    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.

    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.

    • 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.
