"Lockett is the best of all time" - Robert Harvey, Darrel Baldock, Nathan Burke, Kevin Bartlett, Bob Skilton -
The hysterics over here in the media is getting ridiculous. So far, we've had comments from Stakers parents, his grandmother and various "experts".
In The Worst Australian newspaper this morning, a big back page article by some bloke who was punched by Barry in a reserves game in 1997 saying "I knew he would do it again". Also there are comments by John Greening a Collingwood player who was punched in the jaw in 1972, Mark Bickley who was the offender in 2002, shattering Darryl Wakelin's cheekbone and Russell Morris who was knocked out in 1988.
Is there anybody else that hasn't commented? Perhaps we should ask Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton how many weeks Barry should get? Maybe the Queen could throw her 5 cents worth in too? I know....we haven't asked the netballers or the Australian Olympic team or the Pope what they think!!
I'm not condoning what he has done, nor am I defending him (ok, maybe slightly but I did feel ill when I saw saw it), but damn, he did what he did, it was a disgraceful act, now people (well maybe just the media) should build a bridge and get over it. What's done is done and no amount of whingeing or comments from ex players back in 1972, grandmothers, doctors or priests is going to alter his punishment when it comes.
I think mass murderers, rapists and in-house trading stockbrokers get more of a fair trial???
PS. Apart from typing and press the Send button, I'm pretty much computer illiterate so can't post a link, sorry!!!I might have a slight drinking problem. My husband asked me to toast some bread for him...so I raised my wine glass and said "Here's to bread!"Comment

I went to look for the article you refer to Schneiderpig so I could post it, but I couldn't get past the Worst Australian's poll (and it's resuts) ...
How long should Barry Hall get ?
4 weeks - 12%
8 weeks - 25%
Rub him out for the season - 63%.
Good grief. Are they they only choices??
What a load of crap.
Anyhow, back to finding the article ....Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

There are a couple of enlightened souls on the Letters page who say Barry should go the whole season and then be charged with assault.
This, coming from supporters of a club that have been "Holier Than Thou" in the last 12 months?? From my experience of E-gurls supporters, they are all bandwagon jumpers. Watch them jump off this year when their team remain near the bottom of the ladder.I might have a slight drinking problem.

Staker=softcock.
What Bazza did wasnt good,but it wasnt a king hit.
He hit him front on this=Not a king hit
If he had of hit him in the back of the head or from the side this=A king hit.
Now staker looks like a big girl with his mum carrying on.
Bazza has been hung drawn and quarted already.
The media has hung him out to dry.
Like the Underbelly situation(court cases) in Victoria,it should be put on the back burner for a while to let things simmer down.
Lets not loose perspective of the game,it was a great win by the Swans over an arch rival.Which was marred by i silly split second action.Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
