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.

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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
