Sydney swan superstar Barry Hall has been banned for 7 matches by the AFL match review panel .The ban comes after an incident involving Hall and west coast eagle Brent Staker last weekend in which Hall punched Staker in the head.After being banned for 7 matches Hall apologised for his actions which has tarnished the game and said he was ''very remorseful'' about the whole incident.The hearing went for around 70 minutes when jury members Stewart Lowe,David Pittman and Wayne schimmelbusch gave the verdict.Hall who was having a good start to the season will now miss the next 7 games against geelong,nth melbourne,bulldogs,essendon,p ort adel,richmond and west coast.The swans take on last years premiers geelong this round and will have to do it without Hall up forward.This incident will no doubt put strain on the team and coaching staff before they make there way down to melbourne to face geelong at shell staduim this weekend.Im sure that Paul Roos will try and fire up the swans side before they face the hard task of facing geelong who are undefeated so far in 2008 and have all their star players in tact.Hall will have a month to ponder his actions and hopefully comeback ready to play footy and concentrate on what matters most winning football games.
