Seems Archer was at least 5 metres away before Dogs player got hands to the ball, then Dogs player pushed in the back by another Roos players making him slide down and forward towards Archer. Archer seems a tad too late to the contest and with too much momentum braces for impact to draw a free as his only option. His knees hit Dogs player's head unfortunately. 

A difficult one and I stand to be corrected, but Archer appeared to get up and walk away after the incident, without showing any immediate concern for the concussed Bulldogs’ player. A North team mate did however.

That is disappointing if correct.

    Archer’s 3 weeks upheld.

    I’d suspect Fritsch will sleep well this week.

    As long as he stops sleeping during the match.

    If Archer had his leg broken would the outcome be the same?

    I very much doubt it

    I hope Archer learned his lesson from this. Ignore what your dad taught you. Don’t attack the contest hard

    And if a bloke gets pushed in the back and almost breaks your legs, try to run away and don’t get hit

    The MRO and AFL continues to be a laughing stock

    Speaking of which and veering off topic for a moment (I think it's justified) ...

    Can anyone honestly swear that having an ex Collingwood player as MRO passes the pub test?

    Unbelievable that Lobb didn’t get weeks

    How is Archer feeling?

    I honestly feel that it shouldn't be a role someone stays in for more than 3 years in any case. But Michael Christian does feel like he has favourites and takes others down harder. 

    I can't work out the Archer decision, if the dogs player stays on his feet then it's just another contest, but because he gets a push in the back and falls to ground Archer gets punished for what I can see as an unavoidable collision. And yet Maynards was a "football act".

    Lobby knew what he was doing.  And the Fox crew reckon it was just an accident!!  

    But because it was a filth player who has done his fair share of sniping himself, he got his right whack

    Lobb should’ve been suspended. I don’t care if it was a Collingwood player or some bloke from Nar Nar Goon’s seconds. That was not an accident.

    this was pretty much my take on it

    he punched him in the face

    i mean, someone needed to, sure, but it was as deliberate an accident as you could wish to see

    I mean it's a pretty clear conflict of interest if ever there was

    Relax @biggestred, at some point the AFL will hold an internal review.

    • 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.
