What a dog act.

Yes there are 2 sides to every story but the fact is Archer resorted to punching a junior level umpire in the face.

My son plays afl in NSW and  is 12 years old. I would hate him to see such a dog act.

ps sorry about the grammar in the title, I could not work out how to change it.

Archer's got $2,900 sitting in his car ashtray.

Disgracefully light penalty for someone who should know better (even though he's a thug) and is a wealthy man. 

 

Game in the division below mine for the same age group, can't comprehend how bad a call could be that would've caused him to jump the fence and assault the runner... Especially when his sons team was 10 goals up!


What exactly have the Archers of Glen done?

I'm outraged!!

It seems this view is shared by Mr. Archer Ethan.

According to today's "Rage", Archer described the judgement as "crazy" and claims he was judged on only "three per cent of the story".

Poor dear.

I appreciate the sentiment but dogs are great: loyal, friendly, funny and empathetic so how about you find a new descriptor for appalling behaviour.

(BTW your son plays Australian Rules football, not AFL. It's a personal hate of mine. I like our indigenous game to be known by its origins, not by a competition that we all happen to follow.)

My 2 boys played junior footy some years back and I reckon you see the worst behaviour by adults at a footy match. So many people have to take out their life frustrations watching 10 year olds play footy.


Without knowing the full story, or watching the 'face-slap video', I would back Glenn Archer as a decent human being any day of the week.

Leopards don't changes their spots.  Likewise, angels don't grow horns.

Two sides to every story.  I'm sticking fat with Archer.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
