CibbuanoSwans had no choice over Hall: Roos

SYDNEY had no choice but to suspend spearhead Barry Hall indefinitely, according to coach Paul Roos.
The Swans suspended Hall indefinitely on Monday saying he was not mentally fit to play in the AFL at the moment following his one-match suspension for attempting to strike Collingwood defender Shane Wakelin at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night.
Hall's latest indisrection comes in just his third match back following the completion of a seven-match suspension for striking West Coast utility Brent Staker in a behind-the-play incident in round four.
Roos said the decision to stand down Hall was made in the interests of the club.
"In a way, it wasn't a hard decision. It was the only decision we could make as a football club," Roos said.
Club psychologist Grant Brecht will decide if and when Hall returns to football.
