Strewth that has to be 6 weeks or the AFL is compromised massively.

As bad as Buggs hit last year.  But my guess is tribunal will reduce to 2-3 weeks.

No they won’t

it was a King Hit

[dees189227 12,394]

That was a coward hit by gaff. On a young kid who was standing there minding his own business. Bugg copped it big time but gaff won't.

Yep absolutely 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Listening to the SEN call of the Freo game and one of the commentators was trying to find an incident that’s similar to Gaff’s. He came up with the Bugg hit and stated that he got 6.

I believe it was Gossage that replied “ Yes but he had form”.  What form did Bugg have with the tribunal? One fine for interfering with an injured player prior to his only suspension. Incredible, trying to talk it down Gossage you fool.

What a joke the only form bugg had was being a [censored] stirrer

Funny you’ve mentioned that. My brother just said the same thing and I said the hit on Mills is the only thing he’s been suspended for. He may be niggly and a pest but I wouldn’t count that as ‘form’.

Wtf was gaff thinking?? The game is over, finals coming - hit a kid?!?

need to think seriously before recruiting this bloke.  

I didn’t it was as bad as buggs. I’d give 4-5 weeks

Looked more of a round side fist to me. But im drunk and only seen distant vision so far. 

Im not a big fan of the outcome dictating the penalty

Buggs was graded intentional conduct with high impact to the head.  Hard to see this being different but let’s wait and see

[Sir Why You Little 37,039]

Brayshaw must have said something to him, and Gaff has looked at him and gone Whack!!

Teeth in the Fingernails. 

Could change his career

The AFL will introduce a new factor to downgrade the penalty.  That will be some weasel words which amount to 'he's also has the penalty of not getting the Brownlow'.  

[dees189227 12,394]

Broken jaw and surgery for brayshaw. Poor kid. Gaff has to get more than bugg 

Could be awkward at west coast with Andrews brother Hamish at west coast and he's just seen a teammate break his brothers jaw. 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Gaff deserves eight weeks.

Much worse than the Bugg hit.

[Nasher 33,616]

5 thrillers, 3 smackings and... whatever happened in the St. Kilda and Bulldogs game.  I'm not joking when I say I have absolutely no idea in what the result of that game was (nor do I have any interest). 

What a round of footy.

[dees189227 12,394]

Wow what an ending to see r20 off. Friday saturday was all about how good the game is, we don't need rule changes how good were the close games and today was all about the thrashings and gaff breaking a players jaw. Gaff may have stolen the thunder from saints, suns and blues who were terrible. 

I think more needs to be made from that saints loss. That was a poor effort from them.

[censored] incredible. Bugg clocks someone in the jaw and he's public enemy No.1. Gaff does it and he's the nicest guy you'd ever meet.

Yeas of course. Gaff doesn't do pesky Instagram posts nor is he a 'pest' on the playing field. Its sickening.

Bugg was treated very poorly. Particularly compared to Houli the week before.

Yes, i should have said that

Correct

Slightly off topic, awesome mark by Walters today.

Much worse than Bugg. Six weeks for Bugg always seemed harsh. This has to be more ... 8weeks. In suburban footy it would be a season or worse

It’s similar to Barry Hall, he got 7. Game and players should’ve evolved since then and AFL are “apparently” taking head knocks seriously since that incident. Brayshaw has 4 caved in teeth and a broken jaw and will miss the rest of the season. Should be 8 weeks IMO.

[titan_uranus 25,020]

Dog act from Gaff. Just as with Bugg, deserves to be taken to the cleaners for this. Pathetic and disgusting.

Hope Brayshaw is OK. Sounds at this stage like a broken jaw and broken teeth. 

Another perfect example of why a red card/send off system is a good idea.

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

On big footy there are over 6 pages from the WC forum on this. Most think he will get 3 to 4 weeks whilst a minority thinks he will get 5 or more. The majority are dreaming that he might be back for late finals.  I believe 6 will be the minimum as what Bugg got but the injury damage is far worse so could be 8.
