Sydney will argue that as the ball comes forward, Hall runs to meet it. Then, when St Kilda's Brett Voss bats the ball back towards the wing, Hall doubles back towards goal. Once Matthews regains possession, Hall punches Maguire in an attempt to free himself for a second lead. If the defence is successful, he will still plead guilty to striking but will be free to play on Saturday.

Makes me feel relieved somewhat!

Video footage viewed by The Australian yesterday and available to the tribunal tonight shows conclusively that at the time of Hall's strike, Sydney's Ben Matthews had the ball and was running towards the Swans' forward line.

Good article.

I'm more confident that it should be deemed 'In Play'.

Barry is definitely in play if Mathews had the ball, according to the AFL DVD passed out regarding if something is 'In Play' (the Rioli scenario) or 'Behind Play' (the Holland scenario).
