    The fact that Barry mentioned the leading teams feedback in his Open Mike interview means the process of a young player giving him feedback does not sit easily with him.

    I’m old school and believe that young players should not be telling older champions like Barry how to behave. The young guys should do their time and let the experienced guys talk to Barry.

    I don’t believe it was Hannenberry. In 2009, Hannenberry was a 1st year player doing high school out of Melbourne and getting himself into trouble for throwing eggs. I don’t think a high school egg thrower would have the hide to lecture BBBB.

    Nick Smith could be plausible. I’ve got some one else in mind.

    Enough with the bizarre witch hunt.

    You can believe whatever you want to believe, live in whatever 'yesterdays' age your mind wants to live in. But you aren't part of the football club, and this really doesn't matter.

    I’m going on what Barry Hall said. I’ve asked for information and accused nobody.

    FYI, Barry was the most important player during the Swans 2003-2006 glory run.

    If not for Barry, all of you would not have had your break through premiership.

    If Barry doesn’t like young upstarts giving him feedback then all of you should be on Barry’s side. Don’t back the accounts on the greatness of leading teams from Brandon Jack.

    @@@@ off with telling people what they should think or what they should do already..... its utterly nauseating.

    You can believe what you want. But stop trying to tell other people what they should think.

    I peg your pardon. Gentlemen never resort to swearing and foul language.

    I’m not telling you how to think MCS, I’m simply strongly expressing an opinion. Your reaction to me reminds me of Novak saying “don’t tell me what to think”.

    Barry was a brilliant player and a huge influence on the success of the Swans. I felt that he was a bit abandoned at the end of his Swans career by an ungrateful playing group and Paul Roos.

    If Barry didn't like being given feedback then he shouldn't have been punching guys in the head...(or attempting to punch them). He cost the side with his actions. I'm sure the young player was frustrated by Barry's actions. I'm glad that our club encourages feedback...that is how we can improve.
