    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

    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.

    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’.

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

    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'.

    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. 

  • Quote

    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.

    Gaff deserves eight weeks.

    Much worse than the Bugg hit.

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
