The one thing I don't like about the AFL (apart from flooding), Hall decks an opponent (decent punch, it has to be said), he's out for the game, and Sydney are advantaged for it. Sure they'll miss him for 7/8 weeks, but they still had him for the entire game last night, unlike West Coast who didn't have Staker.
Franklin is a freak, so good atm it's scary how good he'll be in 2 years time imo. Loved seeing the 'pies lose as well, ****s.

Well he's entitled to a fair hearing, just like in cricket with Harbi, Gibbs etc who were allowed to play on, different matches admittedly, until after their appeal was heard.

Agreed, deadset useless organisation.
Whoever agreed to trade for Tarrant should be sacked

That's a completely different situation though. West Coast were at a direct disadvantage (they were down 1 player for the majority of the match) because of a Sydney foul. Australia, or Pakistan (I think it was Pakistan Gibbs was playing?) were not a man down because of what Gibbs or Harbi apparently said. West Coast should've been able to bring another player on IMO.

I'll eat my words.
Spewing about Carlton, too. Damn that! Was gonna pick 'em from the get-go.

Inclined to agree, if he was playing football (soccer) or union over here it'd have been a straight red-card & a long ban (with the chance to appeal, obv), provided the officials had seen it. I don't know enough about AFL to even know if players can be dismissed from the field of play, but it seems a bit unfair that teams other than that which the foul was committed against will benefit most from his absence.

That's a different thing then, but I wouldn't support offending players not being able to play out a game or anything along those lines.
Burgey

Best punch thrown by an Australian since Harding/ Andries 1.Bloke's taken a dive, clearly.
Bingo punch to be fair tho, flush on the jaw.

I'm fairly certain that a player can't be sent from the field in AFL.

Why not though, if it was a blatantly obvious as the punch Hall threw?

Fair enough. Slightly odd for a contact sport tho. IMHO, obv.

Because he's entitled to a fair tribunal hearing. Pretty basic AFL stuff - all the players have a right to a fair hearing once reported.
