To my eyes this is so much more violent and intentional than the Kozzy/Moore incident and yet both are 3 games…

Just so inconsistent.

Surely we have all been around long enough to never expect any consistency or fairness in the adjudications of the MRO and or tribunal.  
Zero comparison between a head high round arm causing concussion and a low dive taking the legs that should have been a free to Koz.   Zero comparison at all 

 

So Jackson archer got hit with a 3 match ban, it was a footy accident. 

I just feel like now we are judging the outcome of the the injured player now.

what're the chances that both johnson and chandler cop suspensions?

Can’t remember the Chandler one, but AJ was a good hard tackle with only a bit of slam in it. Once the gws player was done milking their free they were fine, would be surprised if it’s more than a fine

Without being hard on Chin how did he go today? May be possibly the only way he may miss out. 
pS I haven’t seen the replay today Will at home on Tuesday after I get back from my trip.

Chandlers opponent milked it by jumping up in a superman style dive with the tackle. Players are learning all sorts of dangerous ways to win the dangerous tackle free kick!

Agreed

The bloke slipped and took Archer out!

How Archer is in any trouble at all baffles me

A bit like Kozzie, Moore slipped and he made contact.

Having said that, he (Koz) elected to bump and Moore got concussion. I don't think three weeks was warranted for either. Both were clearly accidents caused by the oppo player.

100% fact …he did NOT get a concussion. 💯

when will these ludicrous decisions change?

Should Archer not attack the footy hard next time?

North appealing the Archer verdict, as they should

Not sure what basis they think they can challenge that. Chose to bump and got him in the head.

Lucky he wasn't concussed or it would've been 3 +

Surely that is exactly what the “below the knees free kick” is all about.  Archer totally innocent.

Seems like AJ and Chin escaped the scrutiny of the MRO?

They did appear to be single motions, where the momentum of the player contributed more to the dumping action that the player itself.

I don’t think l would mention possible indiscretions on this forum and give them any sort of weight. Let the AFL find em.

The Monday report in the past usually came out at 5pm or so.

The Chandler one should be left as a free kick. Didn't look much in it.

The AJ one had a bit more beef to it, so that may be a border line suspension, but should get a fine as his opponent wasn't hurt.

Yep. Absurd. Lynch is as much of a recidivist as Koz, if not worse. That’s IMO a textbook suspension for a high bump. 

The Archer one is way more complicated though. 

I'm fine with Archer getting weeks. Cleary didn't slide and simply won the ball. Some contributory negligence by the other North player though.

I dont think it was a footy accident. It looked completely reckless to me. He was never going to be first to the ball and just barreled into him

I thought Taylor's dive over the ball to take out Petty's legs was bad as well
