    The Houston v Pickett comparison isn’t really to the point. Both bumped, both went high, one got concussed (Pickett - 3 weeks), one didn’t (Houston - 2 weeks).

    But it’s fair to ask why Archer gets 3 whilst Houston only gets 2.

    You answered your own post, concussion.

    But Archer's is a different offence, he didn't elect to bump like Houston and Pickett did.

    He was suspended on the injury result and if it wasn’t concussion, might have got off.

    I know.

    I'm trying to say the box ticking matrix system doesn't work when Archer gets 3 but Houston gets 2.

    • 3 weeks later...

    If Kozzie deserved three weeks for brushing Moore’s head when he dived, Nash should get 10-12 weeks for his brutal assault on Miers.

    The experts are saying 3-4 weeks. I can’t believe it.

    Whilst at the time I thought Pickett was unlucky to get the three, noting the outcome, calling Nash’s action a ‘brutal assault’ deserving of ‘10 - 12’ is hilarious and frankly pretty embarrassing.

    *incorrectly thought Pickett was done for intentional, severe and high.

    Will be an interesting story to follow.

    Bumps during play are influenced by split second changes in movement and with devastating results.

    This was completely pre-meditated and violent in its intent.

    I would hope it’s 5-6 to send a proper message but it’s probably going to be brushed aside as a 3 week suspension

    2nd incident like this, this year where a Hawks player has round armed an opponent. I think Scrimshaw got 3 or 4 weeks for hitting Ridley.

    They have form under Mitchell. Wonder if he has instructed them to make players earn it.

    if Nash gets three, North Melbourne should go nuts in the media. Nuts. Because Nash getting the same punishment as Archer is a disgrace.

    and the same as Kozzie. No consistency, playing favourites. The system stinks.

    AFL website;

    "Nash tried to make a physical impact on the contest when Miers had the ball, but his arm stayed high and collected his opponent in the head.

    The incident, which left the Geelong dynamo staggering from the field, has been graded careless, severe impact and high contact."

    Nash did not put his body into the contest. He can be seen doing a cute little 'oh my, a football' dance right after smashing Miers.

    Miers did not have possession of the ball.

    Nash's arm did not 'stay high', It was swung to go high.

    Miers did not 'stagger from the field', he was immediately knocked out and into the highest-alarm 'fencer pose', and after regaining consciousness was assisted from field by two trainers.

    Aside from that, a very accurate summary.

    I'm also curious about the definitional boundaries of 'I intentionally smashed him, but was careless in that it resulted in him being smashed'.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
