Well, after reading the Bruns article I’m not so shocked now. Matthews’ punch luckily missed his temple by half an inch and with a force that strong on a temple Bruns wouldn’t have come out of it according to the doctor.

22 pages added on this thread since the Gaff incident, well let’s say 21 if you minus the posts suggesting Jones is off to the Suns and only 10 on the Post Match. Gaff is flying to Melbourne for the hearing and West Coast are expected to argue Gaff was trying to make contact with the chest. My guess, Gaff gets 8 weeks.

Yes, On The Couch last night. Roos and Healy sent a few messages Gil’s way.

Roos On The Couch tonight. The panel were talking about the Suns then Roos drops this beauty, “ I’m a football man at heart, I love the game and to go see My Team Melbourne win was exciting.” On Ya Roosy. Never get tired of hearing that.

Nope. Actually, if he misses games next year from this suspension is he eligible for next year’s Brownlow?

It’s starting fellas. The overseas raiders are on the way soon. https://apple.news/AWeZHNnhpSN6zTTuvCOMSRA

Agreed, it is odd. $1.33 on TAB and they moved the line out from -17.5 to -21.5.

Wow, there’s talk of Hannebery and Rohan returning and the plunge is on us?

Shane Warne was on SEN this morning and offered himself at auction to raise funds. Highest bidder will get the chance for 10 people to bat in the MCG nets with Warne bowling at them for an hour or two.

I count 14 players that have reached double figures in goals this year. I don’t know if that’s a record but it’s a nice stat nonetheless.

We are responsible dog owners ( when we win) but someone in the street isn’t. Which reminds me, if we beat the Swans I will finally take the dog for a walk.

Has anyone noticed Gaff placing his right arm behind Brayshaw’s back/shoulder right before the hit? Didn’t leave Brayshaw much room to manoeuvre even if he saw the hit coming. IMO this was a deliberate act to hurt him in some way.

As short as $1.75 on TAB for top 4.

Laughed really hard at the above then realised I could be your neighbour. Are you anywhere near the Northern suburbs of Melbourne?

Certainly helps a lot when arguably 8 of your most important players can stay healthy for a long time. Games Missed since the start of 2017. Rance - 0 Astbury - 1 Grimes - 1 Cotchin - 1 Martin - 1 Lambert - 1 Nankervis - 1 Riewoldt - 2

Keisuke Honda signs with Melbourne Victory. Only 32 and will offer plenty IMO. Interesting to see if Victory break the 30,000 members. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/soccer-japan-s-honda-signs-with-melbourne-victory

How can Adam Simpson come out and say he’s not sure that was an intentional hit? David King interviewed Gaff in the rooms and asked if it was a brain fade or an accident. Gaff didn’t make any excuses in reply, said he will be dealt with during the week.

6. Oliver 5. Brayshaw 4. Hogan 3. Salem 2. Harmes 1. Tyson

Anyone watch the full presser from Goody? Have the news going on in the background and overheard a snipet, something about where we sit Round 23. Didn’t even realise they were talking about us until I heard that.

If Melksham is unavailable I’d bring Kent in for Smith. If Sydney decide to get tricky and bring another ruckman in to utilise Sinclair as a forward which they have done with some success in the past we could be stretched down back. JKH might have to be the other out for Pedersen in that scenario.

That amount of force could have done serious damage even to the chest. Only two weeks ago some wanted Hawkins done for pushing down on Fritta’s sternum. I don’t care where Gaff was aiming nor does Brayshaw right now.

Da future.....right there. Bonds are strong.

Slightly off topic, awesome mark by Walters today. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2018-08-05/walters-mark-of-the-year-contender

The force was strong enough to cause a broken jaw. If he was aiming for the chest region the damage inflicted could have been just as serious.

Totally, heart rate didn’t register a single beat over 60.
