The cops should have got involved I say, whats the difference between a coward punch on the street compared to a football game?

Say he falls hits his head and then dies from the impact a few days later? Slap on the wrists, boys will be boys. 

Yeah of course all will be forgotten when hes taking photos with some local school kids etc

That's the joke. Phoenix is the joke.

He just got an 8 week suspension. Plenty of time for the AFL to rehabiliate his image. Maybe send him around to schools and be around the kids. AFL loves doing that with violent people who wouldn't get a clearance working with children if they assaulted somebody in any other place in Australia.

We love an underdog, not a basketcase. 

Worst is afl fans defending him saying "its s contact sport" "mans game" hur durrrr 

if that was true, we'd be supporting the nix

Yeah he was "feeling sick" with remorse.

That shit is par for the course haha. About 10 years ago I was tonked off my bike by some bitch on her mobile in a green hyundai. In the ambo to hospital the chick was putting a needle in me for the sweet sweet morphine. Exact same time the chick driving yells "fuck hold on" and slams the breaks in traffic. Needle went bang up my arm. To this day I think that hurt more than taking the hit from the car (and yeah, those hurt too).

I happened to hear one sound byte of him talking...clearly reading from a script about how "remorseful" he supposedly was

Fucken hell man. 

They've been in overdrive this week after an incident on the weekend. Andrew Gaff for West Coast lines up an 18year old kid behind play and coward punches him to the deck. Since then we have gotten the usual from AFL media - "Gaffy" is actually a top bloke, he's best mates with his brother, they played golf together only last week, it's "out of his character" to punch a kid in the face, knock out four teeth, break his jaw, and split the lower lip on his face. It's like it wasn't even his fist doing it. Not Gaffy.

ffs the ambulance had to pass a huge speed bump as it left the pitch. It jumped about a foot in the air

First half to last about 90 minutes

Babbels german efficiency will be huge

I had an U15 comp in Gympie a few years ago. Kid in my team copped a similar injury. Only took about 15mins for the same equipment used for Brattan, to come and take him to hospital.

Brattan finally in the ambulance.

How hard it is to create ffa cup jerseys. The white badge looks so poorly stiched on 

Own goal and a pen, but will take it. 

Especially after the king in perth on the weekend. They are in damage control

No blow too low.

Jesus wanderers crusing

We Aussies love an underdog.

Now that I think on it, I broke my arm a few minutes from here in the first half of a game and it took until nearly the end of the game for an ambulance from this same hospital. Shouldn't have been surprised.

wonder if eggball propaganda will use this tomorrow to show how "safe" their sport is in comparison

I thought you were gonna smash em 5 nil?

Second ambo has come onto the field. Brattan had been on the deck for over half an hour.

With Bentleigh Greens down a man we just might dick this!.

Actually this isnt out of the ordinary couple of years ago. A mate popped his knee out at indoor. Hospital was 5 mins down the road. Took 45 mins for them to come.

Suspected spinal injury apparently
