        Yes, I was gonna have a quiet one the night after the Brownlow - not now.

        Apparently Barry won't be called to speak at all.

        Also the Silk representing Barry is in good form - he got the bloke off the David Hookes 'incident'.

          Perhaps there is an AFL live feed of this for Big Pond users. If anyone has this live, maybe we could go into the chatroom for live updates?

            *IF* Barry doesn't get off I would not try and take it further - won't do us much good I don't think.

            BUT I reckon he is an 80% chance to get off at the moment.

            The Daily Telegraph will be bring out the HUUUUUUUUUGE font either way.

                The dude on Ch 10 news that was talking about it said that it was likely for Barry Hall to plead guilty then get downgraded blah blah with some of this and negligent that and the in play, not behind play and be right for the Grand Final.

                    makes perfect sense, that's just about how i would interpret legal speak..

                      Listening to SEN in Melbourne, they are giving live updates every 10 mins or so.

                      Here's whats happened so far..

                      Swans are not challenging the negligent aspect of the charge, only the "in play" classification.

                      Barry just gave his evidence before the Tribunal. Went for about 15 mins apparently. The main focus of his evidence was that he was making position at the time he struck Maguire.

                      Tribunal is currently looking at video footage being supplid by Swans team.

                        I reckon the "in play" clause will be the most important.

                        I think it will be relatively easy to prove this under the rules as they stand - especially after seeing the Rioli incident the AFL used to demonstrate at the start of the year.

                            why wouldn't they challenge both and hope to get one of them over the line

                              SEN sounds better than 3AW - they are talking to Worsfold - where's Bondy?

                              This would have got huuuuge TV ratings if Fox Footy were allowed to telecast it!

                                IMHO we have no hope with the negligent tack - too hard to prove.

                                So, him playing or not (and maybe a flag) comes down to 1 word:

                                IN play or
                                BEHIND play!

                                goooooooooooo IN!
