I'll never get over the fact he got off that report to play in the GF?
Absolutely ridiculous and could only happen with Sydney ( AFL love child at the time.)
Absolute COWARDLY sniper. He tried boxing when he retired but gave that away pretty quick smart when he found out that the opponent was allowed to hit him back !
Good player but you have to question whether he deserves the honour.
Can someone list similar players who aren't in the Hall of Fame?
Did I miss the moment when Fraser Gehrig was honoured?

I reckon their might be a good case for a G-Train nomination if Hall can get the nod. The only accolade Fraser missed out on that Barry got was a premiership medallion.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!

Trevor Barker is not in the AFL Hall of Fame.
Barry Hall can GAGF, he's a stain on our club.
He seems like a terrible human being, too. After hearing what he said about us in that Mike Sheahan case study on our premiership drought. What piece of excrement!

1) Barry Hall did kick a hell of a lot of goals. But he kicked less than Sav Rocca.
2) Does anyone really care about the AFL Hall of Fame? Seems like a crock of nothing.

Voila! Now they can talk about how expert their hall of fame commentators are. As Con said, it's a crock of nothing, a breeder of sycophancy. The discussion here need not be about whether Barry Hall is worthy but about whether the Hall of Fame is worthy. Hagiography is never in the name of truth

Is he still on fox footy. I'm not sure I've spotted him this year
What Barry had to say to afl.com.au
We knew it. Barry knew it. Tribunal fell for it.
Hall also admitted he should have been suspended for the 2005 grand final that saw the Swans defeat the Eagles.
Hall was cited for striking St Kilda's Matt Maguire in the preliminary final, but successfully argued the incident took place "in play" rather than "behind play".
"There was a bit of a clause and we had a good QC," Hall said.
"The number one ticketholder at that stage got us a private jet.
"We had a limo at Essendon airport, got off the charge at the tribunal, got back on the private jet, went back home, it was quite enjoyable.
"It was a tense week.
"There was a little glitch in the rules and we knew that.
