Play Nice Was that Gaffs last game for WC?

[DivideandMultiply]

Actually that's exactly what his job is.

It's literally not.

 

[Smeg Head]

Brayshaws age has nothing to do with it

They must have given Johnson a massive pensioner discount on his DELIBERATE and coaching orchestrated attack on Gaff's head.

 

[beema limapep]

The melt isn't worth it. Bloke is gonna have a ****** mouth for life.

well said.

the more i think about it, it should be a double digit suspension.

 

[kaiserchief13]

It never is. That's why medical reports are used as evidence.

That's where afl has it wrong. Punish the act not the outcome

 

[Milanista28]

Don't troll like that, fella. Pretty rotten to suggest such a thing just because you think it's funny.

I apologize

 

[Carl Spackler]

do you even know what CTE is?

Yes.

Two weeks vs four months and permanent physical injuries. He's lucky to get under 16 weeks.

 

[largebus]

Stupid amount of hysteria on here, and the media furiously circle jerking themselves to a whole other level and just making stuff up.

Was always going to plead guilty, and was always going to get the longest ban in recent history, especially as it distracts everyone from the monumental incompetence of Gil in the last week.

Hmm you're right
How much do you think Gil payed Gaff to distract us from his imcompetence?

 

[Ron The Bear]

Brayshaws age has nothing to do with it

Agree, but it adds an emotive edge. People wouldn't be carrying on the same way if it was e.g. Ballantyne that was hit.

 

[Strange Cat]

Brayshaws age has nothing to do with it

18 years old with a impairment for life from the coward punch

Quite the defence you’re putting up

 

[Slartibartfast]

You sound like someone in one of those injury compensation ads

But less the money

 

[Badesumofu]

Teeth not viable.

I meant to hit him the chest, I mean stomach, I mean chest. I wasn't frustrated, no not at all.

Not looking good for Gaff here. Gleeson doing his job masterfully. Grace, not so much.

Grace: "My submission is you should impose a penalty at the lower end of the range, which commences at three years..."

"... I mean three weeks."

 

[Malifice]

Gleeson says Gaff's evidence that he wasn't frustrated is "troubling".

He says: "The alternative isn't very colouring. If it was a clear-headed, unfrustrated Andrew Gaff who threw this strike, it is a strike worthy of even more condemnation."

Kudos Gleeson. Great submission.

Thats a pretty extreme example though - from weeks out of the game to a national holiday declared in your name.

Plead guilty. But then says he was trying to hit the stomach, then the chest, then no he was trying to push him out the way.

 

[Tyler Hodges]

Why didn't Gleeson ask the medico how long until Brayshaw would be fit to resume playing professional sport, all we know is he cant eat solids for 4 weeks but what is the timeline for him to be able to play contact sport?

My thoughts exactly. That submission just added 2 weeks to the penalty.

 

[Tony Harrison]

Hope he gets 3. Meltdown will be worth it.

My tip is 8+ though

If he got 3 the AFL will appeal as they did for Houli's 2 match ban.

It is an utterly stupid submission.

Oops.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

3 years might be right call.

 

[Sausages]

That's where afl has it wrong. Punish the act not the outcome

The outcome is prima facie evidence of the act, until proven otherwise. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but even I know that much

If you want to argue philosophically.....where does the act finish and the outcome start?

are you a narcissist? Because it looks like you are taking great pleasure in watching Gaff suffer here.

Excellent analysis and submission by Gleeson wasn’t it

 

[Malifice]

It is an utterly stupid submission.

No it really isnt. Its perfectly valid. And it likely carries a fair bit of weight.
