I must say I am struggling to get interested in this. I get the sense it will be one of those documentaries from the 1970s - so dermie who did you punch then ? And you are best of friends now ? And you and Billy Duckworth do this and you and Mark Yeates do that.Originally Posted by ugg
He was a very good lead up forward for us and very lucky to have played in a flag. apart from the last quarter highlights all I really remember from that st kilda prelim was the constant whisper amongst swans fans at 1/4 time of fn idiot well he wont play next week - what the hell are we going to do now.
the reality was that we should have traded him at the end of the 08 season to the dogs - they were desperate for a full forward and you could tell that our side was struggling to play with him....we were struggling without him as well but it would have been a win win win.
i'd be surprised if there werent too many of the swans players and coaches from 05-09 who didnt have issues with barry.
Yeah this is all boring IMO. We know what happened, we know why he left, we know he has issues with roos, we know he had an altercation with longmire (said so in his book), so why bring it all back up now??? Clearly hall just cant get over this but thats his problem cause im pretty sure the club has. Ill be very interested to see if hall goes to the 05 reunion, im guessing he wont especially as he sees himself as a 'bulldogs' player.
Seriously, again? Can't the "Dog for life" go and find another bone to pick? Tired of him altogether.
So don't watch it.
Me, I'll sit back and watch the show as I do every week, it's a bloody good series and even though I suspect there will be nothing new for anybody that has read the book, I'll probably enjoy it as I always do.
I'm no huge Hall fan nowadays, but doing an Open Mike show is hardly a reason to get stuck into him...
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
I won't. Is it okay with you if I think he's a dickhead?
Of course it is, I think some people are dickheads as well...

It's more about continuously raising these issues publicly.
For me, it lessens my appreciation of him as a premiership captain.
I get that he was/is pissed about being booted out, and have cut him a lot of slack with his various comments about the Swans and Bulldog for life etc.
But if it goes on and on, then I'll just get pissed off with him, and I don't want that.
Let history be, and be remembered as a Swans hero.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
The problem with that CtS is Bazza doesn't want it to be that way. Remember, he's a doggie for life now.
Yeah that's kind of sad - for us fans.
All he is doing in the long run is tainting the memory of him and therefore to some degree the memory of the GF win.
I doubt the Swans are too worried about what he is saying - he's not really getting to them at all.
It's easy to come out and @@@@ on the swans when you know that they won't bother replying or presenting a different POV
So he's kind of golden there I guess.

Good old Baz, brings out the best in all of us.
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
