      I own up and admit I said that the Barry Hall punch had the potential to derail our season. And it certainly did.

      I still think his punch was a stupid, selfish act. I also believe that we would have beaten North and possibly WB with Hall in the side.

      I also believe that he has done his 7 weeks, done the crime. Now time to move on.

          I own up...I thought along the lines that we were going along quite nicely and without bother .....that will teach me....boom...left hook.

          I am naturallly morbid so I immediately went into worst case scenario.

            For the sake of pedantry, and knowing it has the potential to make you feel better about yourself - it should be proven wrong.

            Sorry to sound so pompous.

              I always have faith in the Swans, despite Hall's punch being stupid.

              My faith in the team never wanes.

                    I believe I had the same sentiments at the time. IRC I said someting along the lines that it was a selfish non team oriented act and I still believe that.

                    I was angry because we were travelling well and something dumb like that which is way out of character for our club, could have had drastic affects.

                    No way I am eating humble pie. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

                    On Bevo I have commented on how well he is playing but have always said he was not a defender. They "experimented" for 3 seasons with him as a defender and he was miserable in that he made far too many errors, did dumb things, was adept at picking out the oppostion and had little awareness of opponents around him etc.etc.

                      Oh... The old James Hird strategy??? Slam the crap out of them (umpires), blame them for all the ills of the world, come back begging and turn into their best mate and be forever marked as an untouchable for the rest of your playing career????

                        I still don't get that train of thought.
                        It was in the heat of the moment.
                        I'm sure had he had a few seconds to think about it, it wouldn't have happened.

                        Now if he had gone out purposefully to attack someone a-la Yates Vs Brereton, than that would have been a different story.

                            History will prove Barry was innocent and it was Staker's fault.

                              If it was 2005 it could have been deemed "in play".

                                If we follow the heat of the moment argument then we can release half the murders in Australia.

                                As I understand he had a couple of hours to think about it since his argument with his ex.
