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.

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
