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.

oops sorry... you're correct dw. i meant to say perpetrator. put it down to a senior brain fart


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.

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.

But did you actually? I can't see anything.

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.

alarmist politics, left of stalin?............are you confusing me with another poster perchance?

 

Didn't watch any Freo games this year aside from our game. What kind of player is Brayshaw? Or will become?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
