Todays sleeper hold from Barry Hall that he just would not let go of instantly reminded me of pluggers big hold on Brad Fox of Essendon. I rekon it was at Waverley in the early 90's if I remember.
Can anyone else remember it. I can remember it more on urban legend than what actually happened.
I have heard big Stewie has stated that he thouht he was going to kill him and he tried to intervene.

Let's just hope Bazza gets a few weeks.
I'll try and get some inside info re Scott Thompson during the week from a very good source also!!!

Regardless of who it was and the prior angst it had caused him...surely a headlock doesn't deserve anything?
Barry is being treated as some sort of demi-god through this as if we have to feel sorry for him that he has anger problems and a big bad North defender stirred him up and shouldn't have.

You're not going to suggest the AFL or the MRP change the rules to suit different scenarios?
That is crap. It was a wrestle and someone was put in a headlock. So from now on we dont fine players fro wrestling, we suspend them.

The rules don't change however...bugger me if he gets done for that the rules are a changin' and non-contact will be the next rule applied.rodgerfox wrote:Why would the rules suddenly change?plugger66 wrote:Suspended for a headlock. I hope not. Dont care who it is.

What if I was wrestling a guy and put an arm bar on him? Or a knee bar? It would take me 2 seconds to do it, and put him out for the season.
But cause it was during a wrestle, it's Ok?

That's the rule.
That's what Hall did.
He most definitely should get weeks.
According to the ridiculous AFL rules.
So every wrestle now gets weeks not a fine. I repeat it was a headlock and a wrestle and as you said surely AFL and MVP arent going to change rules on the run. He will get a fine as all wrestling gets.rodgerfox wrote:I repeat...plugger66 wrote:That is crap. It was a wrestle and someone was put in a headlock.

As for scenario that actually didnt happen imagine if he killed him or killed all 3 players. Makes as much sense and you mentioning something that didnt happen. Now on your way and think of some more negitive things about the Saints that has happened since 2007.

So according to the ludicrous AFL system, he has to go. It's really, really simple.
If he doesn't go, then the AFL are changing the rules.plugger66 wrote: I repeat it was a headlock and a wrestle and as you said surely AFL and MVP arent going to change rules on the run. He will get a fine as all wrestling gets.

Wrestling is fine.plugger66 wrote:It was a wrestle and under the rules of wrestling he will get a fine. Now go away and learn the rules unless of course you want the AFL and MVP to change the wrestling rule. Good bye and go back in your little hole.
This was ....
Intentional, forceful, head high contact off the ball.
What happens if you strike someone in the head whilst in a wrestle?
You would go. Why? Because it's intentional, forceful, head high contact off the ball.
A wrestle is a scrap where no other rules are broken. In this instance, it's absolutely clear that the AFL's most precious rule was broken.
Remember when J. Brown got weeks for putting Blake in a headlock?
So what happens if a FB and FF are pushing and shoving before a bounce and one of them pushes someone in the head. The umpire pays a free for head high contact but under your ridiculous scenario is would be head high contact, behind play and intentional and probably low impact. That is how stupid your argument is.rodgerfox wrote:Wrestling is fine.plugger66 wrote:It was a wrestle and under the rules of wrestling he will get a fine.

"Already facing a rough play charge for a head-lock on St Kilda ruckman Jason Blake, Brown picked up an extra wrestling count for an incident involving the Saints' Brett Voss after the AFL's video review late on Monday. Voss also faces a charge over the incident."
This was even back in 2004 befpre the AFL were wetting themselves over head-high contact.
Under the new rules, Hall is in far more trouble than Brown was back then.

Steven Baker got weeks for attempted jumper punch during a wrestle for god's sake.
