Play Nice Was that Gaffs last game for WC?

[Smeg Head]

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

He is a lawyer, so by definition he is someone who obviously has some work ethic or ability to learn but choose to not put it to any good use and decided to be a scum sucking leech on society.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Am I the only one thinking that the suspension was decided before anyone entered the room.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Yes.

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

obviously not. I'm done replying to you

 

[southwest bomber]

Did his own lawyer just contradict him?

“He intended to punch him, just not in the face.”

Didnt Gaff say he only intended to push him?

 

[Peel67skin]

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."

Oops.

Grace get herself confuse ?

 

[Malifice]

Excellent analysis and submission by Gleeson wasn’t it

Yeah. He set Gaff up for that one during Cross.

Gleeson: You were frustrated and accordingly lashed out, weren't you?
Gaff: No, that's not true!

(Later on, in closing)

Gleeson: The evidence from Gaff was that he launched the blow clear headed, and without frustration...

Brilliant.

 

[ptrg]

Cannot believe they aren’t just rocking up and accepting their punishment. All this conflated bullshit, remorse, gaff being targeted afterwards.. get stuffed.

They didn’t turn up and admit full guilt, give him the highest penalty.

That would be a masochist.

 

[youmewe]

Was Grace absent the day they taught Law at Law School?

 

[Smeg Head]

Its the AFL, everything is scripted and sculpted to fit a wider 'narrative'.

 

[Scottish Bob]

The defence is having an absolute shocker here, west coast hopefully hired one of those ‘no win no fee’ types. He’s doing Gaff absolutely no favours.

 

[Ron The Bear]

It is an utterly stupid submission.

That guy can be quite withering in his submissions. In the Baker/Johnson hearing, he said Baker was "not much of a man", or words to that effect.

Edit: It was actually Andrew Tinney.

Thankfully you dont run the Criminal Justice system.

 

[evo]

Please dont agitate the Richmond nuffies.

Ease up. As a mod aren't you suppossed to discouraging this type of thing.

How did the defence let him walk into that

What do you expect from a lawyer?

Needed Saul Goodman

I prefer premiership nuffy btw

Grace: "He's pleaded guilty, he's faced the music. He intended to punch him, just not in the face.

Head , chest , stomach now face .

I cant believe he actually suggested 3 matches.

Yes, that's the minimum but clearly it isn't appropriate here. Neither is suggestions of 12, but come on.

Play his entire career at West Coast?

Too cruel.

Have a sook about it

What, the place where this assault should actually be?

 

[SloppyJoe]

Did his own lawyer just contradict him?

“He intended to punch him, just not in the face.”

Didnt Gaff say he only intended to push him?

The coverage has indicated that Gaff has said both. But he wasn't grilled about this apparent inconsistency by the AFL's counsel (unlike the stomach/chest inconsistency). Which leads me to conclude there is some inaccuracies in the reporting.

 

[Joey longshadow]

If he comes to Melbourne I will giving to him as well.

At first I though you dog.

Then I brought the story he was aiming for shoulder/chest.

Then hearing Gaff say that he went for the stomach in the tribunal and changes to chest again.

As for being a good person I brought that too until he start lying to the tribunal.

Blames the dockers from blocking him from the ball. How much does that happen in a game? West Coast were doing worse to Neale but if Neale king hit somebody, I would be supporting him.

Yep.. He's gonna have to wear the consequences of his actions. ..just like everyone else. . .But from his point of view he's better off leaving WA
