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.

    Your very short sighted Mickey.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
