    Next on the captaincy roster - Barry Hall

    This according to Ch 10 news.

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

    Vicky Pollard: Oh my god I so can't believe you just said that this is like the time I threw Anita's nokia in the canal as a joke and she's like you have well got to buy me another one and I'm like get over it and then Paul came over who's adopted anyway and started saying that I fancy Mark Bennett but oh my god just because I have sex with someone doesn't mean I fancy them.

    I reckon he will get 3 brownlow votes this week, kick 8 goals, the team kicks 25 goals including 4 Schnieder crumbing goals and the umpiring is sensational...

    Wake me up now!

    In seriousness I think Barry will lead the team well...good luck!

    This could either be really, really good or really, really bad.

    I love this quote of Barry Hall's in the SMH breaking news of his impending leading of the Swans.

    Hall said: "I'm pretty excited and very honoured. I've never been a captain, ever, even in junior days."

    Never been a captain, well Barry your first instruction to the team should be..."Kick it long, kick it straight down the middle and kick it to me"!

    Go Swans!

    I think this comment says alot
    Hall said it was bad for morale when a teammate looked to pass rather than show enough confidence to take the shot for goal inside the 50-metre circle.

    Matt you must have missed this bit in the article
    Hall joked the best way forward for the Swans was to simply kick long to the skipper.

    Great to see the captain and I fully agree on this week's match tactics!

    God I hate this rotation policy. Kirk did an ok job, but Leo Barry had too tough games with the expectation of 3 wins and "ugly" comments on him as well. It was too much.

    Now that everyone's written off the swans, the pressure is off Hall a bit.

    How can they possibly pick one at the end of the year abjectively.

    If..... Sydney had a 2nd team, and Matthews ran out as captain, I'd be over to BlueAndWhiteOnline.com for good.

    I don't think there's any extra pressure on Barry. He has two games to prove himself - full stop.
