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?

    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

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
