i was sad to wake up this morning

was tempted to sleep til about 6pm monday and then just wake up to hear the news on hally.

I think all the media talk may force the hand of schwabb


Ill feel sorry for hall if he gets rubbed out, but i believe strongly it wont make a difference we will win.... i think

Good luck for the Grand Final. In a lot of ways you guys need the victory much more than WCE. The city of Sydney needs it and the long suffering South Melbourne supporters need it. What we don't need is the watering down of a bloody stupid act by the acting captain of your club. The facts are that he hit an opposition player, the ball was nowhere to be seen, the opposing player was in distress, he was attented to by trainers and Hall ran on to take an unopposed mark while the other guy was being treated. These are the facts and if Sydney try and take it to court it just shows that they cannot abide by the laws of the AFL. Put yourself in the shoes of West Coast and see how you would feel.

Enjoy Summer.

Grand Final losses are more bitter than Prelim losses.

Obviously not in your case.

As i am a magpies supporter and a swans supporter (unless there playing collingwood), it was devistating that we lost Rocca and to a slighter extent, cloke, in the Grand Final a few years ago.

Hall wont be playing this Saturday, basicaly theres no excuse for what he did, and for the captain of the side he should have known better. The punishment wont justify what he did as missing out on a grand final is a realy harsh penalty but Rocca etc had to pay the price and so should Hall.

Basicaly its a lose lose situation for the AFL.

IF Hall gets off it shows just how inconsistent and rigged the tribunal is, if he gets suspended the Swans will be worst off and from an AFL perspective it would be a much better financial interest for the Swans to win.

Go have another look and see what Rocca did and then compare it to Hall.

We already know how inconsistent the tribunal is. Compare the Gehrig suspension with the no suspension for Koschitzke on Corey and a couple of the Glenn Archer efforts.

Well going by the Glen Archer incident Baz should be lining up next week.

[punter257]

yeah i'm sick of people talking about the gehrig incident and as soon as you mention archer and koschitzke they dont say boo

[swansrule100]

im sick of it being talked about full stop. He did nothing maguire was all over hall like a bad smell all night.

Why do people go on about gehrigs, they all said it was wrong at the time, but then people say because of that hall has to go. Well if it was wrong to suspend fraser, shouldnt hall get off? or do they have to keep making mistakes so its fair?

It sounds like Demitriou is a bit scared. Definitely lose-lose situation for the AFL.

Don't have it on tape. How do you think it compares?
