Play Nice Was that Gaffs last game for WC?

[Cdog71]

Whats the story with him playing golf with the Brayshaws...
Was lying?

 

[basashi]

The only problem for Gaff and the League now is that if Brayshaw proceeds with the police complaint, no one can tell Brayshaw that the tribunal penalty is complete enough to conclude the issue.

 

[SloppyJoe]

8 not enough.

AFL should appeal

The AFL sought 8-12 weeks. There is not going to be any appeal.

I have the tissues for you buddy.

Thanks

Anyone who uses the word “fair” is a *******

Fair
Fair
Fair
Fair
Fair

 

[kaiserchief13]

Why on earth would they?

8 weeks is perfectly fair for this kind of thing. Its the lower end of what the AFL were seeking, and they absolutely won the arguments in the hearing.

Nothing to lose

 

[Forward Press]

Gaff's defence arguing for three was mind blowing.

They weren't asking for three. The lawyer simply stated three is the base point for these category of cases (high impact, high contact, intentional). It's very misleading to state that therefore this means Gaff should only get three - clearly this isn't on the lower end of the scale of these cases.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

So Brayshaw teeth and ongoing dental rehab are only worth an extra 2 weeks over what Bugg got for decking Mills (who played the following week)
As I said, what a ****en joke the AFL is

 

[Dan]

The gamble by WCE to hire work experience lad Grace to represent Gaff seems to have not paid off.

8 weeks and everyone now sees Gaff as a coward who king hit a teenager and a germ who tried to bullshit his way out of it.

His stomach... no his chest.... no I was trying to push him.... no it was Brayshaw's fault for moving.

This is part of his character now.

Disgusting.

it was worse than solomon who also got 8.

8 seems fair. I personally don't agree with the way police take a hands off approach to assault on a sporting field.

R v Billinghurst is the precedent. If WaPol charged Gaff, and the DPP did their job they would absolutely secure a conviction.

You sure about that?

From my understanding, the Tribunal can impose a worse sentence.

I just out of the car and was listening to SEN so I didn't hear that bit.

He didn't try to bullshit his way out of anything.

Take it and run. We dont need the distraction of an appeal.

I'm not entirely sure about that.

Spot on. KC13 is not exactly known for his smarts, go gentle on him people.

I await your thesis condemning all the acts of violence from Fremantle players over the years, because its a long list.

I thought as 8 was in the range they wanted they can't get more

 

[Joey longshadow]

better not come to Pakenham.

To be fair I would recommend that course of action to everyone

 

[Cmarsh]

To answer the title question, yes he has played his last game for WC.

It would be hard for the AFL to argue that the tribunal made an error when that was in the range the AFL advocated.

close thread.

Again, are you sure about that?

You'd want to be careful in appealing a decision like this. Most punters were saying 7-8 (and at least 6) when it happened.
