Bullsh_t charge. He shouldn't be rubbed out for something so insignificant, and for him to miss a grand final is much too harsh a penalty. If anything, give him a suspended sentence.
And to those eagles supporters coming out with comments like "its his own fault", i suggest you open your eyes. If this happened to an Eagle you would all by crying & screaming how the AFL is conspiring against the WCE.

ha ha haYeah, players should have an open slather to punch anyone whenever they want, regardless of where the ball is, as long as they steer clear of the head.

For a perfect example of "thuggery" as you could it.
Look at the NRL - Carl Webb KING HIT a Melbourne Storm player (Ryan Hoffman).
Now that's thuggery.
What Hall did was niggly, players do it from time to time due to the tension of the game. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be suspended though.
Do you think players that jumper punch are thugs?
Daniel Chick smacked Micky O'Loughlin in the jaw in the QF and DIDN'T get reported, let alone suspended. Both players were at each other all game. Now I have no problem with this. This is what football is all about.
A PHYSICAL CONTEST!!

Terrific post. It is sad that a great player may miss the biggest game of them all, but at the end of the day he has no one to blame but himself. Too many people are trying to point the blame elsewhere when there is only one person at fault. Quit blaming the AFL and McGuire, because if Hall had of kept his fists to himself no one would be discussing this at all.

Re: Hall offered 2 Weeks
You don't seem to understand what the Swans will need to prove in order to get Hall off, and you don't seem to understand that Hall's record is of zero relevance. Zero!
You made a stupid comparison with Ricciuto's suspension and claimed that as a reason Hall should get off.
You've got no idea.
Express all the opinions you like. Just don't pretend that they match up with reality.
As for whether WC can/will win if Hall plays, I haven't taken a stance either way on that, so there's another baseless conclusion you've been happy to draw.
You're on a roll.
I'm just pointing out that you don't understand the procedure.jorel6669 said:

Re: Hall offered 2 Weeks
There's a 25% discount on the demerit points if you enter an early plea.
Hall can contest elements of the charge and then plead guilty to a lesser charge.
That's what most of the last 20 pages have been about.
Hall will probably contest the "location grading". He'll claim it was "in play" rather than "behind play". If he's successful, he'll only face 5 activation points which is a level 1 striking charge.
If he enters an early plea to that lesser charge he will escape with a reprimand.
I wasn't aware there was such a thing as "1 match discount".Sloth said:

Re: Hall offered 2 Weeks
It never ceases to amaze me how keen some people are to express trenchant opinions on issues they clearly have very little understanding of.
They may as well be arguing about crop rotation principles in the 15th century.
They seem to have as many clues about that as they do about the tribunal's workings. But that doesn't stop them from having an opinion.
Whatever you do, don't tell them off for expressing an opinion, no matter how uninformed they might be.
It's tough explaining it to people isn't it?arrowman said:

Does anyone know if it was deemed to be in play or behind play?

It might be worthwhile for some people to have a quick read of the 2005 AFL tribunal system pdf which explaines everything. I don't have the link for it - but if you can find the pdf pay particular attention to "example F" towards the end of the document if you're interested in what hall can do to get off.

Um, it wasn't insignificant. Macguire doubled over and Hall got free as a result.
Bottom line, YOU CANNOT PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE STOMACH & EXPECT TO GET AWAY WITH IT.
The AFL hates 'behind the play' incidents.
