How did this guy survive the cousins saga. He has burnt through so many players. He over saw cousins, chick, etc flush their lives away for his own gain. Now he wants to burn an 18 year old docker. **** off you muppet

There are major flaws with this proposed system, and Gaff is a prime example of why. If he leaves the Eagles at the end of this season, he would (potentially under this idea) serve 3 weeks suspension as an Eagle, play in a finals series and premiership with them, and then serve ten weeks suspension for his new club next year.

Or, what if a 33 year old gets suspended, elects to roll the suspension to next season and then retires after the Grand Final?

Or, a player breaks an opponents jaw in a Qualifying Final and rolls his subsequent suspension to next year. In the Grand Final, the same two teams could meet (as did happen with WCE v Sydney in both 2005 and 2006), with the victim sitting in the stands watching the perpetrator running around in the GF.
Yeah i agree.

there are lots of problems to be thought about.

At the moment we have a situation where players flat out are getting away with it though.
 
If you are waiting for me to argue - you wouldnt want to hold your breath.

I think the booing was shit.

Made it very clear at the time - make it very clear now.

My point is all clubs fans booed.

you guys are trying to tie these two incidents together - id like to know what you are trying to acheive with that?
 
Omg. I just watched this again. What a sanctamonias prick. How can you make out ross to be the bad guy. Extremely accurate?
The guys didnt play golf. They have never met.
Just take one persons word over another’s without knowing anything and repeat it as fact.
 
The way to fix it is to outlaw it from the game. You don't have to throw punches to be a hard footballer. The game doesn't need it... get rid of it.

I don't disagree but look at all the things the AFL tried to come down on hard, how many people over the last year or two have been harshly dealt with in the eyes of the fans, Hawkins for example, first with the jumper punches and then with the umpire contact.

Then they soften their stance (i.e with Dustin Martin intentionally touching an umpire) and fans still arent happy.

Just guessing, but probably a comment about WC fan behaviour.
 
Are the purple skirt fans in here really trying to tie the booing of Adam Goodes (which all clubs did) to the Eagles fans cheering Gaff (where no replays were shown of the hit off the ball)?

Fair dinkum.
Many of your fans posting in these forums have continued their poor behaviour. Not all, and not the majority thank goodness. But a significant element.

Lol. That was a glancing blow and Cripps played the next week. Completely incomparable to what Andy Brayshaw is going through.

This is the sort of "logic" one has to deal with in the world everyday .....

So if i break your jaw a little bit v break your jaw a lot there is a massive difference between the offences? The actions are hugely different?

One bloke has a harder head or the punch is 1cm further right or whatever .... one guy deserves a panel show and lots of macho ribbing, the other a flogging in the town square and must be made an example to all - won't someone think of the children and all that ... either a punch to the head that breaks a jaw is a hanging offence or it isn't.. surely?

Just the booing in general i would have thought. Your crowd have not an ounce of fair play in there heart.
