Gaff out for eight weeks after punch
AN emotional Angus Brayshaw says his younger brother was the victim of an “assault” that could have landed West Coast star Andrew Gaff in jail.
But the pair may yet become teammates with Melbourne co-captain Nathan Jones confident relationships will be repaired if AFL free agent Gaff lands at the Demons next season.
Gaff received an eight-week ban from the AFL tribunal last night over the punch that broke the jaw of Fremantle rookie Andrew Brayshaw, the younger brother of Demons midfielder Angus.
His shocking brain-fade has created a potentially awkward situation for the Demons given they are favourites to snare the Eagles midfielder should he opt to exercise his rights as a restricted free agent at the end of the season.
Angus Brayshaw, who recently signed a four-year contract extension with the Demons, said the family had no intention to pursue criminal charges against Gaff.
But he expressed outrage about the incident.
