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.

Bear in mind you are applying "common sense", "fairness", "consistency" and "precedent", concepts that have no place in the modern match review process.

 

It just cannot be less than the 6 weeks Bugg got. There is no aspect of it that is "better" than what Bugg did. So that's the starting point.

Nothing would make me happier than meeting those pricks from Geelong in finals and knocking them out. Sweet justice. Can’t stand them!

 

Gaff cannot play again this year.

6 games may not be enough,  imagine he came back in for a grand final.

Disgusting hit from a [censored] bloke.

With the Pies and Port faultering and Eagles to lose Gaff (NikNat already gone), the field is opening up for us...

Agreed but internally we should just concentrate on ourselves. All three games are winnable, all three games are very losable. 

Sydney will hopefully be feeling beaten up from the tough pies match. God I wish we had Viney playing.

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.

One of those being a 'thumping win'.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
