    If he does, there is something terribly wrong with our tribunal system.
    - Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!

      Logic tells me he won't, because logic tells me he can't.

      This is, however, the tribunal, and this is Barry Hall. When Barry Hall is concerned, the tribunal and logic have an inverse relationship.

          After Charmond from Brisbane was suspended, I just don't know if they take logic into account.

            The even more bizarre one was when Scarlett king-hit Reiwoldt but it was dismissed because the video footage couldn't quite tell exactly where the punch connected, even though it was pretty obvious is was the mouth as Riewoldt went off with a bloody mouth. If Scarlett gets off for that how on earth good Hall be suspended. Then again, the Charman incident was absurd, and the tribunal are a bunch of idiots, so I voted yes.

              Voted yes, logic says no, but we all know the AFL tribunal doesn't operate by logic

                    I am fairly certain he will cop a suspension.

                    Based on three things.

                    The consistent inconsistency of the tribunal.

                    Scarlett off, Charman weeks, Licuria off, Koschitske weeks, ... Where is the rationale behind any of these.

                    Secondly. Everyone up this week has got off or just been fined

                    Thirdly. Suspending Barry Hall is big news. The media love it only slightly less than a tribunal hearing involving Plugger.

                    Voted yes. Not that I think he should but yes cause I think he will

                      If there is no vision then they can't. Simple as that. You could take it to court and win easily following the Scarlett one. In that case it WAS on video (but a bit blurry in the background) and it WAS seen by an ump.

                      The tribunal said that was not enough they NEED clear video.

                      I think that that decision was absolute nonsense, but that's the way they called it.

                      How the hell does Kosi get a week and not Licuria? That is madness. Licuria made (light) contact around the knee FFS! How can they say one deserves suspension and not the other??????
