Barry Hall and Brent Staker have been interviewed together for the first time since Hall struck Staker way back in 2008.
During the first quarter of their clash in round four, 2008, Hall and Staker were jostling for position before the Sydney forward lost his cool, and punched Staker in the jaw.
Hall was suspended for seven weeks following the incident, but admitted to journalist Damian Barrett the outcome of the punch could have possibly been a lot worse.
"Yeah, absolutely (it) could have been worse," Hall said to Barrett when asked if he feared that he could have actually killed the West Coast defender.
"There's the one punch thing getting around now in society, and it happens every weekend and it has to stop 'cause it's dangerous."
The pair sat down for an interview with Channel Nine's The Footy Showย that will air on Thursday night, and Hall said he was uncomfortable to sit next to Staker and re-watch the vision.
"It was a low act and something that he shouldn't have to live through now, and I spoke about that Hall of Fame night that that bothers me a bit," Hall said.
"I don't like it, it's uncomfortable for me to sit here next to him and watch it."
Staker told Barrett it was "a bit of a shock" to be sat with Hall and seeing the incident again, and did admit he's been reminded of it ever since.
"For the first couple of seconds sitting down here it's a bit of a shock, but we're just two men going about our business now," Staker said.
"I don't actively look to show anybody, clearly.ย It just somehow finds you every now and then.
"I've come to terms with it, I know that it's going to be one incident that they remember me for."
