AFL legend Leigh Matthews says Andrew Gaff will be ‘mortally wounded for the rest of his life’ https://thewest.com.au/sport/west-coast-eagles/afl-legend-leigh-matthews-says-andrew-gaff-will-be-mortally-wounded-for-the-rest-of-his-life-ng-b88918880z

Some people are carrying on that badly that it's almost like he's standing trial for manslaughter.

Correct. Two 8 goal quarters in that game. Q1 8.2 and Q3 8.4 July 25, 2010 @MCG in front of a crowd of 29,374 Melb 22.10.142 Syd 10.9.69 B Green 5 goals, Sylvia BOG with 28 disposals. Followed it up with a draw in R1, 2011 then 6 straight losses by 101 points, 31, 31, 38, 55 and last year a 35 point loss.

Well if I were Gaff, I'd be paying for it, unsure that'll happen though. Insurance will cover it.

I'm not a dentist so can't comment on the dentistry side with modern technology. It will be expensive, that I do know.

Brayshaw broken jaw and can't eat solids for 4 weeks.

I've said 8, but AFL needs to make a stand so 12 is acceptable also. Stop jumper punches too and make it an automatic 2 weeks suspension, that'll remove it from the game you'd think.

Gerard Whateley wants 12 weeks for Gaff.

They had Jones on SEN this morning and he said Angus was quite shocked and upset from memory. Good point about Mrs Brayshaw, a mother worries enough daily without having the footy issues she's dealt with, I hope she's doing OK too.

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.

Unfortunately not, have enquired before. A job for @Nasher plz!

If you get the chance, watch Ross Lyons presser to see how his mum is feeling, she’s distraught and so is Ross by the look of him.

What’s done is done, I’d still have him at the Dees in a heartbeat

Gaffs head not in a good place today

Dockers even it up and knocked him out or close too

Don’t even go there jnr ?

Who is deeluded? I’m lost. Is it an older poster?

You're just getting old rp that's all.

Regarded as one of the game’s best development coaches, McCartney joined Melbourne in February 2015, after coaching the Western Bulldogs from 2012-14. He was initially appointed development and strategy coach, but in September 2016 was named player/coach performance manager in line with Simon Goodwin’s elevation to senior coach. The role oversees the development of Melbourne’s coaches, along with driving the performance of the club’s player group. McCartney continues to work closely in player development with Matthew Egan. McCartney, who is one of a handful of people to have coached at the highest level without playing a VFL/AFL match, has an outstanding coaching background in various forms of the game. For the record, his father Graham McCartney played one match for Richmond in 1957. Originally a player with Newtown/Chilwell in the Geelong Football League, McCartney later coached Ocean Grove to four successive premierships from 1994-97. He then became Richmond’s assistant and development coach from 1998-99 under former coach Jeff Gieschen. From 2000-10, he was an assistant coach throughout Mark Thompson’s entire tenure at Geelong. McCartney played a pivotal role in Geelong’s two premierships in 2007 and 2009, and his legacy continued into the club’s 2011 flag. In 2010, McCartney was named AFLCA’s assistant coach of the year. He joined Essendon for one season under senior coach James Hird – the same time Thompson returned to the Bombers in a coaching capacity. At the end of the 2011 season, McCartney was named coach of the Bulldogs. He coached the Dogs for three seasons, before resigning. McCartney’s time at the Bulldogs was acknowledged by many after it won the 2016 premiership. McCartney’s experience and knowledge has already proven to be invaluable at Melbourne and he remains an integral part of Goodwin’s coaching panel.

Lol don't even get me started on Jones. Did I read during the week that Jones has been the biggest slider in the AFL player rankings this year? Also, my post was part of a running joke, I do enjoy a bit of humour - rare around these parts.

Did you see his one handed pick up and evasive glide out of trouble last week?

I'd definitely have a crack at Whitfield, star

I think clubs pump up their own assistants if they're looking to coach. Cats - McCartney, Collingwood - Neeld, Watters, Richardson etc. Cooney does seem like a larrikin so would believe that for sure. Always two sides to every story.
