Barry Hall to Lead Swans into Finals Battle
So common sense has finally taken place within the walls of Driver Ave, with the club deciding to drop the rotation of the captaincy for the finals series that "could" of resulted in Ben Mathews leading the club into a Grand Final.
While the move has turned out to be better than expected and exposed players to a leadership role they might never of been exposed to, the fact the club could of been lead by Ben Mathews in a Grand Final meant the club had to re-think the policy and yesterday Paul Roos hinted that Barry Hall was all but going to be the captain come the final.
“I got some feedback from the leadership group today and they were reasonably keen for just one guy to do it during the finals,”
and
“I suppose as coach I am probably the one that makes the decisions but I will take this feedback, get feedback from the other coaches and we will make a decision next week.”
Clearly the club and leadership group saw Barry Hall was the perfect option for captain during the finals and is sure to be a captain that spreads fear into the hearts of the teams we will come up against in the coming weeks.
