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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
