Sucked in Barry! Sydney Swans star forward Barry Hall had a very, very bad Grand Final, and only got 12 possessions, whilst his team went down to West Coast by a measly point. He can’t get over it, specially not after his kindly mum clipped all the bad press and gave it to him to read (she clips good press as well, so she’s not being cruel, just a teensy bit more honest than is perhaps necessary).
Those of us who go for other teams think that it was most heartening to discover Barry Hall is, after all, mortal. And fallible! I say, SUCKED IN BARRY. What do youse think?

I don’t think sucked in as I have no connection or affiliation for West Coast nor do I take any particular joy in the failure of someone I don’t know or have any disliking for.

but dj, that is the basis of being a sporting fanatic.
Boo, Five. Bazza will be back better then eva next year.

Bazza is all Sydney. So what? One sleepy game and the cleats come out? On a two year grand final aggregate the Swannies are still ahead.

By three points!
Boo to you Shaun. Big Bad Barry is Bad at Football. Hooray!
Mind you, Spider Everitt is joining the Swans now, so they have become very interesting. I have to say that I took a dim view of Barry saying that they were going to tell Spider how to fit into their namby pamby leadership group, especially since, as we all know, he didn’t exactly fit in himself during the Grand Final.

Now Shaun, if the topic had been John Howard’s cricketing ability, I would have replied with a mocking tone, some choice adjectives and far more venality.

Just imagine Barry Hall with John Howard’s head.
Works for me.
