You've spent it thinking about @DanWCE's boobmilk stout haven't you?

EFA

Never a dull moment is there?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Oh well, Leeds start tonight. Looking forward to a different set of ill disciplined weirdos disappointing me for the next few months.

 

[JordanWCE]

Anyone know if the Charity Shield is being shown on any channels tonight, or do I have to go stream hunting?

Gonna have to stream hunt, unfortunately.

So I was working and didn't watch or listen to the game

Did I miss much?

Anything interesting happen?

You aren't stealing my 2015 POTY pal

Superfooty podcast doesn't seem that interested in the Gaff suspension, think he should get 4-5. I don't think that's likely.

 

[happy_eagle]

I just hope the media don't get carried away and try to one up each other in the outrageous comments stakes to sensationalise things.

Wonder if it was recorded before the broken jaw part came out.

 

[Quinz]

I think charges will be considered.

No they mentioned the 'likely broken jaw and missing teeth'.

Is Australia signatory to the International Criminal Court? Should we turn Gaff over to the UN?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Be interested to see which journos have changed their mind on criminal charges since Bugg, Cameron, Hodge on the goalpost etc.

Get those clicks boys.

We need to charter the private cruise liner to get Gaff to international waters if we hope to avoid extradition.

Can we get FIBA to handle the punishment?

 

[FKASC]

Hundreds and hundreds of punches are thrown each year in the AFL, yet this one is a criminal act because it broke a jaw.

I guess this is kind of how it works in the real world...you get penalised for the damage incurred by the other party.

But s**t, it just feels like there are so many other on-field acts each year that are just as bad, committed by known repeat offenders, and no one mentions criminal charges.

Brayshaw would get a week for inciting the hit.

Gaff should consider converting to Islam and giving old Malcom a call.

It’s a real grey area for me.

Why shouldn’t hits like Gaff’s and Hall’s land them in legal trouble? If they committed the same act 20m away over the boundary they’d get hauled off by the police.

Why does being on the sporting field grant them some weird immunity? Maybe players who physically assault opponents should spend a night in lock up.

Cole should have chucked one of those photographers chairs while he was sitting on the bench.

I guess because it is covered by a system all participants agree to and physical contact is allowed unless your are Nic, Brashaw was contesting gaff (illegally) and Gaff responded (Illegally) so that he could play the game

Who is culpable - \
Umpires who penalise Brashaw for blocking 100m from the ball according to lyon - then not response from gaff
lyon for coachin the illegal tactic - can he actually coach so he may have a defence
gaff for responding to Brashaw
the AFL and the media for their endless promotion of the derby a sa punch up - I am sure yesterdays skirmishes will be used next season
