A pretty good article I thought that outlines a lot of the hypotheticals many of us are probably thinking. Gaff faces million-dollar quandary
-
It's been said that Gaff was actually involved in the 186 debacle.
-
Isn’t it funny how some of the most frequent of posters have suddenly disappeared after Mark Brayshaw was interviewed? It’s called keeping your powder dry until the facts have been brought to the surface. It’s okay to have an opinion but you can do that without being idiots and jumping to conclusions.

Sorry to hear your young bloke got whacked, bingers. I think the coward punch has or is starting to take in different circumstances now. You can be facing and looking at someone but if you’re unaware of a blow about to be thrown then you’re gonna be in strife. I guess the term ‘king hit’ was more likened to getting punched from behind.
-
I think Gaff should appeal. jokes.... 8 is about right.
-
I think Simpson did the right thing under the circumstances. He was short on options to be fair...
-
I suppose it’s Gleeson’s job to paint as worst picture as possible and he’s doing it well.
-
Fair bump..
-
Have you even stopped to eat or sleep since this incident took place?
-
I was until I was notified of you accusing me of condoning thuggery. Now you're accusing me of a "man not of his word" and you don't even know me... Don't bother responding again because you'll be on ignore.
-
You’re a joke mate. Reading and comprehension are clearly difficult for you. I’m not even going to bother any further.
-
I'll be slightly more assured we play finals.
-
Thanks, jnrmac. To be honest I didn't even realise I'd been labelled as a supporter of thuggery. I stopped reading that particular poster a long time ago when all the unhinged and emotional Jack Watts debate was raging.
-
Well stop trying to draw ridiculous comparisons with events that happened 45 years ago.
-
What month was that? I need to work out if I was born or still a foetus in order to answer it accurately.
-
FFS. What hyperbole. He's not a paedophile.
-
Huh? I said nothing about missing with the punch. It was not his intent to knock his teeth out is my assertion. And as for running away, you're trying to compress all of the madness that took into a split second decision and then expect him to do what exactly?
-
He's an elite footballer. We're in the business of winning premierships. He will help that cause. I still want him.
-
Not a defence as such but a view that he didn't mean to knock his teeth out should be put forward.
-
I don't know if it's been mentioned earlier in this thread but in my opinion it's pretty clear that the swinging arm was directed at Brayshaws chest but right at that moment when Gaff started the swing, Brayshaw dipped enough that he weared it flush in the mouth. I expect this to be argued in his defence. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the knuckle on the index finger that did the damage either as the fist would've struck more from that side of the hand.
-
Galbally talking about rubbing him out for a year??? Good Lord.
-
One thing's for sure, it's going to be compulsory viewing of the twitter feed of the tribunal as to what Gaffs lawyer comes up with. Due to the outcome based adjudication in these cases, he's gone for the year. However the case put forward by the WCE lawyers will be instrumental in how Gaff is able to resurrect his image and continue to play footy. It was bad and I feel terrible for Brayshaw but I'm adamant that Gaff isn't a thug. It doesn't change my opinion that the MFC would benefit greatly from his services.
-
I trust you can see a level of irony in what you’ve posted.
-
Lol. You can see that from on the television? Spare me.
-
The way some of you are carrying on indicates you’ve never played a game of footy in your life. If you think Gaff aimed for Brayshaws head with that punch then you’re mistaken. I’m not condoning the action at all but I can understand how these things can happen in an instant. Gaff was clearly mortified by what he did and again I’m not condoning it - he deserves to go for weeks but I strongly believe the blow was not an intentional one directed to Brayshaws head. Gaff isn’t a thug in my opinion but today he committed a very poorly timed hit that resulted in a terrible outcome of injuries for young Brayshaw. I still want him at the MFC next year because he’s a great player of very good character. What happened today was a combination of a brain fade and unfortunate timings.
