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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ...?

    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.

    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.

    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].

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
