BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
Just read an article in the age summarizing On The Couch.
Glad Hall can understand it. I guess it's easy to talk about things from 8 years ago now that we are an insignificant team like the AFL like us to be.

You do realise hall getting suspended didnt help us. i have read on here someone saying it cost us a flag because he wasnt suspended.

The act certainly harmed our chances in the game. They goaled from a Barry Hall mark shortly after.plugger66 wrote:You do realise hall getting suspended didnt help us. i have read on here someone saying it cost us a flag because he wasnt suspended.
His non-suspension prevented the Eagles from winning 2005.

Another glaring example of AFL manipulation. Yet we still have people that believe it doesnt happen.

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
The Tribunal/Match Review Committee fudged the rules to ensure Sydney's marquee player got into
the Grand Final.Still gets me angry today.
Looks like Big Bad's confession was on this week's Open Mike, according to the Fox Sports website -
"Three years prior, Hall was involved in an incident that should have robbed him of his ultimate glory as a player – the 2005 premiership victory over West Coast.
In the preliminary final, Hall slugged St Kilda defender Matt Maguire off the ball but remarkably escaped penalty.
"It wasn’t hard," he said recounting the blow.
"I probably hit him in the sweet spot, but I can certainly hit harder. I was very lucky" (to be cleared to play in the grand final).
"I think it’s a good thing we had a good QC and the Eagles had every right to be spewing."

He was fit enough to play at FF moments later, so I don't think the hit was as hard as we like to think.saintspremiers wrote:How was Goose feeling after he was hit you goose??plugger66 wrote:You do realise hall getting suspended didnt help us. i have read on here someone saying it cost us a flag because he wasnt suspended.

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
Yeah right, Goose was such a squib at the time, would have overreacted and gone to ground behind play. You idiot, Barry Hall was a boxer and gave him a cheap shot in the kidneys from behind, like to see how you would have handled it...SydneySainter wrote:He was fit enough to play at FF moments later, so I don't think the hit was as hard as we like to think.saintspremiers wrote:How was Goose feeling after he was hit you goose??plugger66 wrote:You do realise hall getting suspended didnt help us. i have read on here someone saying it cost us a flag because he wasnt suspended.

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
At the end of the day (night) it made diddly squat to our chances of making the G.F. that year.
We just got totally over ran in the last quarter.

Or more accurately a relatively mild-looking tap to the belly ... could easily have hit him in the right spot, but it was the belly not the kidneys.Harvey To Hayes wrote:and gave him a cheap shot in the kidneys from behind, like to see how you would have handled it...

I probably would have been crying, just saying that Goose certainly had the wind knocked out of him and I'm sure the blow was painful, but he's a tough kid and recovered quickly. Certainly quickly enough to play at FF moments later. Doesn't justify Barry's action, nor him being cleared, but in the context of how the game unfolded, I think the punch was minimal.

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
What lost us that game was a lack of tactical nous, getting smashed, SMASHED in the clearances and a very loose Aussie Jones.
Injuries didn't help either. We had about 1/3 of our best team out.

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
Has nothing to do with us directly as we weren't playing them the following week. We lost that match fair and square..
It has everything to do with us in terms of the AFL's broader agenda and politics. The game in a large sense died with that decision in my eyes.

True, but when you get beaten in a prelim you want the winning team to lose the GF first and foremost.Stephen Theodore wrote:At the end of the day (night) it made diddly squat to our chances of making the G.F. that year.

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
I was sitting right where it happened that night and although I didn't see the actual hit - because the actual play was so far away. Goose did go down for a fair bit and was on his hands and knees from memory, this allowed Hall to be free and take an easy mark and kick what may have been the first goal in the last quarter (I could be wrong about that) and although the Swans kicked about 7 to 1 it was probably that act that kick started them. I don't think Goose recovered quickly from that at all. Whether it would have made any difference we'll never know, but it certainly didn't help.

If you think the shot was to the kidneys, then i'm glad you are not a doctor or butcher

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit
I was actually glad he was cleared to play honestly yes it was a dog hit but i reckon it would have been an ultimate shame had Barry not played in the g/f ... and ill admit i was cheering for the swans that day... honestly though had we come up against WCE in that g/f we would have prob lost that by a fair margin any way
