You were making some sense until the last paragraph. Last time I checked, tackling was an instrument of the game and punching was not.

Could be something in that he was lifted off the ground, or was he in the air beforehand?

    I just watched that close up footage again in slow mo.

    He's proper f**ked.

    He sure is. 

    He didn’t aim for his Gut area

    He connected

    See who cares. You waste all this energy talking about an on field incident that should be red carded and dealt with immediately. The game is more important than this garbage that people spew about Gaff and his king hit. The weak tribunal encourages this kind of behaviour. Just get rid of it.

    The way some of you are carrying on indicates you’ve never played a game of footy in your life. If you think Gaff aimed for Brayshaws head with that punch then you’re mistaken. I’m not condoning the action at all but I can understand how these things can happen in an instant. Gaff was clearly mortified by what he did and again I’m not condoning it - he deserves to go for weeks but I strongly believe the blow was not an intentional one directed to Brayshaws head.

    Gaff isn’t a thug in my opinion but today he committed a very poorly timed hit that resulted in a terrible outcome of injuries for young Brayshaw.

    I still want him at the MFC next year because he’s a great player of very good character.

    What happened today was a combination of a brain fade and unfortunate timings.

    He's looking straight at him before he does it.

    Spare me.

    No, 1 week. Next time they play it will be sorted. That is the rugby code and is the difference between soccer and rugby. AFL needs to move away from this soft Tribunal malarckey.

    Gut punches and open palm hits should be stamped out, hand out 1 week suspensions for the most mild impact and the hitting motion will cease. FWIW i dont think Gaff, Bugg or Houli meant to hit their opponents in the face but that the line blurs between body hits and head hits. Get rid of the action.

    Pretty hard to be red carded when the umps didn't see it.

    The umps can be notified by the video umpire and the card issued as soon as it is alerted to the field umpire's earpiece.

    I must admit my first thought was that it was a body shot gone totally wrong.

    There is no rationale to these tribunal decisions. They are totally inconsistent. There needs to be one set penalty and if it is policed it will stamp out poor behaviour on field.

    He was facing him. Impossible to see where his eyes were looking, to be honest.

    Well after looking at many posts on this I have two things to say

    1 Those who would look at trading or retiring Nathan Jones to GCS Should hang there heads in shame, Similar to Norm Smith and Junior Mc Donald these legends deserve Respect and our most humble gratitude for their Roles within MFC. Norm Smith was absolutely thrown under a Rocket, treatment  of Junior less , but not by much!, pray it doesn't happen to chunk! Captain Courageous and Heart and Soul of MFC!

    2 Gaff.. regardless of whether he is MFC bound, he has made a HUGE error and needs to go for 6-10. No ifs or butts! If Bugg can go for 6 then so to Gaff! Could have caused him extremely serious injury worse than what he suffered. There can be no excuse for thuggery on or of the field!

    These comments are predicated on the assumption it's ok to smash people anywhere.

    Why the need for a massive wind up punch to the guts? Or the arm? Or the c0ck? It's just irrelevant.

    Disgusting.

    Should not play again this season, regardless of finals results.  

    I can’t bear the ‘good bloke’ or ‘not a thug’ excuses.  This act cancels out any of that instantly.

    Will we hear the cry again from the powers that be, on Pay TV and FTA, about how this type of incident (Bugg's hit) will, and must be stamped out? Well low and behold, up it rears its ugly head again, oracles. So much for what your bloody ideas bring to the table. Just pathetic!!! This time, Media and AFL you are properly stuffed..............fix it or feck off......

    That amount of force could have done serious damage even to the chest. Only two weeks ago some wanted Hawkins done for pushing down on Fritta’s sternum. I don’t care where Gaff was aiming nor does Brayshaw right now.

    Did either of us say that?

    In no way am I letting the guy off I’m simply commenting on the method of the strike. I am not defending him, nor do I think he’ll get less than 7 weeks.

    Gaff will get 8 weeks if the AFL is fair dinkum...! That’s considering Gaffs good record. 10 weeks should be considered.

    Serious and traumatic facial injury to Brayshaw and his season is dusted! 

    Bugg gets 6 weeks and Mills plays the week after.

    You really want Jones to move to the Gold Coast don’t you. It’s an odd obsession. 

    Maybe he owns a sunscreen manufacturer?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
