The AFL Discussion Thread

[Humid]

Attendance was splashed on screen all night so don't need google or Oztam proof. If it didn't fill a stadium in it's heartland there would be real questions asked. It's not like they had to offer two friends for free tickets for each one sold like they did at the MCG ... or did they?

Spent the night at the local with the usual Origin spartan audience of about 10, that had whittled down from the recidivist Sunday 200+ crowd an hour earlier.

I guess they all went home and watched on telly with lights out and the screens off, because I made a point of taking a walk at half time to see what was happening in surrounding streets and it was pitch black housing...go figure.

Not surprised when you live in Frankston

Pushing off a bloke who is holding you down is no big deal.

Clarity of mind and vision is no excuse for defending him.

 

[SirRumpole]

Sorry about that, I should have taken the PC route. That big bully Franklin , pushing a little bloke like Rance, he should be barred from the game.

**Breaking**

Buddy gets off, Tigers Vlastuan gets a week for elbowing Parker.

Lions flogging Freo.

Might portend a good year 2019 for Brisbane

 

[SirRumpole]

A weekend of upsets.

Dogs beat Cats.
Adelaide beats WC.
Saints beat Melbourne.
Bombers beat North.

Seems no one is safe.

 

[SirRumpole]

A big loss to Hawthorn and the game.

Cyril Rioli retires.

It was touch and go in the third quarter, but the Bombers managed to outclass the umpire and win. Sydney also appeared now and again.

How much should Gaff get ?

It's not a good look.

Can he be prosecuted for assault ?

I'd give him 10 weeks.

 

[SirRumpole]

I'd give him 10 weeks.

So would I but that's a bit extreme when a serial offender like Barry Hall only got 7 for something similar.

 

[Tisme]

Remember Dermott Brereton and THAT grand final?

So many parts of this I just can't comprehend such as:
- they were apparently playing golf together prior to the game so it's not like they were arch enemies.
- the young kid isn't even an annoying tagger and wins his own ball.
- Gaff was actually playing a very good game prior to the incident.
- never seen Gaff take a cheap shot like that before.

Can't see him playing again this year as a bare minimum. So that's at least 6 weeks plus what the AFL want to do to eradicate this sort of nonsense.
