I was watching the close up vision of the punch. he was getting pushed, then he stopped, steadied, looked at Brayshaw and punched his face. So you contend he was going to punch his chest in this round-house/hook motion? it would have hit his shoulder if so. My point overall, is why do we need to straight away feel sorry for Gaff? in the weeks to come maybe we can see his side of things and have some sympathy but at the moment the sympathy should be with Brayshaw and Gaff should cop his punishment - as he is

I don’t feel sorry or sad for Gaff. At least not yet. He smashed a kid in the face for no reason. It was no accident. Whoops I meant to punch your chest? Screw that He looked right at him and lined him up. Don’t care if it was a brain fade or whatever, this will have a big impact on brayshaw life and on his family.

why TF did that tool lie about them playing golf?!? it was a weird thing to say in the first place!

Cannot wait to strike off: No finals since 2006 for the love of all that's holy, this year, please!

Quick! To Simon Goodwin's house!

That ridiculous McGovern deal could have been done as they’ve found out Gaff is leaving. They don’t want both to leave so they offer overs. I wonder how Kennedy and Sheuy feel about that cash?

Thanks for the update Drunkn He'll be 23 yo at the start of next season so he has youth on his side. From the reports, he seems to do the defensive things well. I am sure he is already, but if I was him I would work on speed, agility, and getting more involved in possession chains. Perhaps as he feels more comfortable/experienced he can leave his man more when we win the ball? Footy these days doesnt have too many one on ones so key backs have to be multiskilled

Close thread. Best not to encourage rumour without any basis whatsoever

fair enough. wouldnt have thought we would count 3 game packages as memberships but im sure the other clubs do. i wonder what the actual membership numbers are for clubs. full season memberships

who TF is buying a membership with 7 games to go? weird

I wonder who North and Saints are going to convince to re-sign next? please offer a Mil for Gus and he will sign next week

So wrapped for Gus. Plenty of improvement left in him which is the most exciting part. Awareness/judgement and kicking will improve further Id say, as he has a good technique. Love his tackling too, they usually stick

2017 is the only year out of that lot that we'd had anything approaching a decent side. the other years we were dismal and would have lost playing anywhere/anytime

Never seen him play but Strengths are exactly what we need and weaknesses can all be irradicated by training/experience.

laughable article. She is one of first who used to say the Melbourne Boys Club is ruining the place - before Roosy came along - and now past players and melbourne people 'arent happy'. what a joke. and Malthouse isn't happy? he signed that damn succession plan himself so he can complain about himself Pert oversaw a period of success at the Pies, won their first flag in 20 years and had them commercially flying. And to call him a discard after being a CEO for 11 years is disrespectful. Clearly they were very happy with him the majority of the time Jog on Caro

Loved his speech in front on the backline. Does not waste words this young man the morale and friendship amongst the group looks genuine and terrific. a critical part of any future success

remember all the drafts that were meant to be the best since 2001? Spoiler alert - none of them were close.

Mick is still so bitter about the Buckley succession deal. you signed off on Mick! I think Pert will do very well, he oversaw a period of success on and off the field for Collingwood. they made a mistake with the buckley move but stuff happens. That young 2010 team really should have won 1-2 more flags but Buckley decided a re-build was in order, hilarious! they are only now recovering 6 years later

what a joke of a thread

Any reason to assume he would not join Hawks or Cats like usual? the Cats may not have that much cap space but I'd imagine he would go there for less if needed

Cant think of many if any A graders that have gone to bottom of the table teams. although they get more money when they leave they always go to a team with at least decent change of a flag in the next few years

Thanks for the warning

The kid is a massive unit! Gone are the days of skinny 18 yo’s

he is not a line coach - ie primarily responsible for the fwds/mids/defs so the reporter is full of BS

Yes. I’d say the time to panic is now. ?
