Hall Free to play

[bikini babe]

The tribuneral were obviously star struck by Sydney's QC.
What a disaster the system has been this year.
With the arguments used last night everywhere on the ground (and perhaps anywhere within 10 miles of the ground) is in play.

Obvious favouritism to Sydney to manufacture increased support up there after Ch. 9s poor coverage has seen audiences drop in Sydney over the past 5 years.

Technically, Barry Hall had to get let off. He was offered ONE match suspension, but a Grand Final is MORE than just one match. Missing a Grand Final for what he did is simply too big a penalty.

Hall free despite murderous rampage

Sydney forward Barry Hall is free to play in the AFL Grand Final this weekend despite having killed three people before last week’s preliminary final against St Kilda.

It has been discovered that Hall stopped off at a 7-11 last Friday night and ruthlessly gunned down three people who were holding him up in the queue by taking too long to pay for a packet of Mentos.

But the AFL Tribunal ruled last night that because Hall had been on his way to the game at the time of the incident, contact could be deemed to be ‘in play’.

They further ruled that his conduct could not be considered ‘deliberate’, only merely ‘reckless’, insofar as it was reckless how he had pulled the gun from his pocket and fired off about 30 rounds. Finally, they also ruled that because the bullets struck the victims mainly in the chest, contact was not head-high and should therefore be considered at the lower end of the scale of offences.

This still left Hall with a total of 1,674,265 points, or a total suspension of 12-15 years, with time off for good behaviour. But there was a 25% reduction for Hall’s guilty plea, and a further 74.9% reduction because of the AFL’s naked determination to give Sydney the best possible chance of winning the Premiership.

The end result is that Hall will not only lead the Swans onto the field this weekend, but has also been promised several unwarranted free kicks – to be taken at a time of his choosing – to compensate him for pain and suffering.

An AFL spokesman said they were happy that justice had prevailed.

“Nobody wants to see a Sydney player … errrr, sorry, any player miss an AFL Grand Final,” the spokesman said. “Unless, of course, it’s a Collingwood player, in which case it’s just funny.

“But we think in this case it’s a good result for football. It’s certainly a good result for Sydney, and therefore a good result for us. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go and help the Swans cheer squad with their banner.”

The spokesman did concede, however, that the Hall decision had caused problems for the League.

“Hell yeah, it meant we also had to let Gaspar off for his blatant elbow as a square-off. So don’t think we haven’t suffered.”

Yea he didnt murder anyone. But he committed an offence that was worthy of a report and maybe a suspension. So cut all the crap about how the AFL is so tough.
