Barry Halls K.O.

CADSKY · 12-04-2008, 11:05 PM

hey guys, just finnished watching the sydney V west coast game and just wondering what many of you think about barry's punch on staker? im a sydney fan and am dissapointed that he did it cos i think he'll miss about 6 weeks but i think its great for entertainment, has to be the best punch i have seen in the AFL ever.

galaxy xr8 · 12-04-2008, 11:21 PM

Yeah he gave him a good love kiss that's for sure. he's broken his wrist anyway, so he's out for a while.

Geez Louise · 12-04-2008, 11:23 PM

I couldn't believe it when I saw that.....Barry was having a stretch....Staker walked into it....Barry is innocent!

you should be on his defence team on tuesday night lol

i dont think he has a broken wrist but at least he did it when he is going to be out for a while anyway

He deserves to get at least 6 weeks for that, and based on his past, maybe even more.
It's about time that AFL introduces the yellow and red card system like in Soccer.
So there!!

His past has no affect on the outcome. The AFL has a points system which carries over each year but Barry's clear of any past points atm so it's purely on that hit and how bad they judge to how many points he will get. Lets leave the red/yellow card system to soccer, why change our game after 150 years.

Barry being an ex boxer, maybe he heard a bell instead of a whistle

Geez Louise · 12-04-2008, 11:34 PM

Barry is a god....met him a few months ago...like his mum says...salt of the earth!!

He gets my vote for best player in the AFL. When half time was on...see how upset he was??? He was bawlin...

CADSKY · 12-04-2008, 11:43 PM

yeah i know, i thought he was crying. you could just see how peed off roos and longmire were the whole match, even though they won by 10 goals they wernt happy at all!

LUXO_8 · 12-04-2008, 11:56 PM

it was a dog act, Karma came through though

SubJimbo · 12-04-2008, 11:59 PM

That was a prime hit . .

Did you see stalkers eyes after he got hit? That made the hit look even worse, Barry is a big boy.

And apparently he has broken his wrist . . I think that he thought that the signs were Metal, Not cardboard, Therefor was trying to run into it and stop himself, but the thing gave way.

See.... Innocent mishap... he was turning around and his fist met the other guys face....Totally innocent!!! :yeees:

ford_baute · 13-04-2008, 12:05 AM

Shame to see barry do that but a bit of biff makes it interesting but that was a bit to much. I wonder if the bloods will be back this year!! Even though his played a few good weeks we still have grundy and davis to take his place. Plus his form last year wasnt great should be interesting to see where who gets dropped etc when barry, spider and malceski are all back because the side looked good tonight!!

RG · 13-04-2008, 12:07 AM

Top hit, good to see the Eagles copping it so hard.

Windsor220 · 13-04-2008, 12:20 AM

Staker was lucky to be saved from that embarrasing performance by West Coast. Was funny watching Waters stand up to Hall at quarter time and all the other eagles are just standing back watching.

Geez Louise · 13-04-2008, 12:35 AM

Am an avid Swans Supporter...correction...Barry Hall supporter. He is passionate about the game and it is good to see some old fashion biffo in the game! He is a great player and he tried to walk over at quarter time to apologise but was pounced on...sorry...one eyed Barry supporter here. He was right...everyone else was WRONG!!!

Oh enough already with this Rubbish

:

My Wife & I are not Football or AFL Supporters because of this sort of Thuggish & Juvenile Behavior that this so called God of yours exhibited

:

For people like you to keep going on about how good he is etc is just plain annoying.

Yeah if he was Bawling as you put it is only because he had run into a fence & injured himself & or knew he would be out for awhile because of his actions.

He even did that thing with his hands, like what I did nothing to anybody

:

Lucky we are not all like this Guy or we would be beating each other up all the time.

And what a great Example to Children NOT!

There is no place in sport today for this sort of thing FULLSTOP!

Reign · 13-04-2008, 12:39 AM

It should be more than 6 weeks, what a shame he didn't hit that fence harder

and instead of braking his wrist he should have had it slit!!!!!!!

My bad, just got caught up in the blood letting that all these people are putting across saying what he did to Staker was good for the game...

Hall is a brute and is a better fit in a zoo with an enclosure around him to keep the other apes safe from him.

totally agree, Halls is a thug thru and thru just like Lockett and Brown.

If you do not agree I could not care less.

Go back to your netball then. Nobody wants to admit they like it but that was a great punch and will only serve to improve Barry's "big, bad" persona. The next time someone comes running at him, they will think twice.

Of course, I'm not saying that he shouldn't be penalised, the powers that be don't want it in the game. His penalty should be the next 'x' games he is capable of playing. i.e. 1 broken wrist = six weeks then any suspension should commence from the time he is fit to play again otherwise it is just a concurrent penalty that is no penalty for what he did.

Still, a great punch to not be on the end of ....

I'm confused..are you condoning or condemning what he did? When you sort that out then you can attempt to bag me.

thexyking · 13-04-2008, 04:10 PM

I'm just saying we love to see it but we know it is not right to condone it. Sacre was on the end of a terrible punch he did not expect and for that, Hall will be punished in a way that is nearly meaningless, due to the fact he is going to miss matches due to injury.

Can you keep up with that?

I'll go and polish the car now....

100% agree! its been over 2 years sinse he was last at the tribunal (week before 2005 grand final) and maybe he felt some guys didnt think he still had it in him? this will serve as a warning to anyone who wants to have a go at him in the future!

**Mont5.0** · 13-04-2008, 12:51 AM

hows that a knock out?

Geez Louise · 13-04-2008, 12:56 AM

OH hush now honey child....He is not a brute...He IS SPARTACAS!!!

RG · 13-04-2008, 12:59 AM

Seem to be a few precious people in here, maybe they should go back to watching Soccer and other non contact sports that they can watch comfortably in their cardigans drinking their warm milk.

lol i totally agree

its funny that nobody has even mentioned what staker could has possibly said to make barry do what he did. maybe he was being racist or sledging halls family?? i just find it hard to believe it was all because he didnt get a free kick. hall has been victemised by the umpires time and time again when it came to giving out frees so i just dont think we have 100% f the story, not getting the free could have been the finally straw to make him snap?

I would hate to think how you'd react if the roles were reversed and Hall got dropped like a monkey in a barrel....
