    Barry Hall

    Paul Roos is reported to have stated to the press that Barry Hall will receive a positive reception from the SCG crowd when the Dogs visit Sydney.

    Personally, I will not only NOT be booing Bazza, but, (as occurred earlier in the season in Canberra), I will still be cheering him on. Interested to hear from other Swans fans. However one way or the other, I suspect that Barry Hall could be the most popular ex Swan to ever play the Sydney Swans.

    I would never Boo BBB Barry Hall! I still wish he was in theredandwhite. The Blue looks terrible on him. Makes him look really pasty.

    He's not massively popular with me because I'm still not thrilled with the exit but no, no booing here.

    Interesting comments on OWAAT last night regarding Bazz and the Bulldogs. They basically said that although Bazz has had a very good season personally, that the dogs forward line is now a bit one dimensional with him as the focal point. They have also scored less goals in total than last year.

    Sounds familiar doesn't it?

    Whilst we certainly still have our fair share of forward line issues (had DB stayed on the park we would have been fine), I think it shows that you're better off in the modern game with multiple focal points as opposed to one key power forward.

    I think it might be more due to Johnson, Aker, Hill, Higgins, Hahn etc not delivering what they did last year for a variety of reasons. They'd be fighting for a spot in the 8 if it wasn't for Hall.

    Certainly teams are better off having multiple focal points but I still think you need at least one quality tall.

    We often went to Barry too much but the 'Dogs have had just about no other option this year, with so many of their forwards injured, finished, sacked or just struggling for form.

    Anyone who has played in a Premiership for the Swans deserves some respect,even if their departure was somewhat controversial. Besides booing would probably make him try harder.

    I can't see anyone booing Biffo. I do hope that Roos has him heavily marked and to isolate him from the game though.

    No booing, but will he give Kirky a big man hug after the siren in honour of his last SCG game?

    Claps from me. No boos.

    Hell, might even give the big lug a standing ovation.

    I don't boo any opposition players. But I'll clap every time he drops a mark or kicks a point - he certainly knows how to do that at night games at the SCG.

    Probably. I'm curious about how he deals with Roos if they cross paths.
