The way this has triggered the Norfies as the AFL’s proudest victims is beyond hilarious.

Cleary assaulted Archer’s legs:

The Tribunal would have suspended Lindsay Thomas for what Luke Cleary did, even though the Tribunal overturned Lindsay Thomas’ suspension when he broke Gary Rohan’s leg by sliding into Rohan (who was closer to the ball than Thomas):

The AFL promised Andrew Brayshaw’s mum they wouldn’t suspend Archer. In this analogy, Cleary, who had the ball, is Maynard, who didn’t and was sprinting at the player with the ball, and Archer, who didn’t have the ball and was sprinting at the player with the ball, is Brayshaw, who had the ball:

Just needed to think for a second about the reason they changed the rule for smothers after Maynard:

Your duty of care only commences after you’ve idiotically sprinted 25m at a contest where you’re never getting the ball and suddenly realise you’re about to flying spear through two other players and then doing the absolute minimum and still smashing into them dangerously is exercising your duty of care:

Some of them come soooo close to actually getting it, so close:

But also this Tribunal decision is part of the AFL’s anti-Norf agenda since they didn’t move to the Gold Coast:

Ballsy call from Corey McKernan that Clarko needs to drop Harry Sheezel for being closer to the contest than Archer but not barrelling into everyone like a total moron:
