It was graded careless? hilarious. the most obviously deliberate action

Archer is sitting at home for 3 weeks coz he attacked the ball and had a bloke crash into his legs

fkking joke

 

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.

Have another look.


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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
