Eagles fans getting upset over Michael Johnson..
West Coast are such a culture of deflection.
Cheered Ben Cousins, booed Watson. Revered Chris Mainwaring.
Nesbitt just made an absolute fool of himself and west coast. Press conference to try and get someone for defamation. Yep not about Brayshaw but Gaff's 'immaculate' image. Or about the fans' cheering Gaff. Gotta protect the image.
What about out of respect, have the press conference later or deal with it in house? Nope.
Stay classy West Coast fans.

Why do Freo fans care so much about what WC does?

Deflect, deflect, deflect you just can't help yourself

All we are getting from you lot is

Didn't mean to hit him in the head
So out of character
RTB is a sexual predator
Gaff will be devastated
Brayshaw started it

Now you are comparing the actions of a player who commited a clumsy tackle which earnt a 3 week holiday, to an off the ball king hit which has left a player in hospital requiring surgery to fix a broken jaw and 4 displaced teeth

Cameron got 5 weeks for his hit which sent Harris Andrews to hospital with bleeding on the brain and delayed concussion, Andrews missed 5 games

Nyhuis got only 2 less for a clumsy tackle that momentarily knocked out Robbie Gray, yet he played the following week. BTW show me one post where I blamed Robbie Gray

Gaff's coward punch on an 18 yr old Rookie has put Brayshaw out for the season, he can't eat solids for the next 4 weeks
The Dockers Season has only 3 weeks left, if the season was still young how long would he miss? 4-6weeks. I know it suits your narrative to say season as it sounds alot worse.

we got upset at Johnson because you relentlessly targeted us for having players with drug issues, only for it to be found out that one of your own does to, but apparently that's different.

cousins was one of our better players, and when he came back on the field we clapped for him, I would like to sincerely apologise for..... not booing one of our own players?

everyone booed watson.

the conference had to be done this morning because the media have been in an absolute frenzy, not doing anything would've made the situation far worse. if the club declined to say anything at all that a much worse image.

and yet, somehow Nisbett's decision has something to do with the fans?

wtf are you on about?

if only nisbett paid a bit of hush money, aye?

oh wait, i forgot, freo fans are allowed to bring up completely unrelated instances, but as soon as we do it it's "deflecting". gotcha.

It's called an inferiority complex. It's why their club is going nowhere fast. They need to worry about what they are doing and less about the opposition. Obviously they deserve to be angry and upset at Gaffs actions. However, one thing being lost here is that we belted them easily and the margin should have been wider.

Just seen the coaches votes. Gaff was awarded four votes for the game from one coach (and none from the other). I can't see Lyon giving him any votes in the circumstances, which means Simpson must have given him four votes.

I know there's no explicit "fairest" criterion in the AFLCA voting, but it stills feels a bit "off" to adjudicate someone as second BOG when they were the instigator of an incident such as this one. Combined with his post match comments about the intentionality of the incident - regardless of the common English meaning of the word, in AFL-tribunal speak it was absolutely intentional - I can't help but think Simpson's radar has been a little off with this. Sure, provide support to your player but there are other ways of doing so.

2 team state where 1/2 the people hate you and a good portion of the other half think youve crossed a line.

Melbourne would be looking pretty enticing.
If he leaves the whole state will hate him. Watch the eagles turn on him, especially after everything they've done supporting him through this...

Not sure what else you want him to do in that situation. The incident has happened, Gaff is going to the tribunal, Brayshaw is injured. Not sure there’s any more to it. We’re going to accept whatever penalty is handed down, again, don’t know how he’s deflecting anything. All this coming from someone who supports a team that is hellbent on bettering the team up the road in any possible situation rather than focusing on why they’re such a rubbish organisation on and off the field.
