You were right except strangely they're blaming Brayshaw for being ugly.

Ridiculous, especially considering Andrew's the best looking of the bunch!

Holy moly. Not good vision for the match review panel to see. 

Carlton doctor could make it look even worse. 

Jeez hope the kid is ok.

Carlton doctor would request the death penalty! Guillotine still available?

I can’t even fathom the idea but I respect your opinion. You’re entitled to have it, not going to attack you for having a different view. 

because it's a win, all round.

Doesn’t look like he aimed for the chest area to me...

Punched him right in the head. A low blow was never intended

[SaberFang 7,141]

I'm not imagining things by saying Andrew's bottom lip has been ripped in half, right? Just to go along with the broken jaw and 4 caved-in teeth. What a [censored] nightmare.

Poor kid won't be eating solids for weeks. As if the split lip isn't bad enough, if his teeth have dislodged from the nerves they might not be able to re-plant them. That means extraction and four tooth implants; anyone's who had so much as one extraction will know the nightmare he's in for...

And the player he king hit played the next week.

Bugg had a pretty bad track record though. Still, given that Brayshaw's season is over it will probably be 8

A few comments from West Coast CEO Trevor Nisbett...

Disclaimer: comments were made months ago, before the Gaff incident. Just always worth highlighting the blatant hypocrisy of some of these richer clubs.

Out of interest, what was the context of these words? Can you provide a link?

And what track record was that??

Mills was the first time he was suspended

As stated in this thread by others this is fake news. He was a serial pest but that doesn't warrant a worse penalty over a golden boy. 

I'm not saying Bugg didn't deserve the time nor that Gaff is a golden boy.

Imagine the cost of the dental work required to fix his mouth up ?

Can we change the exclamation mark in the thread title out with a question mark?

The severe bruising and swelling around the entire jaw (not just the point of impact) is a pretty good indication of how impactful the punch was. Just awful stuff, kid will be on the top-echelon painkillers for days.

2016 MRP fine for making contact with an injured player as far as MRP is concerned, but he'd been all over TV and the newspapers for weeks for all the wrong reasons leading up to that

 

[WERRIDEE 5,218]

Gaff has played his last game for the Eagles

[rjay 23,927]

That's a pretty decent advertisement for the order off rule...

[Surfer Dee 210]

Considering the injury, gotta be more than Bugg, right? I’d have no issue with 10 weeks. I’m expecting 8.

Yes gaff deserves less weeks than bugg because the media like him more.

Anything else sound familiar in this article?

Quote

An amateur WA footballer has a broken jaw after an alleged behind-the-play strike that prompted West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett to call for thugs to be marched out of the game ... [the player] required surgery to insert a plate in his jaw after the incident during a game

“This is an extreme case where there is alleged to be striking off the ball and a guy gets a broken jaw,” Mr Armstrong said. “No-one wants that. We’ve got a really good competition and we’re not going to get dragged back by a couple of individuals who have a brain snap.”

Seems like a pretty clear zero-tolerance policy from Mr. Nisbett; let's see how true to his word he is. Judging by Simpson's laughable post-match comments tonight, the Eagles are content with being a bunch of blatant hypocrites.

Not at all what I said.

All I said is Bugg had a track record, I never defended what Gaff did or said he deserved less. I actually said he will get 8 if you had bothered to read my first comment.
