Leo Barry (born 19 May 1977) is a retired Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League (AFL) with the Sydney Swans.
Originally from
In 2001, Swans coach Rodney Eade moved Barry to the backline, where he prospered. Despite being short for a fullback at 184 cm, he has successfully played on much taller opponents, making use of his leaping skills and using his body well. Regularly playing on opponents 10–15 cm taller than he is, Barry rarely has multiple goals kicked upon him. Barry's unique defensive ability is observed in 2004 when Barry kept 196 cm St Kilda full forward Fraser Gehrig to two handballs for the whole game (for this effort, he received three Brownlow Medal votes).[1]
Despite being only 184 cm tall, Barry is surprisingly strong which has become a useful necessity for him when facing taller opponents such as Fraser Gehrig,
, amongst others.In Round 10, 2005, he had the embarrassing honour of being the fullback playing on Gehrig in what was the St Kilda forward's 200th game, where he kicked eight goals in the match playing on Barry. In Round 1, 2006, he was the fullback playing on Essendon full-forward Matthew Lloyd in what was the latter's first game as Essendon captain; Barry had six of Lloyd's eight goals kicked against him.[2][3]
Barry has twice been included in the All-Australian team, in 2004 and 2005.[4]
On 18 August 2009, Barry announced he would retire from football at the end of the current season.[5]
Barry is now an AFL commentator on
"That Mark"
Barry will always be remembered as the player who "caught the cup" for the Swans. Not only did he ensure the victory for the Swans but Barry's backline heroics were instrumental to the Swans' success which culminated with one of Barry's trademark spectacular marks during the
"Cox throws it onto the left, one last roll of the dice for THE EAGLES! Leo Barry you star!..(siren in background)..The longest premiership drought in football history is over! For the first time in 72 years the Swans are the champions of the AFL!"
This image was later used by Tabcorp for promotional purposes, with Barry claiming that the image was "worth A$50,000",[6] despite other players being featured in the photo.
