Andrew Gaff hit on Brayshaw

[Giant Strides]

Well, no arguing about whether that was deliberate or not. Off the ball, not in a contest, a straight haymaker to the jaw. Given precedence (primarily Bugg vs Mills last year) couldn't be less than 6 weeks, but given Mills was essentially unhurt and if Brayshaw has a broken jaw, it should be more. 8-10. But probably will end up as 4-6.

 

[Checkered]

This act was incomparably worse but there will be less media furor over it than there was with the Nyhuis tackle on Gray, bookmark it.

Not a chance in hell.

Biggest story of the week.

 

[Strange Cat]

Howe copped 3 for a too-and-fro where Cripps took a dive. At least 6 for a broken jaw you'd you'd think.
Will probably get a fine though as the footage is grainy

Footage is grainy lol

Clear as day

 

[BG32]

As long as hes ready to go round 1 2019

 

[my name was taken]

It's not like he was flat footed and winded up to punch him in the face. He was trying to push him off and stretched out his arm with a closed fist. Just happened to hit him in the wrong spot which has caused blood to spill. Would be surprised if anything is broken and if it is, it's simply because he got him in the wrong spot

Not even sure you are watching the same thing.

 

[LeverPuller]

For the record, Bugg on Mills

 

[Cold Sober]

You like Brayshaw are soft as butter

You my triple headed little friend are a complete 'NUMBAT'

 

[Acinath]

Shit effort, will get 5-6. Let himself and the rest of the Eagles down with that.

 

[Crowbling]

Disgraceful.

Hope the young lad is ok.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

He threw a punch at a 90 degree angle with an outreached arm. Get someone to do that to you and see if a) it even hurts b) blood spills

How about get someone to do it you and see how you go. I don’t know if you’d still be able to talk so much shit after your jaw is broken.

 

[JoeHawk]

Right hook punch

6 - 8 weeks would be my guess

Um...that’d be left...anyway, can’t believe some here defending it and suggesting it was a misdirected push.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Reckon he went to hit him in the chest and misjudged it badly.

Lots of weeks.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Wow. Still salty...

Just about broke someone’s neck...

Not my team involved so what’s there to be Salty about?

"stretched out his arm with a closed fist"

Keep digging.

 

[alexmcd]

If bugg got 6, gaff will get 6 at least. Not sure if good bloke factor and no prior record will lower it.

 

[kaiserchief13]

"stretched out his arm with a closed fist"

Keep digging.

Watch the replay

 

[drd23]

Looks worse than the Bugg hit to me in that Gaff has a bigger wind up. 5 or 6 weeks minimum (can't remember how much of Bugg's 6 weeks was because of priors)

 

[JoeHawk]

6 weeks probably. Maybe 5. Same as Cameron possibly.

This far worse than Cameron. At least Cameron’s hit was in play. This was totally unexpected.

 

[theyellowsash]

Minimum 5 at least. The only thing different to the bugg hit is that brayshaw wasn't concussed but really if the afl wants to be serious about preventing king hits, the injury result should have nothing to do with it not should intent. It should be judged on the act alone, and the act was an unprovoked swinging punch to the face

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Dirty act. 5 weeks at least.

 

[Dez!]

Watch the replay

It's clear as day he threw a punch, my God you are completely blind and stupid.

 

[Tulip]

Awkward come Monday morning when he sees Hamish Brayshaw at training

 

[Dez!]

You mean Mills wasn't concussed, Brayshaw went to hospital.

Sorry dude, thought you meant the low level DUI before playing your mob. Whose neck did he nearly break?

Will be put through the "Gaff superstar/good bloke" filter.... 5-6... When in actual fact just like Bugg it should be criminal charges.
