I can't believe Wayne Carey kicked 56 goals for Adelaide. I wouldn't have thought he got 56 kicks for them.

Sacked on air tonight at Triple M for saying something about Montagna's pregnant wife.

Was pretty bad but in saying that why didn't all the others get sacked they all went along with it and laughed about it .. Triple m is really a bigoted men's club, very hypocritical.

The Triple M team have form for laughing along with below the line humour. You're right, not one had the balls to stand up and say "that's out of line".

To think the only one who stayed clear last time this happened was Damian Barrett.

Pretty gross stuff from the former Sydney star.

Again why do people listen to MMM? Why is perfectly normal medical procedure performed by obstetrician being laughed and joked about in this day and age anyway? Why did the topic even start on a football program? Barry Hall's gone too far and will get his right whack but the others in the box laughing along, producers, writers and anyone else involved in it should be dealt with as well.

very ordinary. Thought Barry was better than that. As for mmm, footy show etc.. not surprising. Hopefully the next generation of us males will evolve so this sort of thing just doesn't occur.

Like you, I am really disappointed in Barry. I really can't understand what goes on in these blokes heads. Why is the pregnancy of an ex-players wife a topic for comment unless it's seen as an opportunity to get a cheap laugh with an off-colour remark? Maybe that's the point I don't get

Staggering that there is not more control by the broadcaster to let this get to air in prime time.

If it was a talkback caller they’d press the dump button, enacting their ~8 second delay.

What Barry said is appalling but how Montagna has escaped criticism and similar punishment given that he took the conversation to the place that it went, seemingly encouraging it and laughing it on about his own wife his simply astonishing.

This. Montagna details an intimate medical procedure his own wife underwent, the others all laugh (save for a bit of faux 'outrage') .. And Barry alone gets sacked? If they were serious the whole panel should be gone.

Montagna would have copped his when he got home. You can bet that his wife got several texts about what was said and who said it. He would have slept on the couch last night.

Very very poor Barry but others also just as responsible. I hope Barry and the others are regretful now.
