Hall cleared. CBolts cleared.

Milburn 2 games with an early plea, will miss the R20 matchup if he pleads guilty.

Good to see they actually comment on the "dubious" ones as well, even if they are cleared.

Interesting with the Milburn incident, same sort of thing that one of the Cornes booys did to Jack ( I think it was) earlier in the year. About time they cracked down on this sort of thing. When you pin a guys arms, how is he supposed to protect his head when you throw him to the ground.

Media fixated on Hall: Roos

SYDNEY Swans coach Paul Roos said he was "pretty disappointed" that an incident involving Barry Hall and Bulldog Lindsay Gilbee on Sunday has been raised in the media.

"Incidents that happened with Hally probably happen ten times in a game. So it's all getting a little tedious and boring," Roos said on Monday.

Absolutely nothing in it.

If Barry goes for that as Hammo said the game is in trouble

If a Luke Brennan did that to Lindsay Gilbee yesterday would a replay been even shown ??

Talk about trial by media. If incidental contact such as that attracts a suspension then the game is in trouble.

They have the replay on The Age website. It actually doesn't look great. He had a clenched fist and it could be construed as deliberate.

Probably nothing in it, I hope...

Surely the doggies man that elbowed Jack in the head has more to worry about.

And also Brad Johnson for the upper cut on B2 that forced him off the field a couple of times.

Why, is his name Hall?

It was a similar incident to Halls last suspension. Will be interesting to see what comes of it.

I'd be surprised if b2 wasn't one of those.

Didn't seem to move freely at all.

I saw that Bird, McVeigh & Ablett all had ice as well (although not 2 x 5kg bags of it). There were a few others over the other side of the room that I couldn't see.

I've gotta feel sorry for Blind Barry today.

At Manuka, the players rooms are enclosed in glass and the poor buggers had about 100 people getting a good look at them being attended to by the medical staff (and Colless - who didn't look too happy!!).

Poor Blind Barry was down to his reg grundies getting ice taped to his hammies. Dead set it was scary to watch. Two 5kg bags of ice, gaff tape and three blokes trying their best to make it all work.

Quite a few of them had hammy ice treatment after the match.

It did appear that he made unnecessary contact but there looked to be nothing in it and I actually thought it may have been contact with a second Swan (from the grassy knoll...?) who actually knocked Gilbee down.
