What an absolute @@@@ing joke - I seriously cannot believe someone can be reported for throwing another player to the ground who doesn't even get hurt. If it was so bad why did the umpires not pay a free? Plenty of worse things happen in the game. This should not even have gone before the tribunal - should be thrown out immediately!
If Read is not cited then the whole system really is stuffed!!Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

That's the key IMO, the umpires evidence will be pretty crucial. Didn't even consider stopping play, the boundary ump being instructed to throw in immediately. Note the report was laid by the Video Reports dude so even the umps didn't consider it in their review.Originally posted by NMWBloods

Completely laughable situation. Yet another completely pointless trip down to Melbourne for Baz.Comment

He should get a couple of weeks. AFL is supposed to be a non-contact sport... isn't it?

it is pathetic especially when hally gets the rough end of the pineapple each week in regards to free kicks. you only have to lay a hand on players like lloyd, hird and voss and it is an instant free kick.Last edited by benny_w; 16 August 2004, 01:28 PM.Comment

Should be interesting this weekend then. Lloyd the untouchable and Hally the, um.... touchable???!!!
Watched the replay and I genuinely think there is nothing in it. The softest report I can think of.
Anyone see the Melb players jumper punching Stuie in the head when he came to Hally's (who had two guys on him) aide??!! Also, Jude got an elbow in the head.Comment

Gee, it's not April 1 is it?
If Hall has been cited for anything that occured on the boundary line during the third quarter then, quite simply, he has been cited for just being Barry Hall.Comment

You can not get suspended for swinging a guy by his jumper.
Like I said in another thread, the only reason why this was called up was tremendous pressure by the media.
I've been pretty spot on with the tribunal the whole year and I would be incredibly surprised if Barry gets suspended.
He did swing Nicholson after the tackle but the fact is that Nicholson was the one who retaliated and the influx of other players did not help matters.
Barry is only guilty of swinging Nicholson to the ground, but after that there's nothing to it. Barry was charged with 'unduly rough play' but what he did looked considerably less than most of the wrestling charges which go up.
For instance I would be surprised if Read did not get rubbed out for striking Stuey.
Paul Gough is an idiot (http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=new...ticleid=166126)
He says that Barry would be a chance of missing the finals if found guilty given his bad record. Get three weeks for pushing and shoving? You must be joking.
The Swans evidence will be that Nicholson was deliberately provoking and prodding Barry the whole night and the incident itself was fuelled by Nicholson going on with it after being slung to the ground. Nicholson's evidence will confirm this and to Barry's benefit will talk down what actually happened on the night saying it was no more than pushing and shoving.
After all, its not Barry's fault that other players rush in and make it worse than it is.
On viewing of the evidence the tribunal will dismiss the charge.Comment

The problem is the MELBOURNE MEDIA has obviously had an influence in this matter after continuously referring to the matter and showing pictures of it in Sunday's and Monday's papers...under heading of "Hall brawl fear...an ugly boundary line incident sparked by ...Barry Hall".
They seem to love pointing out all his actions whenever even remotely construed as rough tactics.

even if found guilty surely would only warrant a fine, not much difference between that and the shoving in that Hawks / Dons melee.LIFE GOES ONComment

utter crap.. i'm sick of the anti-barry mentality!!shake it like a polaroid pictureComment

I was sitting next to the Melbourne bench and saw Hall tackle Nicholson and sling him to the ground which is perfectly legal!! Then Nicholson was the one that had a go at Hall and everyone else joined in. It is absolutely ridiculous that he has been reported. Hopefully the tribunal sees sense!Comment

Hmmm conspiracy theories anyone, in the lead up to probably the Swans biggest match in terms of qualifying for the finals and this happens. So now Barry and the club have a interupted training schedule (assuming they fly down to defend him
), lets face it if there was anything in it the Dees player would still be stuck into the TD turf

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
