Gah, just when he's hitting form he goes and whacks a bloke. He'll be out for a while, I think he's going to have to be traded. Shame, he was one of those cheaper players that not everyone seemed to have.
 
I'd consider benching him, but with Priddis already injured on my bench, there's a few rounds where I'm going to be totally useless.

I traded him in on Friday, just my luck! Dew better make a miracle recovery from his hammy or I'm gonna have to use another bloody trade! grrr
 
Don't panic you people with Hall in your DT. He'll be able to use three ways of getting off with no suspension.

1: Claim precedence (2005 Prelim Final wack on Matt Macguire).
2: Remind the AFL powers that be that he needs to be playing in the rubbish Vic v The Rest concept game.
3: Blame Ben Cousins

Not that I am bitter or anything! :rolleyes:

If I believed in karma (which I don't) I would have thought it moved pretty quickly - although Hall hurt his non-punching hand.

To add to the previous:
4: Staker shouldn't have had his head in the way anyway.
5: Staker insulted his tattoo.
6: Have the AFL use Roos's Seargent Shultz post game method "I see nothing"
 
wow with gamble looking to be suspended with a similar incident (my emergency)
and tippett very very inconsistant, ill have to trade..:( depends how long hes out tho.

I was saying to brother after the hit that if Goodes gets stuck at FF with Hall out, I'd shoot him in the hand to teach not to be so stupid. Next thing you know, he busts his hand on the rail.
 
Man i rekon that should get 1 week maybe 2 max. Seriously footy is weak these days, it takes out the furocity.

Seriously whats so bad about it? The guy gets up and has a lil bruise maybe a fight occurs whats the big deal? missing 1/3 of a season for a silly punch is crazy.

Im confused why the AFL is trying to take out fights and other small violent things.

You're kidding, right?

you being a st kilda fan, i can see why you might see that as similar to Bazza's incident, but Gamble will get 1 week at most; Hall should be out for 4-5 weeks, because he punched Staker in the jaw; Staker's eyes rolled back and was out for the rest of the game (the footage is all over youtube, just type in 'barry hall'). Dal only copped what looked like a weak jab at the throat, by Gamble. Hunter's throat running into Bazza's hand looked worse.

here's a link to the incident: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_dsiuc169_w

surprised a melee didn't break out...probably because west coast fielded a very young team and who wants to take on Barry Hall. Hall didn't even look that angry when he threw the punch. he barely even looked at Staker when he did it. Hunter also copped a hand to the throat (though, his fault for running straight at Hall) and Waters copped a shirt punch to the chin.

as for Tippett, i think he's been very consistent with his scores in the 30s. i keep thinking that if Maric comes in to ruck (like in the NAB), then Tippett will score more points, but *just checked his DT scores in the NAB cup; he averaged 30s... with 1 outlier; so definitely keeping to consistency there.

as for Barry; definitely out of the team; i'd be surprised if he got less than 4 weeks. because of the 25% discount if you plead guilty rule, a 4 week ban could easily become a petty 3-week ban (i'd be shocked if Barry contested the charge), therefore the tribunal should make it at least 5 or 6 weeks, so the reduced sentence would still be a lot. because let's face it, he deserves many weeks for that.

Hall punched Staker in the face! It was a closed fist whack too.
This is AFL - not boxing.

Yeh so? The harm is minimal compared to other things that are legal in footy.
I rekon he should get 1 or 2 weeks and staker should be able to fight him if he wanted and would get 10 min on bench, same for hall to.

They dont have this rule do they? Where they send a player to the bench for certain amount of time, i think it would be good and could take out some players one week suspensions and hopefully lower all the suspensions
