    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
