Deck the Halls

[Jafo]

Looks like Finals Fever has got the better of Big Bad Bazza yet again.

With recent events and with someone that should know better than most, should B.Hall be banned from all levels of Aussie Rules for life?

Would love to see big bad bustling Baz's face get lit up by any amateur heavyweight boxer in Australia.

It's too bad he was too chicken shit to put on the gloves against an opponent that was actually facing him.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

He wasn't lying before the match when he said he might go out Lynch-style.

Still has the hair trigger - the first one was almost a carbon copy of Staker.

Seems a likeable guy when he's not being a total thug.

Should be banned from anything to do with footy, on and off field. AFL need to make a stance here, we can’t be supporting out and out thuggery.

Mick Gatto seems like a likeable guy. Ok, Hall is not as bad from the alledged happenings but just saying. Though I'm led to believe Mick is a Pies man not a Blue bagger.

Nice racehorse, as a mare ran in the 1981 Melbourne Cup on memory.

Best win her Rosehill Guineas win I'd suggest.

Clever name as she was by Father Christmas as the sire.

Hall only got a week, open hand and a bit of acting by all. This time not much in it. Though he is still a bit of a thug for doing it.

AFL is full of snipers. It's almost a pre-requisite for any commentator to have thrown a few hailmakers off the ball.

Wow reminded me of the 1980 VRC OAKS i had a quinella Deck the halls and November Rain.
For 1.00 being a big punter.

Was a great day you are right.
I was very keen on November Rain that day.

I've long held good form in the oaks, even as a kid I've done well in the race

And it did rain that day.

Was told he'd be targeted... and obviously was.

How dare a man stick up for himself! It was a nothing punch... free kick... play on.

Watch the whole game before you tarnish 1 bloke vs the other team as Thuggery... from 30 seconds of edited footage. P.s. staged free kick... is he alright? Did he take his kick?

Indeed it did.

There was also the November Hurdle that day.

They used to run hurdles in those days for the carnival.

The Cup Day Hurdle on (as the name suggests) Cup Day.

The November Hurdle on Oaks Day.

I recall the last Hurdle race during the carnival was 2001 I'm quite sure. The next year they replaced the jumps with the Lavazza Long Black a 2800m ratings race.
Funny thing a few years ago the Lavazza group have sponsored a different race on Cup Day but most people still call the 2800m race the Lavazza.
In 2015 they made the 2800m race on Cup Day as a tribute race, The JB Cummings memorial race.
As Bart had died in August that year. (Racing not quite the same without him )

Pretty sure Barry Hall is quite an accomplished boxer?

(Yes, as in Queensberry rules)

 

[Quicky]

It doesn't sit well with me retiring players going out in a blaze because there arent repercussions. It reminds me of Lynch and Wakelin. Lynch the ****ing coward. There should be some pretty strict post footy penalties.

People don't understand, he's nothing more then a cowardly thug.

He doesn't have a whisker the courage of a Nick Riewoldt, or Jonathan Brown (as much as I dislike him as a comments man).

Goes real hard when someone else has their head over the pill, or when they're not expecting contact.

In the week that the AFL reintroduced the "Barry Hall" rule to ensure a player makes the GF, it's pretty ironic that Hall is making headlines.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

Why Barry, Why?

 

[Jafo]

And irony, SEN and other networks still promoting the Beat Barry Hall comp to win GF tickets.

This. I love hard tough courageous footballers, but not the snipers. Why are they celebrated? And why does the AFL boys club close rank around them? Its an aspect of footy that I hate.

Massive boys club down at the network. Jobs for the boys. Bazza will be joining the panel next year. Straight in!
