Hall Gets 7 Weeks.

[theduckfan]

Its really no punishment to him, he will mis almost 2 moths with his wrist anyway. Punishment should start when he is fit to play

Good result for Hall and Sydney, after the hysterical reporting by the media, I thought he would get 10 weeks.

If you believe in karma the wrist is the punishment.

 

[crawf_legend]

Thats a bit soft. Wouldve given him at least twelve and his sister about an 8.
He will strike again when he comes back, hes an idiot.

____ing joke, well done AFL, you are Soccer's greatest advertisment

Yer thats true

I believe Staker's punch in the face is karma for the ill-gotten 2006 Premiership*. I look forward to what happens to the other players.

 

[hawks_legends]

Poor decision. I expected more.

 

[Rockford]

The laughable thing about it was Terry Forrest QC's argument that he should get a reduced penalty for pleading guilty. He didn't plead guilty, he was captured on TV decking Staker. Does anyone really think Hall would've come out and said, "Yes, I k.o'd him while he was looking away" had it not been caught on TV?

He would have been fit to play this weekend. Suspension starts immediately.

So the surgery he had on his hand and made him miss the tribunal means nothing.

He would of milked that injury for all its worth.

You should know Sydney fans are last ones that can talk about 'ill-gotten premierships'!

Whilst you just can't talk about Premierships at all. Just the 1 is it? Was colour TV available then?

I hear he wanted to go the "He ran into my fist" argument.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Soft by the AFL. I half expected them to give him 4 though, since he plays for Sydney.

 

[TerryWallet]

7 is about right.

it was a cowardly king hit by Hall but in the end Staker was uninjured except for concussion. Hall knew what he was doing. He bopped him right on the jaw, just where he intended. All this talk about coulda killed him is ridiculous.
There was more chance of Nick Maxwell hitting Murphy in the temple than Hall.

If Staker had have got a busted up face then Hall might have got 10.

7 is a lengthy sentence. The wrist injury is irrelevant to the case.

Once again...it was a cowardly kinghit but 7 is about the right penalty.

That's right, one earned premiership. I'm not surprised you didn't protest about yours being tainted, it's so obvious that even the swan's own supporters have to admit it.

I would've thought that after 72 years without a flag that Swannies supporters would be the amongst the last people giving other teams' supporters shit about their Premiership drought.

Deserved more than seven weeks, compared to many others.
