Former St Kilda, Sydney Swans and Western Bulldogs star forward Barry Hall was sacked by Melbourne radio station Triple M, after making an inappropriate comment while on-air with co-commentators Leigh Montagna, Nathan Brown, Mark Howard and Damien Barrett.
The comment was made by Hall during a pre-game broadcast of the Western Bulldogs and Geelong match on Friday night, where former St Kilda star Leigh Montagna was discussing the birth of his first child with wife Erinn. The comment made by Hall is too offensive to quote. Triple M head of content Mike Fitzpatrick released a statement on Friday night, confirming that Hall's employment had been terminated from the radio station. "Tonight on Triple M Football there were unacceptable and inappropriate comments made by a member of the commentary team," Fitzpatrick said on Friday night. "The commentator was removed immediately from the broadcast and an apology was issued on air afterwards. "Immediate action was taken with the termination of employment for one team member." The broadcast on Friday night was Hall's return to commentating on Melbourne radio, who was a fill-in for West Coast and Carlton great Chris Judd.
