With Barry he said in an interview with Mike Sheehan that towards the end of his Swans tenure that young Swans players used to give it to him in the “Leading Teams” forums.

I was appalled to hear that young Swans upstarts were giving feedback to Barry and trying to look like a leader. How dare a young Swans player question a premiership captain like Barry. He didn’t name who the young player was but I have my suspicions.

Does anyone know who the young upstart was who dared to question Barry.
Barry was a champion but he also had a few flaws in his capacity to control his anger. I've got no problem with any one of his team mates calling out any crap of his. He lost the trust of the leadership group, they needed him to stay composed and lead them, not sit on the sidelines suspended.
