Lot of emotion here and its understandable but calm required. Let process happen. I'd expect 6 weeks. A really foolish act by a player who has an outstanding record. Attack what he did by all means but the personal vitriol does not help.

It's not but it's sure as hell a lot less callous than rearranging someones face...I still find it very hard to coprehend he meant to do it.
Think I'm in a bit of shock TBH.
I really feel for Brayshaw, it'll make for a very weird dynamic with Hamish on our list.

Thought the same about Vickery on Cox - can you imagine the reaction from WC supporters on here if I had made that thought public?
100% agree. I mean the fact that the eagles supporters didn't immediately condemn a club legend for an out of character brain fade that he obviously regretted the moment it happened, drag him into the crowd and beat him to death basically means that they are all individually worse than Hitler.

No need to be dramatic.
You are imagining things Mofra, pot kettle black on a tenuous spin.

I want to get an idea on neutral supporters opinions on the cheering for Gaff by WC fans after the incident.
Logically, I understand why you did it but it left a very bad taste in my mouth and I lost a fair bit of respect for you lot. I am obviously biased

That's 6 weeks. West Coast will finish 2nd win their first final and play a prelim at home. He's going to miss a GF.
I expect him to get 5 based on that scenario.

Exactly!!
Should be 7 just to make sure he can't play this year.

Have to admit while at the ground i was disappointed with the crowd clapping him off the ground like a hero.
There was thread on it but it was promptly deleted. Would love to know why, especially given the the amount of crap threads that stay up on here every week.
Wake up sheeple!!!

"Neutral fans should be applauding" was the line - your attempt to mitigate a poster mitigating a dog act is like some sort of weird inception (and not sure why you're quoting a completely unrelated post above mine).
That's the sort of shit suspensions are for. I argue a bit less than most do for most offences, because shit happens sometimes, but that sort of shit shouldn't happen. 6 weeks minimum.

The other thing that really infuriates me in these situations is the comments “it's so out of character” “he`s never done anything like this”.
Yeah, the number of current players who have in the AFL you can count on one hand. Extending that to junior and amateur careers the number of current players who have would still be very low. Players don't do this these days. Never before having punched someone in the face and breaking their jaw is not a defence when you just ****ing have. Neither have 43 other players out there, Gaff wasn't special beforehand for never having done it and he shouldn't receive a discount. Just like Houli`s tribunal was a farce because he can be a role model in the community and be a great religious man all he likes, but he still punched a player out cold and that's all that should matter.

In answer to the question of the thread it wont be his last game for the Eagles if we make the Grand Final, but that task just got a whole lot harder.
He is in hospital awaiting surgery with a broken jaw and missing teeth so no.

Pretty much straight to hospital.
