What happened? Any link?
I've tried the news websites and have managed to find nothing.
I've always hated the guy. Should never have been playing in that grand final.

That kind of stuff has been happening on every Aussie rules footy oval since the game was invented. Back in the days I remember when they used to film the brawls instead of the game which was highly entertaining and more like comedy. If they wanted to get rid of that kind of stuff don't you think they'd just send the player off straight away and give him a huge fine with a long suspension or kick him out the game completely.

I thought punching was part n parcel of all contact sports from Rugby to Footy to Ice Hockey etc etc

At least it was in the games i played....

When men maul they let rip from time to time. That sometimes means a blatent smack in the head. We all need it we all learn from it.
Hence HTFU

Did you see the punch?

I have watched a lot sport and fights, but sorry, I have never ever seen anything as low, malicious, and cheap as what that low life criminal did yesterday. He should be banned from playing footie for ever.

Yeah it was a cracker
Took him out with one nice blow.
A boxer would have been proud.

You dont know the full story, you dont know what was said, you dont know if it had been building up all game and eventually he lost it.

In a physical sport like footy expect a punch. It happens the player gets a fine/smacked three match suspension we all move on. It aint a big deal.

Did you ever see vinny jones?
Now that was violence.

Am an Eagles and AFL supporter, used to be right into it, but cant be bothered with either much anymore with the drama lama crap from the media who take sides at a whim. Me ol mate went down like a pole axed steer, reckon he will live to fight another day. Not condoning what he did, but its been in the game since its origin.
Bet if it was one of the "chosen ones" like Judd, Harvey, or what ever, the media would be busting Stakers profile something chronic. and moving their halo's in to prominent positions claiming its all Stakers fault.
Next load of wallop they will scream on about is "he (big bad Baz) has to make a statement, he just has too, why wont he, he must, he must".
So next game on, who's chipped a finger nail?[}:)] and who dun it

My dear stamp. Every Sunday morning while practicing softball I watch the kiddies and their footie.....yea I see the fisty cuffs and all, but sorry, what a grown up professional, getting paid millions did, will not change my mind about what I saw. What is required is severe punishment for someone who is a chronic offender of the rules of "fair" play.........no friggen manners at all.

I've written my email to the AFL, and I am over it.

Have a nice Sunday and I'm looking forward to the next WA footie game to start soon. I really don't care that much who wins ( I do want the Dockers though), but I just love the game. Been here close to 9 years and am finally learning more about the rules and find the game very exciting, but yea dangerous.........wouldn't have the guts or wind to play this one. These footie players are tremendous athletes with guts too.

reli and wineman

buys i've played footy too and received and given a few as well, but there aint no excuse for that c+&^% from a pro athlete getting paid heaps in front on a national audience. if the guy can't handle an opposition team player doing what he is supposed to do then it's Baz that needs to HTFU.
i had to explain to my young kids why they saw that on the news - the real sad thing is, stuff like that gets shown on TV every day, but they shouldn't get used to seeing being dished out by a pro athlete (supposedly)
baz obviously has an anger management problem and should either HTFU or get professional help

A good brawl now and then is pretty cool to watch, and the world in general needs a barrel of HTFU.

But, a cheap shot like that, a punch when they're not looking or ready, thats low. At least give them some warning and be decent about it.

And then pretending it didnt happen, that was silly. At least take credit for dropping a bloke.

I agree i think his behaviour was abhorrant and low.

It seems a pre-requisite to play AFL is to have criminal alliances, take hard drugs, commit violent assaults and carry on like a psychopath with complete disregard for responsibilities.

So why the suprise and outrage ?
HTFU LOL

Righto - here we go.

Anybody who thinks an unexpected clean hit from an ex-state level boxer (as Boofhead is) is some way to harden up and make a man o' yaself needs to harden up by putting on a blindfold and standing out in the middle of a freeway.

I somehow doubt they will have to clean up any grey matter at all

Lowest thing I have seen since the Reiwolt shoulder bump. Probably lower in fact. Broken arm or not I think Boofhead Bazza should be lookin at 9 weeks and a non-AFL agravated violence warning (and probation) from the folks in blue.

Yeah interesting that.

Support that thump or not, why is it not common assault like it would be in the stands?

Spot on - but the differance being of course a professional athlete (and ex-boxer) is likely to hit 3x harder than a punter!

It's about time the AFL had a send off rule I reckon. Only to be used in extreme circumstances - such as this pathetic situation - where either very recklessly or deliberatly an opposition player is injured/attacked and has been unable to continue. The guilty player has to stay off for as long as the injured player. This means no advantage for this sort of thugery = no thugery. The bonus of this is at may hand an advantage of sorts, to the opposition team if it is wise to keep them off. All good, and would stop fkwits like Bazzerka in their tracks.

The Eagles would never have won that game the other night but Sydney's Neanderthal ensured his team was just going to have it just so much easier from the 1st quater on.

How is Bazzurka's form standing over Staker, giving him a verbal while Staker is struggling to remember his own name!?! Charge the mongrel with assualt

on a differant tack - tops marks to the AFL for leaving that solid steel railing in - nice work!

Les Boyd of 80's Rugby League Fame was given a year or two suspension for less than this thug has done.

You know when you should give the game away Baz....too slow.....not chasing....can't tolerate 'blowfly-like' defenders....so what do you do?

Punch-em in the head!

.......a thug's way of handling the fact that he's lost it!

As for 'tough-footy', I'd prefer to see Baz run down the opposition....body-to-body combat....good shoulder bumps (elbows down), hard tackles, he'd get a little better response from the public than taking the easy way. In a fight, I'd say it was a perfect blow, great balance, aim, and sensational connection.....but he's supposed to be playing footy, and we want tough footy, not lazy/easy and ambush-like crap!

First up I don't condone what Hall did, but that guy was all over him and grabbed Hall at the back of the neck. Hall gave him 3, warning shoves including a swipe that almost connected. Barry is a big man. Barry could have made it as a boxer. You don't do that to Barry. He learnt the hard way. The way it works in rugby if you cheat, if you grab hold of someone in that manner you can expect to get a touch up, which means you don't do it. Simple. This doesn't mean I think what BH did was right, I'm simply saying if you don't want to play by the rules and you don't want to play fair then you have to expect something in return. If I did that in a game of rugby, I would get a good clip. And you know what, next time I wouldn't do it. It's pretty simple.
