Player Watch #34: Jackson Archer - suspended for 3 matches for "hit" on WBD player Cleary- charge upheld, Jacko suspended

[Frank Thring]

1. The afl is ****d I can’t believe this
2. I will NEVER watch a game again
3. The AFL is against us

4. See you all next week when we all watch the game

Well that escalated and then de-escalated quickly

 

[winalotroos]

There was one moment. Gee a lot of players had a moment didn’t they? The ball that could have been raffled between him and tucker. He needed to grab that ball.. resulted in a score against too.

• Arch not grabbing that ball and handballing it out.
• Colbys chest mark
• jys kicking
• comben clean bowled
• cams shots on goal
• Luke McDonald dumb 50
• Corr handballing it straight to the opposition
• midfielders not working hard enough defensively

Just too many to mention and the same ol mistakes from senior players.

I don’t agree with you much, all of the above are point on.

Jacko is going well. This should be thrown out.

The whole duty of care/ he didn't try to slow down drivel coming from some quarters defies evidence. Every single screen shot shows Arch's centre of gravity transferring back as he tries to pull up. The last shot is the most telling, there was nothing he could do whilst he tries to cushion the blow. Only in the wonderful world of the ATO could they give this a 3 game suspension. It has nothing to do with Archer, it is all about AFL optics being seen trying to 'prevent' concussion. -

DarkPhoenix is absolutely right.

Cleary was running at full tilt himself and picking up a ground ball while under pressure from behind.

We've watched our supposedly AFL level footballers repeatedly fall over under considerably less pressure and at less speed for the past half a decade, but this no name Bulldog with what? 20 games experience? should've been able to pick up the ball at pace like prime GAJ and just continue on? Particularly late in the game in those conditions - he was probably fairly spent.

Archer had every right to attack the contest. Cleary fell over in the process of gaining possession and there was no way for Arch to suddenly not collide in the way he did. It was a footy accident, that's all.

Watch it again, he drops to his knees before Konstanty tags him. The rest of your piece is guestimation. My point is not that he fumbled, or he is not like GAJ, my point is Clearys poor technique was the cause. Cleary also has the choice to slow, stop, tap the ball, turn his body, even cartwheel if he so desires, but, he chooses to dive forward onto the ball. He chose to do that. His decision making, and technique, in this situation, is poor.

Its even a free kick to Archer

They cant give him 3 weeks or else they are saying that rule doesn't exist

Comfortably a free kick for Archer.

 

[Only Forwards]

Whether overturned or not I love this kid.

I look forward to your judgement of our guys the very next time they try to take possession of the ball. What a shit take. I'd hope our guys take control of the ball.

That doesn't mean what Archer did was wrong.

He's not the one making the decision.

How can that be a shit take? Why is Archer responsible because a bloke fumbles and chooses to dive forward?? Shake your head mate.

True

Clueless mongrels

Joke!

 

[Kanga Glory]

Joke!

You watch a similar incident get nothing , most likely Collingwood, Carlton , Geelong or *

 

[Dinkers]

Geebus Christ, we just lost Rosco Glendinning for the next 3 weeks.

 

[sheridan]

not surprised AFL is a joke.
AFL needs to delete below knee rule as it no longer exists.

 

[winalotroos]

Joke!

This is so disappointing but not surprising the AFL having made it even more difficult to pay taking the legs out.
Let alone playing contested football
