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

    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’.

    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

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
