If Hall is the boxer people say he is then his left and right probably aren't as far apart as you are making it out to be

The left hits harder (if his right handed) because the left would have less control. FACT!

A king hit is where an un-suspecting victim is hit from behind. This didn't happen in this case.

Hall over re-acted to the niggling and belted him - that's not a king hit.

I am not saying he should have done it either - stupid act on Bazz's behalf.

King hit is any unprovoked or unsuspecting attack - which is exactly what this was.

Doesn't have to hit him from behind to be a king hit

Righto, give him 11 weeks for 110%.

I'll let you into a secret - it's all getting a bit technical with boxing experts weighing in, but I just want his case delayed until after his hand heals so that the [censored] serves time when it matters - not when it's concurrent with an injury.

6 to 8 would be my guess.....

I was not too far away from that at the game last night, and it was awful to watch, and the crowd actually booed him.

Which for a Sydney crowd to boo Barry Hall, I thought I saw pigs flying backwards!!!

At least the ground got its own back when he clonked and opened up his head on the polls around the edge.

After watching it about 20 times on YouTube, I reckon he is looking at minimum 8 weeks!

The AFL does not want these sorts of images being seen anymore!

Young kids you want to grow up and play footy don't want to see this (altho they will cop it in the suburban based comps), but it is more the parents of the young lads who, after seeing stupid [censored] like that, stop their sons from playing footy!

The AFL will slam Hall for this!

They are already worried that soccer is taking off..... This will be a massive suspension!

In fact I have even convinced myself it will be 10+ weeks now!

He doesn't get the name "Big Bad Barry" for nothing! :wacko:

Totally agree with everything you've written here. I tried to compose something like this last night but was too shocked by what I'd seen to be able to think straight. I reckon the AFL will rightfully make an example out of this.

And to Moose who thinks the "biff" should be brought back to footy, why don't you go and watch some Saturday Amateur crap where that [censored]'s the norm. Leave the AFL to the best and FAIREST players in the land.

I'm with you. Although one cost Miller 2 or 3 from memory in 2006. He was in form too and never really recovered after coming back through the two's.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but Miller's been booked again for 'alleged rough conduct' against Daniel Pratt.

I reckon he might actually get done for a week with his record, which is annoying cos I think he's playing alright at the moment.

Thoughts? On the bump, not on Miller's form. :)

A regular stupid act of misguided aggression that he has done before and it will cost him about 2 weeks.

Makes you wonder about those posters who say Miller should be more aggressive. Pity he cant distinguish the player from the ball

Hall will be out for 6 weeks with a broken wrist so really he should get 16 weeks or he will get away it. The more appropriate sentence would be for the AFL to force the Swans to delist him and have us pick him up in the PSD that will teach him to be stupid.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
