See old mate Barry Hall's swinging his fists again. Despite his remorse since the Staker incident, he shows he is still just a thug, although the press seem to have gone to ground over this. Wonder if they would have done the same if it had been an Eagles or Docker player??

What a bloody idiot. I was starting to respect him as a commentator and I fell for it when he spoke from the heart about his remorse about his hit on Brent Staker and was worried about how his kids would perceive him.

Then goes back out on the footy field to prove its all bullshit and he fooled us all. Like the Little boy who cried wolf I won't be fooled anymore Barry.

Hopefully the thug has his Hall Of Fame status ripped off him!

got let off as it was open handed and apparently the bloke took a dive

Was that the first punch, or the second punch?

Cant believe he's still playing, should bloody give it away otherwise he will end up in the can.

didn't get suspended for either incident

edit: correction ... got 1 week for the second incident. Video link and article here.

I may need new glasses, but it sure looked like a fist - that connected - in the first incident.

2nd whack - not so sure.

I suspect that (similar to the 2005 GF) Hall was given a free pass - because if he had copped 2 weeks, it would have lifted him above the 16 game cumulative suspension policy which would have seen him banned for life.

Not a good look for an AFL HoF member.
