The Freo hate on 6PR would just be playing to audience demographics surely? If they are mostly retirees then the percentage of eagle followers would be much higher than the state average (I'm going to guess 80 to 90 % rather than 55 to 65 % respectively)

*Have never listened to more than 10 seconds of 6PR outside a taxi so my research is not strong.

I hope someone interviews James Brayshaw (ex club president) asking what he thinks of that incident.

This predictable sympathy crap makes me sick, media would be fuming if it was Banfield, a tagger.

David King can **** right off for that interview he did with Gaff.

"Was it an accident?"

Tried to hug him at the end. DO YOUR JOB YOU CAMPAIGNING KNOB JOCKEY.
He was literally putting words in his mouth trying to get Gaff to say it was an accident. These are the same people who wanted to string Nyhuis up for a tackle. What's wrong with them?
At least, to Gaff's credit he didn't take the bait and jump on the accident thing. He owned it at least. He's gone for the year and hopefully from the Eagles.

I am APPALLED at the media focus on 'sorry/shaken/remorseful' Gaff and his oh-so-sympathetic coach. Bloody disgraceful. Where is the spotlight on BRAYSHAW???

Ask yourselves this, Gaff & Simpson. If it was your mate, son or brother who tonight through your unprovoked assault now has 1 - a broken jaw; 2 - lost teeth & going to need implants/dentures at just 18; 3 - looked not only in pain but frightened, bewildered and tearful after his attack; and thus 4 - runs a real risk (though hopefully not) of having a post-traumatic stress reaction that could threaten his whole footy career; 5 - and meantime has had his season and maybe part pre-season killed off; 6 - has also had a good chance of a Rising Star nomination (good for morale and self-belief) also killed off - who deserves the sympathy and the cheers?

Eagles player and coach, you disgust me. And WA media not far behind.

FIRST PARA STARTS: Star West Coast midfielder Andrew Gaff says he is "very remorseful" and feels "sick" following a .....

SECOND PARA STARTS: Gaff was involved in an incident with Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw...

"Involved in an incident"

The impact on Brayshaw was not in the first PARA. The finals / brownlow impact on Gaff WAS!!!!!

"When Brayshaw blocked Gaff’s run, 25 metres from the ball during the third quarter of West Coast’s 58-point win, Gaff responded by swinging his fist into Brayshaw’s face."

Brayshaw did not block the campaigners run so has this Elborough drongo even watched the footage??
