    I contend that Bazza's actions are not actually detrimental to the team at the moment.

    I'll expand when I have time to think up an argument.

    Our other forwards have hardly stood up this year or shown the can kick 30-40 goals next year Bazza has 31 then after that Goodes 21 Jolly 12 McVeigh 10 and jack 9
    Bazza is the only forward we have that has kicked more than 10 goals
    I like the idea of White forward but he is a few years off as is johnston i think we will struggle to kick a score next year without Baz and could end up right down the bottom of the ladder without a good draft pick

    Nup.

    He's our premiership captain.
    To ask him to retire and end his career in that way is just wrong.
    It should all be kept in house and discussed there privately.
    If he decides that it is time to go based on the clubs discontent with his actions, then so be it.

    But he should leave the club a champion with all the bells and whistles due.

    Heard the interview on SEN. Hall said the work 'retire' at least 20 times in 2 minutes. Difficult to form any other conclusion other than Roos wants Hall to retire. I wonder what is in his contract about punching people?
    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

    Roos is wrong

    To come out and gently nudge Hall like he did on Ch 10 news tonight was pretty disgusting IMO.
    I've never come out and criticised Roos before.
    I've had a go at our game plan, but never the man himself.
    I'd rather have everything like this kept in house.

    Roos pretty much said that it was time for Hall to go.
    Makes it pretty hard for Hall to move forward from here.
    Sad that it may end this way....

    Roos didn't say that. Roos said they'll be having a chat about his future, and pointed out that at the moment, Hall is not playing like he wants to be out there. Roos is very much putting the ball in Hall's court. The media of course like to spin it whichever way sells the most papers, but the message to Hall will be crystal clear.
    Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

    No he didn't say that.
    He "pretty much said that" as I wrote.
    He implied that.
    He intimated that.
    Didn't really leave much up to interpretation.

    So unlike Paul to effectively end a player's career at the club and destroy his prospects elsewhere by using the media to air the club's dirty laundry (and his own personal frustration).

    I consider Roos to be a good to very good coach and an arrogant, stubborn, manipulative and slightly vindicitve person with all the media savvy to (a) get what he wants and (b) construct the "smooth operator" and "butter would not melt in his mouth" image of himself as the greatest Swan of all time.

    I have no idea of the man's politics byt Malcolm Turnbull could learn a thing from Paul (though that's not saying much, Malcolm could learn a thing or two off anyone with half an ounce of political nous).

    I hope he retires it would be doing us a favour if you ask me. Enough is enough. I really don't give a @@@@ about how well he has been playing - that really isn't the point.

    The fact of the matter is that we shouldn't allow senior players to behave like he has over the last 2 years.
