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.
