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....

Omac will NOT be dropped. No way.

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.

Only an accumulator ?

Watching the Suns reminded me of us during the Neeld years. They were terrible today

What a [censored] boring game

Damn you Dazzle!

For the sake of us who use the ignore function PLEASE DON'T QUOTE DEELUDED

My understanding is that the AFL can give them a pick anywhere. Could be after their 1st pick, or it could be 'mid first round' or it could be 'early first round'

Better than the old wheelbarrow you used last time I saw you at the G!

Why would WCE do a side trade as part of Gaff deal when their compo for him leaving as a RFA would surely be a pick inside top 10. In a draft with excellent high end talent, this would clearly be better than trading for, say, Tyson, Harmes or ANB. My understanding is that if Eagles do a trade for Gaff they get no AFL compo. A sneaky lop-sided trade on the side would not get past the AFL trade integrity officer (yes, I know AFL/integrity). Can't see this going through myself.

Hardly consider Cooney the model judge of character. Heard some alarming things there.

1. Not a doctor or medico of any type 2. Not seen Viney's foot 3. Never an elite sportsman Hmmmm..... With all due respect WYL, pardon me for taking your comments very lightly.

So you think he may play only one more game as a result?

Great. Never heard of a player retiring from a hot spot of the toe, let alone one as determined as Jack Viney. But what would the medicos know? They should consult us witch doctors, hey?

Well then, obviously he should retire.

Could be anyone's last game if we take the pessimistic line...

I've seen the attendants try and 'contain' you when there's been a big crowd. It ain't pretty, Uncle.

He wasn't on his own there

Where's his hands? That would make him stand taller

Caro hammering Mitchell departure at WCE in The Age. Claims he's going to Haw to be Clarkson's apprentice for next 4 years

Beautifully put, especially after our game vs Geelong
