Round 20: West Coast v Fremantly Sunday 2:40pm AWST @OS

[OhhDeledio]

Awkward moment when you bash one of your teammates brother...

Never thought of that

Awkward moment when you bash one of your teammates brother...

That's one angle we've forgotten about.

 

[JOELY]

Pretty clear what happened imo. Brayshaw was niggling him, as you do with a good player. I reckon Gaff went to jab him in the chest as always happens and just got it all wrong. Got him in the chin.

It’ll be intentional, high contact, impact will depend... could be a split lip or could be a broken jaw. Will go straight to the tribunal.

If it’s a bad injury 6 weeks. If he’s ok to play next week, 3-4.

It's a weird one, i watched it a few times on replay and i tend to agree. A bit more than a jab, it wasn't really a punch so much as a wild reckless swing but i don't think he meant to get him like that. Will cop it either way.

Adam Simpson consoling Gaff is interesting considering that in about an hour at the presser he will undoubtedly state that he cannot comment on the incident as he did not see it.

 

[Freofalcon]

Oh look, the one person looking at it with clear eyes.

It will be high/severe, Freo aren't exactly going to downplay it in the medical report.

Don't need to.

He looks likes he had too much pasta sauce for lunch.

Claret everywhere.

 

[Unique Name]

Mate he made a mistake it’s not like him at all

A mistake!!!! He king hit a kid.

A mistake is forgetting to put the dishwasher on.

 

[kaiserchief13]

An whay do you think of assaulting an 18yr old.

It was a ******* king hit.

If you believe that was a king hit I don't know what to say

 

[ep2018]

Looking forward to the melts when he only gets 3-4 weeks.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Anyone thinking it was more than this is letting their emotions get the better of them.

There’s always a few people who go crazy straight after these things.

Players whack their taggers in the chest all the time. He’s got this terribly wrong and chinned him.

 

[WCE Wizard]

A mistake!!!! He king hit a kid.

A mistake is forgetting to put the dishwasher on.

Well he will get suspended in the 168 games he has never done this

 

[Smeg Head]

Don't need to.

He looks likes he had too much pasta sauce for lunch.

Claret everywhere.

Utterly stupid thing to do. Your purple mates in here are embarrassing themselves with their vile vitriol though.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Vickery on Cox was four weeks in a ruck contest. This was off the ball so he should be looking at 5 at least. They might show mercy and make it 5, in the event West Coast reaches the GF. Depends on Brayshaw’s injuries.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Gaffs gutted, Simmo trying to comfort him. Brain fade of the worst order

Oh, woe is me.

**** him. Dog.

 

[Coaster2012]

If he comes back without a concussion then it could be said he just nabbed him on the nose. I personally dont think Gaff meant to hit him in the face, he just lashed out and found himself connecting.

5 weeks is my worst case. Heres hoping.

 

[raffrox]

How is that a justification?

Everyone would do the same is a crap excuse. You don't know that.

Call out crap behaviour or you are condoning it. Simple.

 

[Probitas_]

Adam Simpson consoling Gaff is interesting considering that in about an hour at the presser he will undoubtedly state that he cannot comment on the incident as he did not see it.

Took less than two minutes for you to be wrong. Great call

 

[sedders]

A mistake!!!! He king hit a kid.

A mistake is forgetting to put the dishwasher on.

If you think gaff deliberately 'king hit' him you need your head read. Obviously had no intention of taking out a player and got his aim wrong while brawshaw moved and ducked

 

[passmark]

What a massive coward.

Hides on the bench.

And now the good old boys will spend the the time between now and the tribunal getting him off.

Sickening.

 

[astro1212]

Gaff better be leaving WA at the end of the year because he wouldn't want to be walking the streets on his own.

Why? What are you suggesting you or your fellow freo supporters going to do?

 

[Unique Name]

Well done Pav. 6 weeks easy.

 

[Struggle]

yeah ballas. Get into the coward

 

[Bunk Moreland]

After watching the replay a couple of times i reckon brayshaw even 'ducks' slightly when he takes a step right before Gaff swings, probably threw his aim off a bit too

Yeah agree. Brayshaw seemed a bit off balance and dropped a bit.

I mean look now, Walters is already punching Gaff in the chest - the same thing.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Pav:
"It will be AT LEAST 6"

He says with his number 29 Freo jumper on.

 

[wcesam]

Well done Pav. 6 weeks easy.

Careful on the Perth streets.. right Joe?

Yeah agreed. Looks like he missed and just got him badly in the jaw. Eagles argument will be that it wasn’t intentional and hope they can convince the afl either way. Regardless he will miss the rest of the season but West Coast will have their fingers crossed he will play finals
