People don't seem to realise, the club or Oliver did not charge schofield the umpire did. The club or Oliver didn't decide the penalty the MRP did. The club only needs to concentrate on one thing - THIS  WEEKS GAME

Let's stop focussing on Clarrie. Let's have a closer look at the sniper who hit him. Will Schofield. Stats for the game 3 kicks & 3 HB, DE a mighty 50%. He only had 3 effective possessions th

I'm actually finding it really hard to get over the fact that a 19 year old kid was hit and people are treating him like he's the one who did something wrong. It's just so awful.

It disturbs me that people are more concerned with how a victim acted as opposed to what the perpetrator did.

Surely even a graze to the lip or gum would have to be evidence of "low impact" at least, and further the absence of a graze would not be evidence of no impact at all  

Are they trying to establish that there was no impact as he was charged with low impact?  Surely that could be their only defense*, and that would involve accusing not only Clayton of staging but also the doctor of lying.  

*or are they trying to establish a new level between zero and low?  Maybe half a game so he can come on at half time next week? Knowing the vagaries of the MRP wouldn't put it past them. 

Reminds me of creationists views when a new fossil is found to dismiss evolution (notice how its NOT a theory)... 'so now we have to find a link between THIS new fossil, and the most recent fossil discovered... god I hate monotheistic ignorance. god I hate the mrp.

He was keeling over immediately he was slugged by an elbow in the chin. Probably had his mouth guard out and he has teeth braces  and dug into his inner lip . Elbows are bloody hard . Who can say it didn't hurt ! Certainly not a computer jock!!! 

He is as hard as nails and certainly not a faker ! After all he is only 19 years old and got slugged unaware by some old fart washed up player who was frustrated by the way things were panning out

Local media in Perth really winding up on it as well.

Yep. I've just noticed that The West Australian website seems to have a new analysis on the "incident" every few hours, it's pathetic. The Eagles fans (including their #1 fan The West Australian newspaper) are a bunch of butthurt crybabies.

I even overheard someone in my office the other day that was raising their voice and butthurt about Clarry "diving". Good. It makes me even happier to see Eagles fans act this way (being a WA local). I bet if they won the game this wouldn't have even become an issue. It's just sour grapes at the end of the day...that's how they are...

Thanks adc

If I wasn't so lazy, I would have looked this up before asking. Apologies.


The Tribunal will sit at 5.30pm AEST on Tuesday night and AFL.com.au will run a live blog.

I will be following that live blog with great interest.

This could get very nasty for the kid - just remember Goodes. Not the same issue, but once the mob gets something in its tiny mind, it's hard to eliminate.

I hope it doesn't get nasty for Oliver, today at work for the second day running  another Essendon fan stated to me Oliver should audition for Home and Away and Neigbours. That made my blood boil, seems Melbourne supporters are fair game now also.

I can't imagine what's running through his mind with all the social media abuse but one thing I will say is , Oliver has 40 odd brothers in red and blue, 21 of them will run out with him Friday night and around 40,000 family members will be there to stand behind him as ONE!!!

The STAGE is set young man!!!

Knowing the state of corruption at AFL HQ, wouldn't be surprised if West Coast were given assurances that Schofield would be let off if they appealed. Makes no sense to risk it all for the sake of a one week ban.

Never forget that the only people who found Essendon not guilty of doping offences were the carefully handpicked AFL's Tribunal.

Yes agree, but the guy had only 3 disposals didnt he? Hardly an indispensable player these days.

Lol @ Oliver's latest Twitter profile photo.IMG_1098.jpg?dl=1

Provocative - Clarrie is playing with fire!

He should quit while he is ahead!

David Neitz is on the Tribunal so no fear of it being a kangaroo court staged by the AFL.

If it wasn't for Melbourne I would never follow AFL these days. The game has become a platform for whinging abusive cockheads, from players to commentators to the MRP. 

Yeah same. If it wasn't for Melbourne I wouldn't watch. I have been close to not watching anyway at times, and then I think of blokes like Viney busting a nut for the club, and I think I owe it to these guys to watch them.

I guess you could have responded that Essendon are a shoe-in for Australia's Next Top Chokers ...?

I've just read the " thoughts " of the posters to the North Melbourne big footy threads discussing Clayton Oliver.  Talk about drones. These North fans are so dull, it's comical. If you had an IQ  of 58, you'd be in the top 5% of posters there.

Good on Oliver for trolling the twitter flogs. Social media is just a toxic hate fest. Its good to see a player just take the p*ss out of it all, and troll the haters. Because that is all 99% of social media does - hate. It won't effect Oliver's game in the slightest.

Yeah thats exactly what i was thinking. Hes just a super talented kid starting his career. I would hate to see anything as pathetic and stupid as this overshadow it.

They had Brent Harvey at their club for 2 decades, so to their credit they would know exactly what a stager/diver/flopper/oscar nominee would look like. Seriously Harvey was the worst of the worst, I can remember numerous free kicks/50s being given from him falling from a feather touch. God I hated the little [censored].

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
