So he should've got off with the regular folk, but he's not regular folk so should be last off? There's more to getting through an airport than just the gate. As a disabled traveller you would know that. The media crush along the concourse, past the security points, along retail outlets could easily have become a safety issue. I'd say the airport did a risk assessment and concluded it would be better if Gaff did not go through the gate. They may also not want ugly airport images in the press to impact their reputation Anyway, moot point now. We disagree.
-
Do regular folk have a pack of media following them ready to push and shove??? Poor analogy. If I was a fellow passenger on that flight I'd be grateful that disruption at the gate was avoided.

The 'music' is the tribunal, not the media scrum

Oskar Baker out for 6 weeks with Hamstring

Rats! A big preseason awaits the fella. Looking forward to seeing him play seniors next year -
Can't say I see a police escort in those photos. I see Gaff bypassing the media at the gate by getting a lift in a ute, maybe driven by airport staff. Looks more like Gaff's support person standing behind him. But, of course, the media scrum are pizzed off at being snubbed, so any sensational headline is therefore acceptable to them. The Hun online now saying it was a 'security escort', so even they have toned it down. Great comments under that tweet too. Edit. And The Age says Gaff was "taken directly from the tarmac to a waiting car by airport staff to avoid a throng of media in the airport." Hardly a police escort for fear of his life. But that's the media... and lazy people believe it.

She's very appealing

Think he's already made up his mind and agreed to terms either way, od

Loved this comment after Stevo's stupid tweet "BREAKING: Explosives and drug dogs spotted at Melbourne airport waiting for the wanted terrorist and international drug trafficker Andrew Gaff."

Feds always have a presence at Tulla airport. Isn't it their domain? #stevoshitstirrer
-
No Gaff? ?

DD, nothing is more certain from us than countless long bombs i50 every game

And to read this thread from first to last post

Correct, however that assault law covers many moves in the game of Aussie Rules. Obviously punching a player isn't in those rules, but police will be reluctant to get involved IMO, it opens a can of worms. Eg. Was Cameron's elbow chargeable by police? Wasn't consentual. Hard to know where to draw the line. I'd rather the AFL dish out harder suspensions for tummy taps, jumper punches, etc. Despite the howls of the outraged majority, i do believe Gaff wanted to punch Brayshaw's chest and in that split second got it horribly wrong. That's not excusing him, however many body punches get off with a fine and are too accepted by players and the MRP. Gaff made a massive mistake which cost Brayshaw dearly. He'll pay the price which should only be in supended matches, not police charges.

Yes, and they can bank a lot of it each year if they dont
-
Yes me too. Footy Classified saying he's had a massive offer from Norf. "Mother of all offers", they claimed.
-
You're probably right, just not happy with all the lynching on the Gaff thread. Let the tribunal do its work. Plus I might do a maths short course ?
-
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?
-
Have been to all of them. BC has reared its ugly head in my family. The game I look out for every year.
-
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
