AFL Conspiracy
Question
What do you see in the picture above?
(A) Barry Hall a former boxer executing a well timed right duke to the ribs
(B) Mark Macguire attempting to injure Barry Hall by thrusting his ribs into Hall's hand
(C) Nothing at all

If you answered A, well done. You are in the vast majority.

If you answered B, you probably support the Swans. You probably also think that any time a swans player makes a tackle it is automatically "holding the ball", any time a swans player gets tackled it is in the back, and you spend most of the game yelling "Kick it to Goodsey!" interspersed with "Kick it to Barry!".

If you answered C, congratulations! You are qualified to sit on the AFL tribunal!

Actually, I can't believe the AFL tribunal is that bad. They did actually find Hall guilty in the first place. I believe that for the appeal they were instructed to let Barry Hall off to help Sydney Swans win the premiership. After all, they knew like everyone else did that the Swans could not have won without him.

Well the Swans play the Saints again on Saturday night. What will MacGuire say to Barry? It has been revealed this week that the Swans and Hall were "disappointed" that the Saints and Macguire didn't do more to help Hall escape the charges!! What the???!!! This annoys me more than anything? If Barry Hall wants to play dirty why should everyone else have to accommodate him?
