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

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
