Vision has emerged of former AFL star Barry Hall striking opposition players during the QAFL grand final last weekend.

Hall was playing for Labrador against Palm Beach-Currumbin when he lashed out at a member of the other team after losing the ball in a tackle.

Footage shows the former premiership captain take a swing at an opponent's face which resulted in the player falling to the ground.

When other Palm Beach-Currumbin players ran over to check on their teammate, Hall was confronted by another player and punched him too.

Melbourne radio station SEN reported the former star received a one game ban for both clashes but it’s also been said that Hall will retire from competitive football.

The full-forward expressed remorse earlier this year in an interview with Brent Staker, the West Coast player he punched during a game in 2008.

He was suspended for seven games as a result and admitted he was prone to such outbursts during this career.

''It was a confronting thing. You (Staker) shouldn’t have to deal with it a football player,’’ Hall said in June.

''I was going to say it was a one-off incident but it wasn’t. it is something that continually happened through my career.

''If I could take it back I certainly would. I apologised on the phone to (Staker) but if I could take it back I certainly would, a thousand times over.’’
