If I was Roos , I would love to have a tough nut like him in the side. I would be saying privately " Look the AFL wants to potray a wholesome image, so Kirky and I are going to go out in the media and say all the usual stuff but get over your injury and get back firing in three weeks".
Going forward next year , you would only get rid of him if salary cap restraints meant that you either lose Hall or Vezpremi. The I would let him go.Comment

Big Beamish like a lot of big aggressive players - Mooney, Brereton, Plugger walks the line. Sometimes they step over it. Its the nature of their aggression. Take it out of them and they wouldn't be half the footballers they are and were. Hall's aggression has contributed to many goals and victories. Its sheer hypocracy to pretend we haven't used it and gained from it. Going the knuckle is over the line. But it doesn't change the fact that these kind of players tread it every time they take the field. Plugger Lockett throttled Mick Martyn and said to him "How does it feel to die in front of 40,000 people". Very witty but very violent.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

Don't disagree with the points you made there, but Hall crossed the line with the king hit on staker which was one of the more disgraceful efforts i have seen on the football field.
Since that incident he owed it to his teammates and coach to stay out of trouble. The Rutten hit wasn't that big if it was an isolated incident but it wasn't.
I mean is it really that hard to not punch an opponent for no reason on the football field??????
It's not much to ask but he just couldnt help himself and the team is poorer as a result
The liability he places on the team is that when he sees the red mist, we effectively play 1 man short, it's similar to the effect Fevola has on the Blues and it is a massive negative.
Having played football with hotheads before it is extremely disheartening when youre busting your gut and 1 player lets the team down with undisciplined acts. Additionaly, there's nothing better for an opposition team then to see an opponent lose their cool, its a psychological boost as you know you've got them on toastComment

He should retire - hopefully gracefully - after a great career.
He would probably not have been permitted to play in '05 if the current football regime was in place, and then yes, the coach and his teammates would have had to learn new trick to feed a newly structured forward line - as they will, again, need to do for the next 2 weeks.
It is not suiting him, and probably not suiting the team.Comment

All you have to do is make 1 rule book for him so he can do anything he likes and a another one for everyone else to say they can't.............see no problem!Comment

You know when you hate your job? You're trying to get psyched. "Today's the day I'm going to get it right, make a difference, come out on top". You turn up and everyone you work with gives you the @@@@s. Your clients (opposition) just piss you off with their demands and let's not mention the regulators that keep changing the legislation!

Love the bloke but can't see him staying. I think he's over it and sadly the feeling is mutual. It's not a case of throwing money at him or giving him a promotion. What needs to change to make Baz a happy player? I can't work it out.Last edited by Lucky Knickers; 4 July 2009, 05:46 AM.Comment

Hally should just pull his head in a fraction, fair dinkum he knocks blokes over by looking at them, remember that Port Adelaide game where he flinched at a bloke and down he went? He is a very fit man, and could probably play possibly 2 more years, question is can we provide him with a midfield that can deliver the ball in a way that he gets a fair crack at it. Probably a minor point would be can he ever expect a fair suck of the savaloy from the umpires? I'd love to see career stats on his frees for and against. Stack themm upo against Wayne Carey, nothing more than a thug with a nice haircut, see what they look like, I'm willing to bet Hally comes off second best. I think he's hard domne by, but in part brought it on himself. In the end, he's our best forward, why would we sack
him?

- 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.
