Talking Footy

Just heard on the news update that Baz has been cited. What a fucking joke. A tummy tap results in a tribunal appearance. Footy is getting so weak.

A punch in the stomach when his opponent is looking the other way! I'd say that was pretty gutless!

Remember last year's Grand Final when Jonathon Brown got 6 weeks for punching an opponent who was fighting him face-to-face? It was a gutless and despicable act of someone not thinking straight (much like your conduct of late Beaussie!)

His fist was clenched and it took McGuire several minutes to compose himself!

You cannot punch people in a game of AFL. It's against the rules - are you disputing this too?

The tribunal has in the later stages of this season overlooked comparable incidents. The Jonathan Brown incident can hardly be compared to the tummy tap on Friday night. Barry has nothing to answer for and if need be should fight it all the way in the courts.

It was not a punch anyway. How a tummy tap can be described as a punch is beyond belief. You sound like the Melbourne media intent on seeing Baz rubbed out just because the Saints and the hope of Victoria were dashed.

Hall's a thug and every thug always gets his day.

Brown's absence for 6 weeks cost Brisbane dearly this season and his more restricted temper this year has not helped out the Lions when they could have used a bit more venim.

Fuck Hall for his brain explosion - punching someone while they are not looking is a low act. Cut this tummy tap shite - its the principle. They had no choice but to cite him.

Fight what in the courts? He has not even had his case heard yet, the court would not even entertain an application. Fuck I thought you knew something about the law - obviously you've had your head too far up other blokes arseholes to worry about textbooks!

In my legal training and from the evidence I have seen regarding Barry Hall I would say that he is guilty and should be rubbed out!

Should he be suspended, the courts are most certainly the option to take ala 1996 with Dunkley and the Supreme Ct injunction allowing him to play in the GF.

My god are you a league fan. If you saw the Hall incident on a league field would you be shouting for him to be suspended? Like I said, it was a fucking tummy tap with Maguire being nothing more than a dog diving in the hope of a free kick.

A tummy tap!....holy allah! This guy's action should warrant a full police investigation.

The 96 legal action for Dunkley was granted because the AFL didn't advise Sydney until Wednesday that he had a case to answer. It was upheld by the court on the basis that in the business of GF week and everything else that only notifying the Swans on a Wednesday was manifestly inadequate. The court made no decision about the incident itself.

This is much different. Those stupid Swans have been notified on the first working day after the incident on a Monday. Try arguing the Dunkley line in court this week and see how far you get!

1 week for a plea and 2 weeks if he contests I reckon.

Considering he kicks 25% of the Swans goals, I'd say they're rooted!

Gee you don't learn do you. My god, how many times have you made an arse of yourself this season with stupid predictions about the Swans.

Barry Hall will play on Saturday no doubt about it.

Care to have a wager on that Beaussie?

With you, as if.

He's think about it and will get back to you 10 minutes after the tribunal's decision
