Interesting that it was at the low end of the penalty spectrum requested by the AFL.

Cynicism prevents me from delving further

They didnt want Melbourne punished for something we had no hand in?

    Titus is good. 

    @Big Demon is bad.

    2 weeks? Roundhouse off the ball that was hard enough to cause ‘unviable’ teeth... Go watch UFC.

    Would someone be so kind as to provide me with any evidence or sources that he will play for us next year? The comments seemed to have been started awhile back and are now being parroted as fact like it's a done deal by almost everyone. Including me at times.

    I reckon Gaff and/or Methcoast should bear financial responsibility for the many years of dental work to follow - could easily be more than $100,000 for implants and the like.

    It'll be covered by Freo as it's a workplace injury.

    Whether Freo goes after the Eagles could be interesting.. there would of course be insurers involved and it may well be the same insurer but even then due to reinsurers etc you might still see a case.

    At 100k though my guess is that it wouldn't really be worth pursuing.

    Going after Gaff would be highly unusual in a workplace environment.

    Have a think guys and gals.... even if he hugs the Brayshaw family I think he will upon further reflection go to a non Brayshaw club just to save everyone the uncomfortable nature of being team mates.

    The old clean slate theory. North may get their star after all.

    Maybe you should have a think....

    He will not go or stay at a club based upon a where the Brayshaws play. These guys are professionals. They'll have a coffee or a beer together and work past it. Nate Jones said as much today.

    Gaff may go to Norf, but it won't be based upon avoiding the Brayshaw brothers.

    No idea how Titeass is pal but WTF are you on saying Big Demon is a bad guy? Just a reminder this is a contact sport and if a genuinely tough guy like Cunnington can liver punch Bernie and get just a fine Gaff with a mild jab could have almost completely got off. So many fans here turn a blind eye when our own get hit but I don’t.

    You have an interesting take on the dynamics of the modern workplace MS but let's wait and see

    Those are the kind of punches that can kill people. 8 weeks is nothing compared to what Brayshaw is going through.

    Imagine if he clocked him in the temple. Potentially lethal.

    Check out Mickey's link below my last post above. Andrew Brayshaw's dad even wants Gaff to be forgiven. 

    If Gaff comes to MFC, he will work it out amicably with Gus and his brothers.

    No one dies from being hit in the temple. Most one punch victims hit their head on concrete and because they are unconscious they don’t brace for the impact.

    Slobbo on AFL360 reported tonight that a meeting has been planned for this week between Gaff and Angus.

    Did you listen to Gus on the AFL exchange. He was [censored] and rightfully so. I would expect there would be a fair few issues that need to be worked through if mfc was to offer Gaff a contract

    8 weeks. 

    Got off lightly, considering he executed a solid fist to the face of an innocent opponent and then kept running  

    brayshaw will still be in recovery long after that. 

    [censored] Weak as usual AFL, but after Barry Hall was cleared to play in the 2005 GF, i expect nothing from the Tribunal

    Oh yes they do, if the connection is right at the point of the temple. 

    It is THE weak point.

    Totally agree. I don't know why there are people who think Gaff is straight to Melbourne, like what he did means nothing. Gus and his family have to come first.

    My son was coward punched. Hit a hard floor. Knocked unconscious. Chipped teeth, broken nose, face cut/swollen. Thankfully no permanent brain damage.

    The Gaff punch wasn't a coward punch at least. Brayshaw was facing him.

    The comments that Gaff could face gaol time if charged are clueless. First time offenders NEVER get gaol time.

    Nothing solid. Just the usual media linking an uncontracted ex-Victorian interstate player with a few Melbourne based clubs with "room" in the cap. We're one of those clubs. As usual a lot of wishful thinking on here that he is a shoe in to come to us. North, Saints & Blues also a chance.

    • 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?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
