Hall Cleared to Play
Well after a four day mini drama that the Swans could of done without the Swans finally can start to plan for a Grand Final knowing that they will have Barry Hall free and available to play come Saturday. Thanks to the AFL's stupid "Points" system, Hall was given a two match ban on Monday which if acepted would be lowered to 1 match thanks to a 25% discount.
Thankfully the club had the balls to stick by Barry and made sure they got the points awarded on Monday downgraded at the Tribunal last night by agruing that the hit was "in play" and not "behind play" as the Match Review Panel said it was on Monday, thus ensuring that Hall plays the match come Saturday despite pleading guilty.
Anyway with threats and talk of legal action though the court if need be the Swans can now focus on the Grand Final and not have the important planing days of Wednesday and Thursday ruined by the a destrackion like in 1996 with Andrew Dunkley.
