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.

call me old fashioned but i'd prefer players kept away from social media. it's like gambling, sooner or later you lose.

    The day will come when players contracts will stipulate players do not put football related stuff up on social media.

    Houli got two weeks. No way the tribunal will give schofield 2 weeks as well considering the impact on each hit player.

    Interesting repartee from Clayton... the conservative nature of me is that you shouldn't do it. There is clearly a vibe from him that 'he don't give a fark, who you are, what organisation you are from' - he don't mind taking the [censored]... and as Frenzal Rhomb once sang something akin to - He may be a c*** but at least he's not a firkin c***.

    He's a lad, he's a larrikin and whilst he needs to be schooled in social media responsibilities - he actually is NOT being even slightly offensive to anyone.   

    Sigh...maybe its just a generational thing... I believe my father loved Peter Paul and Mary, and they were the antichrist to someone born in the 1920's

    Schofield arguing insufficient force to be reportable. To prove that that need to say the medical report was wrong or clarrie exaggerated his symptoms to the doc. Game on.

    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.

    They barrack for North, clear thinking and intelligence is obviously not their strong point.

    Can't see how Schofield can plead not guilty to striking when his lawyer agrees it was intentional and high contact (but negligible force).

    They're calling the umpire a liar and showing pictures on his phone that apparently show the umpire looking elsewhere.

    All sounds pretty seedy by the WCE lawyer...

    What's on the phone 

    "David Grace QC said Rosebury's eyes aren't looking at the incident, based on the photo. Rosebury said he was looking. Grace is trying to show the jury his phone.
    Grace has now presented his phone to the jury so they can see the phone".
     
    You would think a lawyer would have the photos printed out to a reasonable size and put on a screen rather than a phone of a few inches which has to be handed from one tribunal member to another.  Very cunning by lawyer!

    If he's speaking like this to the ump... clarry might be in for a bit of a battering.

    He's not there. Nor should he be

    They seem to trying everything, first the ump didn't see it, then it was a forearm and not an elbow, and now it was a push not a swing! No wonder lawyers have a bad name!

    Doesn't mean they can't talk about him.

    Their entire case rests on the notion that Oliver exaggerated the contact.

  • Quote

    Ah !!!

    the old self inflicted wound defence !!

    David Grace QC is saying there were two incidients. He said Oliver chased Schofield and Oliver's right side of his face struck Schofield's spine, and that caused Oliver's pain.

    Understand your point. But Clayton is clearly defending his position. 

    He believes he got hit and didn't dive, he hasn't gone on a Sunday morning bender and written stuff he would later regret.

    At least our Doc is a bit more honest with his assessment than the Carlton Docs. Painful jaw, no treatment, no training or games to be missed.

    I would not have thought that virtually calling the umpire a liar would be taken very well by the Tribunal. Surely this tactic if successful, undermines the umpires authority.

    LMAO!!!

    It seems David Grace's go to defence is 'we don't know what we did but it wasn't what it looks, in fact it is everyone else's fault' though he would have learnt with Essendon, then again the AFL let them off!

    • 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.

    • 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.
