    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.

    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'.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
