Not guilty

Not guilty

Not guilty!

Now watch the media hyena pack go to town on Clarry.  Facts irrelevant. Sickening!!

Sharpen elbows then

Not Guilty. Unbelievable, after all the media interference. ..

Wasted 3 hours following the tribunal, I could have watched the replay.

Weak kneed chickenshit tribunal.

Sanity reigns. I'd be as filthy as WC fans if he was guilty.

Oh well, elbows up boys, the AFL say it is fine!

Hope that's the end of it, but I doubt it too many keyboard warriors 

Finally some common sense, let's just drop this crap and get on with Friday night.

Here we go.

Media will now call Oliver a faker and our doctor a liar.

Well the thing is he was charged by the umpire,Clarry had nothing to do with it.

Yup, might go down to the supermarket and try it out in the morning...

Why the he'll should he be not guilty. He elbowed a player on the chin behind play. No matter how much contact that should a suspension. Once again the AFL are the laughing stock

Same here, because if I was a WC fan I'd probably also be a boorish oaf.

Thats right. Im as confused as anyone. A jumper punch is not ok, but an elbow to the head off the play is?

Look the sad part about this is that it will bring Oliver's honour into question, which could overshadow an incredible year from him so far. 

Ultimately I don't think there was enough force to warrant a 1 match ban and certainly not a 2 match ban. I would've thought if they gave him fine they would've just copped it and all parties could save face from it, Clary gets vindicated that he copped a knock, Schofield gets reprimanded and the media moves on. 

This really turned into a circus. 

The boys will really need to get around Clarrie on Friday night. The swans will use this to try and put him off his game. He could be a match winner and it will start from before the bounce. I would start him on the bench and bring him in asap after the first bounce. 

It's already blown up on Twitter, Obviously means Oliver should be charged for diving etc etc. Infuriating 

I think the tribunal painted themselves into a corner by giving houli only 2 weeks, imagine the uproar if they had the same penalty so he was always going to get off, AFL Hands all over this 1

Maybe they can try elbowing him in the mouth to try and put him off his game.  Apparently it's legal now.

I am bloody ropable about this.  I hope the club is too.

Lol. Spoken like a true MFC supporter.

Do you reckon he should have gotten weeks? I reckon the fact he didn't go for weeks means Clarry's reputation has been spared.

Yes.  He elbowed a player in the mouth.  He clearly did that - surely that has never been in dispute.
