Not much really pisses me off.
That would.
I would hope that they are a team of mates who regognise that he made a mistake.
I would also hope that they would feel no need to try and MAKE IT LOOK AS IF they were all saints who were genuinely upset with Halls actions.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Sorry, haven't read past post 5. Berate me if I've repeated anything.
I thought he'd get eight weeks, so he's already one up in my books!!
The injury should take at least 10 (12 to fully recover). We may not see him till at least Round 15?
Should keep him in the game till 2010.
Noice.

7 is fair enough, I have made the following comment on the Hun site
I think Barry was stupid, however if the umpires had have being doing their job correctly and given a free against Staker for holding on behind play, which is clear on the video this wouldn't have happened. Barry was wrong in striking Staker, but the umpires need to pay more attention to what happens off the ball. Also I believe that this niggling, prodding, holding antics that go on need to be banned as well, just play the game and get rid of these tacticComment

Well lets agree to disagree, as I said BBB did the wrong thing, but look further into it. Would he have done it if Staker hade been pinged for holding the man "which is shown on video". Provocation isn't a defence, but if a defender is constantly niggling you what do you do, offer him a bunch of roses to get him off your back.
People are human, in a role I am in sometimes I get pushed a bit too far and sometimes, and very rarely I lash out verbally. Sometimes I regret it, but at times it's a necessity to tell people that I won't tolerate the crap anymore.
I am not condoning what BBB did, it wasn't necessary but human psychology would see it as a defensive action that a person that was pushed to the brink, and given that there was no intervention (umpires) his frustration was brought to bare.Comment

I just visited a non-sporting board that's got a thread discussing the topic and they said yet another case where the AFL has gone soft on the Swans. *sigh*Comment

Its a more then fair outcome, the lynch mobs down south would of wanted a lot more and out west but 7 weeks is more then fair. If the original charge was 11 weeks, well imo that is excessive compared to previous cases (Granted the tribunal system has changed significatly) but in the end I think a fair conclusion was come to.
Cant Believe Mooney got off- that was a blatant trip and deserved a couple of weeks holiday imo. But Geelong are now the darlings of the AFL and get away with more then they should.
Will be interesting to see how we go on Saturday. Im quietly confident but also half expecting to get a touch up. But footy is a funny game and you just never know.
And gossipcom it wouldnt matter what we do or who is playing for us, the afl is always going 'soft' on us, or so many would want to believe. Its total trash talkand best just ignored."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

How the @@@@ did Mooney get away with tripping?Comment
