By The Roar / Editor

The optics weren’t too good before and after Andrew Gaff’s practice shot on goal during training at Optus Stadium.

I'm more wanting to talk up the way AFL players contribute to brightening the lives of sick kids and their families than every stupid thing that happens at our clubs. The Nathan Wilson beat up that failed earlier this week is a case in point.

I knew that col, hence my reply, I'm not worried about this really, I'm certain you're not either mate. I can't resist a good bite like pretty well all of us.

If I am to be honest Mattician there was a little bit of bait in my comment to see if I could get a bite, but I thought that would be pretty easy to identify.

Yeah this sort of incident shows a seedy ugliness bubbling along that most pro units wouldn’t tolerate Col, Hi Vis jokes aside. They do indeed need to find a moral compass it seems though , in all fairness to what was the ugliest incident of 2018.

I just think the entire globe should stop referencing Frozen, that'll be nice. Although there is a Frozen 2 imminent. Oh god. Brayshaw's doing well, yeah. He should beat his big bro this weekend too!

Sorry col, history regarding the hi Vis issue has shown you take it quite seriously, I couldn't help but feel you where using something to raise another subject that you've been overly passionate about, pretty easy to identify imo.

I've nearly referenced frozen so many times dude, on plus side about brayshaw his tackling has been game changing the last two weeks, seems to be turning the corner from that 2nd year blues he was suffering.

Purely sarcasm AD. Pretty easy to identify in my opinion.

I thought there was a tinge of sarcasm in Col's comment, but I'm worried I'm wrong now...

About your feelings? Yes I highly doubt the Eagles care.

Cheers my man. In the words of the most infuriating movie of my 21 years, everyone needs to "Let it go, let it gooooooooo".

Ridiculous to try and bring these issues together col, C'mon mate lift your game.

I'd rather we focus on winning our fourth straight clash on Saturday, and let the Eagles focus on winning tonight, than dragging this story over the weekend until there's no oxygen left in the outrage... It was bad, Jonboy, but clearly the Eagles have realised and have apologised through multiple means. I didn't like the taunt, but honestly I'm appreciative of Gaff and Simpson's apologies. Water under the bridge time, my man.

Lecras has done more in the last two weeks than you, taking a stab at him considering what he did is low.

Heh, very good.

Very disrespectable to Brayshaw and his family. Maybe West Coast need to have some ‘player behavioural staff’ in hi-vis vests walking up and down the ground during training.
