I saw that, but coaches do not disclose votes. Unlikely but not proven

No it's not. You're making this vote equation up. Fake maths. Where's your evidence to say Simpson 4/Lyon 0? Happy to apologise if I'm wrong, will you and SWYL apologise if your opinion cannot be substantiated? From the evidence so far, its not Simpson who should be ashamed, it you and SWYL

^ FAKE NEWS ^ No evidence to support these.

No, nothing mentioned in pressers. Any real source for 4/0 AFLCA Gaff voting? I ask because if someone writes something as fact without evidence, posters like @No10 and @Sir Why You Little think it's accurate and create ridiculous outrage when it could, in fact, be fake. Not having a go at you, just trying to establish fact without emotion. You may be right, would be good to find the breakdown. Obviously straight after the game the coaches were emotional. You'd hope coaches would be professional enough to vote without bias and the hyperbole of social media. If they can't, and they gave their votes based upon one incident, well, I'm glad they aren't at MFC. Does anyone have the breakdown of which coach gave what votes? Thanks in advance.

Where did you get that breakdown MSF?

Thanks for putting it into reasonable context Ethan I'm sure we'll see that horrific photo at least another 10 times before they day is over. Though it's far from his mind ATM, I bet Andrew Brayshaw would be over the online analysis and hyperbole as well.

Except the rules of Victoria don't necessarily apply in Western Australia, which is where it happened, and the WA Police Commissioner Dawson has already indicated a reluctance to step into the professional sport arena: “Physical contact on the footy field is expected. The central issue here is what should be governed by the sporting code and what falls within the criminal realm." The Saudi Arabia analogy was put in to highlight the stupidity of the original quote. Violence at nightclubs is usually alcohol fueled with a different context

^ not going to happen. No chance

More unfounded hyperbole

Gaff's head on a plate, judging by the hysterical outrage of many on this thread. We all condemn Gaff's act and he will probably accept the tribunal's penalty, but some of the suggestions on this thread are ridiculous

You don't think Gus and Gaff might sit down for a beer in October and work past this event? It's called 'professionalism'.

Ok, so it's universally agreed that Gaff hit on Andrew Brayshaw was terrible, yet there's no outrage when posters talk about the Brayshaw boys having Gaff in their sights next year? Revenge is fine, I gather... Posters wanting Simpson suspended, posters wanting Gaff deregistered, posters not wanting him to play at the Dees next year... you'll all clap excitedly when he runs out in red and blue next year (except SWYL, of course)

So I expect all of those who think Gaff should be charged by police to be picketing with placards outside the tribunal this week. Meanwhile, the players will accept it and move on

Reckon Gaff will get 4

^ Except that Bugg went for 6 weeks, picket

He was facing him. Impossible to see where his eyes were looking, to be honest.

Biffen hasn't posted much on here of late. Perhaps he's still hiding inside a putrid wardrobe at the Gat, despite all the construction and cameras

Way too sensible for here DS. Don't let reason and balance get in the way of hysteria and hyperbole!

Agreed. I didn't say Brayshaw wasn't assaulted (ie. physically attacked), but it wasn't outside a night club and he wasn't held by the police. With that logic, if it happened in Saudi Arabia he'd face 100 lashes. Context is different.

Is it possible to block a post quoting a poster you have on ignore? Please, please, please....

It wasn't and he wasn't. It was bad, very bad, but he won't be put in a cell by police. Not should he.

If that's where the line is drawn, then every jumper punch, every tummy tap, every raised elbow should be charged by the cops as assault??? Gaff's hit was clearly bad and he will cop a heavy suspension. But he should not face criminal charges. That was my point. There's plenty of over dramatic outrage on this thread in the last hour or two

Not defending Gaff at all, but your comments are way over the top, Fang. Lots of things happen on the footy field that would be assault on the street. Some are within the rules of the game, some not. That's the nature of contract sport. Gaff's hit was out of character, unacceptable and he'll rightly cop a heavy suspension. Still, I'd love him at the Dees next year.

Damn you Dazzle!
