It's sad when the meaning of english words get expanded and twisted to fit whatever the latest liberalist agenda of the day is

gaff is not a victim. he is a protagonist just having to deal with the consequences of his unsocial and stupid actions

next we will call criminals the victims because they have to do a stretch in the big house

When i was at Uni one day, one of the teachers told a story of this guy breaking into a house; well there to meet this would be slime #(&^$ was the pet dog who soon turned him into a chew toy.

The a## hole whilst in prison, sued to the homeowner to get the dog put down because he was injured and suffering.

Now at this point i said WHAT? the teacher gave me this look and a half, he won his case to have the poor animal put down.

So if your dog goes to protect you and your home, he/she should stay eating their bone in the corner, whilst you get  the c&%^

taking out of you.

    They can both be victims. Brayshaw is a victim of the physical impact while Gaff may be a psychological victim from feeling guilty. The fact that Gaff made the violent contact does not stop him from being a victim albeit one that was self-imposed.

    One had to eat through a straw for over a month and still has “dead teeth” which may never recover. The other made a decision and then kept running. 

    Spare me the violins ? please....

    Sorry DC, you need to look up the meaning of protagonist. 

    Gaff is a perpetrator and by extension  most definitely not a victim.

    I reckon we should be into Andrew Brayshaw all year, just like Dockers have done with JH.

    Surely Andrew would feel the pull of family and wanting to play at MFC with Gus.

    Bad luck if we destabilize the Dockers.

    I said he was a victim who inflicted it upon himself. I didn't say anyone had to feel sorry for him.

    bad choice of word  (victim) then. "suffering the consequences of his actions" would be more appropriate

    He is not a victim at all. He instigated the action, soley 100% himself

    the Victim has a smashed jaw and dead teeth ? 

    i must be old school, but i don’t feel sorry for Gaff at all. I saw the incident live and could not believe it. Assault is what i call it.

    absolutely, even moreso if they have a poor year and don't look like improving.

    Well if you saw it you would know that Gaff tried to hit him in the chest. Not excusing it, but it is probably helpful to state facts. You have like myself probably seen the incident replayed many times and would have seen Brayshaw lower slightly, meaning at the time the punch connected, his head was at the position his chest was just before. Look at Gaff’s arm and fist at contact  

    Given that and Gaffs history and comments after, it is open to believe that Gaff never intended to hit him in the mouth.

    I don’t think he intended what happened, but it is what it is.

    He deserved hi penalty.

    No, Gaff was not aiming for the chest. 

    I don’t buy that. 

    That is your opinion Red, but not mine

    He lined him up, connected and then kept running....

    I saw a low uppercut, so i have never thought the chest was the intended target. 

    It just sounds less evil

    Sorry for the delay I just worked out how to do it.

    Anyway both players are about the same height and you can see Brayshaw lower his height as the punch came. It clearly altered the target.

    Look where Gaff's fist would have struck if Brayshaw was standing up.

    If that is an uppercut it has come from a long way down.

    To me he wanted to hit him in the chest or even lower towards the gut.

    Is that what we should pop your alarmist politics down to as well? Old age?

    Left of Stalin. What rubbish.

    The Age lost its way a while ago, but mostly because of who sat on its board and made the decisions.

    As for the topic, Gaff hit Brayshaw and should cop the penalty.

    If we're talking politically left, I'd say the sentiments around the Gaff hit were that violent actions on the field should perhaps be dealt with in a similar manner to violent acts off the field. I can see the thinking, but I'm not for it as it's a contact [censored] sport.

    Considering old man Brayshaw confirmed it himself, you should probably look to climb down off that high horse.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
