Gotta wonder at what point acts like this, in the modern age, verge into the realm of assault territory? Brayshaw would be fully in his rights to press charges here. Off the ball, unprovoked, unable to defend himself, broken jaw and missing teeth. The fact it happened on a footy field shouldn't provide immunity for the perpetrator of the act. Commit the same act on the street and you're hauled before a magistrate with criminal charges.

Seems the AFL is a low unto themselves.

    NJones is perfect for the role as the reasons stated.  His Discipline crucial.     Dew is there now as coach.  Swans disciplines.

    Zac Jones would be there in support of his brother,, helping nJ change the culture at ground level.   While Dewy does his thing from above the List.

    From a neutral point of view I say what you’re saying clearly.

    From our point of view, come on man!! The guy has spent nearly his whole career in rebuilds. He deserves to be part of something different at this stage of his career than to up sticks and be part of another one. 

    I know footy clubs should be looking through the windshield rather than in the rear view mirror but I just don’t think we’re st that point yet with Jones. Not to mention I’m pretty selfish and want him to be a 1 club player.

    Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    Bugg was publicly hung drawn and quartered before he got to the tribunal. The club offered virtually no defence and many on this forum understandably were extremely critical of the act.

    Now we have a star player ( a possible Demon next year).

    How will West Coast, the media and this forum react?

    Double standards is my bet.

    I've been watching a lot of Frontline recently on YouTube. Certainly highlights the outright hypocrisy prevalent in the media; you hit the nail on the head. WA papers will rally behind him in solidarity, because he's a star player.

    No different to the way the "stars" like Selwood, Dangerfield and Franklin always get generous treatment from umpires and tribunals.

    Australia isn't America. Victims don't get to choose whether to 'press charges'. Police do.

    It’s an excellent point. The ultimate test of club integrity.

    West Coast had an insurmountable lead after half-time.

    If I was in Gaff's position, I would've sat out the rest of the match and gone straight to Hamish in the stands to apologise.

    The professionally aggrieved will be out in force.  It's their time to shine.

    Very out of character for Gaff.  He'll probably cop 5.

    Love him at the Dees next year.

    Yeah but I'd be seeing Hamish first, considering he's probably at the ground with family!

    I would be looking at trading to the Gold Coast, for May. 

    OMc and Jones.

     

    I love my club;  and also I really want the 2nd Qld team to succeed. GCS

    For them the Key is real tough Love, with the right disciplined leaders.    To set them up the right way_   Enter Nathan Jones...   And Zac Jones, from the Swans.

     

    We have a few possibilities as trade options, from ->   OMc, Tyson, Hunt, AVB, Wagner, Kent, Bugg, JKH, Keilty,

    Worst , most clueless poster ever to contribute to these boards. Would do more damage to our club than the forced retirement of Jnr McDonald.

    Not sure I want him anywhere near MFC Next year after seeing this. Might have been out of character but just as bad as what we have seen time and again on the streets. I reckon Gaff's career might now be heavily compromised by this act!

    Sickening acts of unprovoked violence on a playing field should be treated exactly the same as similar acts on our streets.  Just saw the act and the aftermath on TV. Distressing. Glad I didn't have a young one watching. Charge him.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
