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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
