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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
