      It was not unnecessary if you watch it closely.

      I have watched it a number of times tonight from the tape. Hall grabs Nicholson INSIDE field of play whilst in possession. He swings him around (as you normally would regardless of the fact that there is a boundary line) and actually takes it easy on him once Nicholson goes over the boundary line - virtualy assisting him to the ground rather than slamming him.

      Hall could easily have slung him very hard into the fence (and been justifiably cited) given the momentum from inside the field of play, but took it easy and avoided any potential injury.

      This is a truely shameful chapter in the existence of the umpires and I am not going to stick up for them any more as their vendetta has gone way too far.

        Just in case anyone is still trying to convince themselves there is no Hall conspiracy and/or trial by media, check out the following.

          WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON.....

          The report was lodged to the Swans ON SUNDAY NIGHT, before a complete review of the game was undertaken.

          THIS IS ****ING INSANE

            The umpires have clearly agreed amongst themselves to a vendetta against Hall. Its extraordinary. I am almost beyond words about it.

              Interesting to note that Roosy is ENCOURAGING supporters to follow BOTH the Swans and the Wallabies. Could this generate some hate mail from some RWOers??

                heh HEH !

                i was just going to make a point about that, how nice it was of him, which I dont mind, of plugging the rugger.

                My point is, would the ARU do the same?

                  My opinion on Barry's entire demeanour during the game is that he took Roos words before the game to heart. Specifically (if you listen to Tadghs after-match interview) he told them not to giveup any 50m penalties.

                  So even after copping a knee to the head early in the game, Barry patiently listened to Mclueless tell him off for taking offence to the attention. Then if you look carefully, he pulled his punch to Nicholson during the melee, and ignored that wanker Broadbridge, choosing to walk away after being taken in a headlock by White. Very un-Barry like.

                  Yet he is the ONLY ONE reported to date.

                    I think the umpires should apologise to Hall for causing his frustration by ignoing all the attention he receives, with a lack of free Kicks.

                      If Hall gets suspended - why not do like we did to White line fever - deluge AFL tribunal and umpires - fair go for Sydney.

                        The simple fact is that it was nothing more than you see at every second game of footy.

                        The real concern is Hall being cited before the match review.

                        How in the @@@@ does that happen?

                        Once again we have a crucial match this weekend and we are being @@@@@@ over by the system.

                        I would also like to know why the HUN web site dedicated 6 photos to just that incident labelling it "Barry Hall back to bad ways". What a crock of @@@@.

                          There is definitely a conspiracy. Roos should have publicly stated that he knows the AFL want Essendon in the final but this is going a bit too far. Are they that scared of the Gestapo AFL?

                                If anyone still wants to get even more worked up over this whole incident, check out this thread over at BF. Someone has posted the investigations officers reports into all other incidents he reviewed from the weekend's matches, together with reasons why he decided not to lay charges.

                                Phil Read is not even mentioned.

                                MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE The AFL wishes to advise the following charges have been laid from the weekend's review of matches. Details are as follows: Steve Johnson, Geelong, reported by AFL Investigations Officer Rick Lewis for engaging in a melee during the fourth...
