    Some people, just go on and on, you know? You're one of them!

    But hey, I can't defend Roos, people like you are always right.

    By the way, that last sentence was sarcasm.
    You haven't argued yet.

      There is no doubt Roos knew what Hall had done. he was in contact with other coaches up in the box, and he can see video screens from ground level....and he may have been wondering why play stopped for a little while after.

      As to whether he should have dragged him...... that his business.
      In hindsight....yes.

          It's a statement of fact. Can you give a reason as to why Hall was not dragged? It was the biggest brain snap in recent years from a Swans player, and clearly a selfish act. Should have been benched. Spent the next 90 mins running around like a bloke planning 6 weeks on the beach.

            Didn't Roosy say he didn't see the incident?

              Probably, he didn't see Davis kick the goal that put us in front of Geelong in 2005 either. They should stoip him from taking mirrors to the game.

                And since Davo has been brought into this, how does Barry's roundhouse left compare to a lack of pressure in the forward 50.

                I agree that Barry should have been dragged.

                  That is a very good question. Which is worse? Surely such a dumb act is outside the band of brothers bull@@@@ they like to use to justify the exclusion of those outside the clique. Never mind the judiciary, what sentence will the leadership group impose?

                    This is the good bit ... all sentences will be served at once.

                    Had he not damaged his wrist - he probably would have gone through the wringer.

                    He's injured ... everything else is moot now.

                      I hope he gets off but the leadership group make him drive Ben Matthews to Canberra for 12 weeks.

                            I agree, it was a pathetic act and he will pay for it. However I can't see why Roos would punish the whole team by reducing the bench to 3 which effects the midfield rotations.

                              He probably didnt see the incident "live". I was there and I didnt. But I, a humble supporter,10 rows back at the other end of the ground, was certainly aware of it within about 10 seconds.

                              Impossible with Roos' communication network on top of mine, that he could not be aware of what happened.

                              Roos is just saying he didnt see it, because he doesnt want to answer questions about it to the media.

                                Not for the whole game. Roos should have got him off. Not even to give him a bake (although it would have been warranted), but to give him some chance to get his head right.
