Round 20 - Derby not Darby

Unfortunately I think old mate Rolf will make this a scrappy, congested, low scoring game to avoid a blow out and cling onto his dwindling coaching career. I can see McLovin having an absolute field day with the Shocker’s inside entries but I don’t think ours will be too much better based on what I saw last week but having Shuey back will make a huge difference with delivery inside 50. I’d love to see Hutch go to Brayshaw for no other reason than to make sure he goes another week without a Rising Star nomination. West Coast by 30 and McLovin to take out the whatsyacallit medal.

Unc and BJ’s boys will be facing a fired up Sydney with their defenders falling like magpies. It’s only a matter of time before Buddy fires up so strap yourselves in.
 
Hawks and Essendon should also be a free scoring cracker and Hawks can all but claim a spot in the 8 with their superior percentage with a win. Gonna back the Hawks in a close one for MOTR.

We were beaten by a better side on all accounts.
What i expect is a game plan and a game to be played with passion by Freo.
Fuk me he is a kid for christ sake.
Gaff did a grub act.

 Classic! I was reading

Sun, 2018-08-05 20:14

 Classic!

 

I was reading through but it was the usual bs....

 

Gaff.... Arguabley the fairest player in the afl if you ask me.  Didn't seem to have a bad bone in his body but oh well he made a blue. 

 

On another note,  good hit. 

 

Almost a mirror image of the two teams.  

 

Anyway I'm afraid with 6 weeks and not the chance to play a final Might give gaffy enough time to decide to head to Hawk land where he can now learn the art of snapping a post. He's no Lee but today was a good start. 

 

Those Brayshaws are obviously a little soft in the cranium.

 Thanks Daniel, my 18 year son came up with the same summation..... his words "funny how everyone becomes a MRP expert when someone gets hit" he also said the same thing, intended body punch. Gaff is not a player with malice. But he'll cop his lot to keep the pitchfork brigade happy.

Mon, 2018-08-06 06:08

Come on Dale and co...

 

I'm neutral here but come on,  the only "bad" aspect of this is the fact the reckless act was actually very damaging. Was that Gaffs intention,  i doubt it.  If Brayshaw had have bounced up a little groggy and played on or perhaps missed the remainder of the game because of concussion then its no big deal.  

 

I think you lot are putting a bit of extra sauce on it because

A- you got your pants pulled down by big brother again and need a distraction ( much like Rolf )

B- it was one of the up n comers ( i didn't use kid here, that's Rolfs line )

C- because the broken jaw situation. 

 

Imagine if you'd won and won well and it was

 

A- you kicked their arse

B- Zac Dawson

C- no damage done he plays next week. 

 

Let's not get carried away,  Gaff a fair player, made a mistake. 

 

The penalty the tribunal will hand out may be nothing compared to potentially watching his team lose out in a final series from the side line plus the potential brownlow he's also now not in the running for.

Mon, 2018-08-06 07:15

pretty much summed it up timboon

gaff is not a malicious player , never has been , he has committed a crude hit on brayshaw , that in all probabilitys was intended for his shoulder or upper chest area, not the head ,

it goes on every week , this is one that has had the worst of outcomes for both of them ,

gaff will do his penalty and it will stick to him like shit to a blanket for the rest of his days , not condoning it ,its bad look and should be discouraged strongly ,, i think it is way out of what gaff ever intended to be the outcome from that 5 second interaction with brayshaw

Mon, 2018-08-06 07:24

 Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

Mon, 2018-08-06 09:03

Gaff's gotta remember that we can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
