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?

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
