Yep, 6 weeks. Moment of madness, I guess, but it was a shocker.

He should not play again this season, there is no excuse for a punch to be thrown that breaks a players jaw, what a joke saying he was aiming elsewhere, why was he throwing such a vicious punch in the first place?

Definitely the worst since Barry Hall. Not as bad as Matthews hitting Bruns. It is shocking to see a behind the play king hit which I thought had gone out of the game. I would give him 12 weeks. Disgusting act that has no place on a footy field. Never was ok and not now. Think of the one punch laws now and what could have happened...

Not that long since similar, it is absolutely identical incident to Bugg on Mills just last year, except this has resulted in a broken jaw, that resulted in concussion I think?

Times have moved on since the days of Barry Hall. 8-12 weeks is likely - but quite unfair. Fair is until Brayshaw is 100% recovered, and able to eat with all of his own teeth.

Back in the 60's and 70's it was worth 6 weeks. This kind of full on punch is so not like the game now,its inexcusable. Even if it was a brain fart, even if Gaff is brother Lee Love of the Christian world. The punch was nasty, the intent was there, the result was awful. Minimum 8 weeks for me, but 10-12 could well be considered. im sure he is remorseful, but dosnt excuse the actions..even if he was being niggled.
See ya in 2019 Gaff

If he gets six or less, he has divine intervention.

I don't think it was worse than Hall's punch. Maybe an extra week for impact, so 8 instead of Hall's 7 (or just 7 because of his good record compared to Hall's poor one)? I don't think we need to get hysterical over this, though (life bans, etc.). It was a terrible thing to do, but it was also out of character and he's obviously remorseful. Give him a fair whack (so to speak) and move on.

Walters should get at least 2 weeks too for his square-up.
