Oliver is no 'stager'!

Right so if one of the players walked up and did exactly the same thing to an umpire, then that would be fine?

    I note that the font of all knowledge, the HS, says the Eagle will be cleared due to insufficient force!

    Insufficient to KO him? Insufficient to break his jaw?

    A "gentle" elbow to the jaw is OK?  

    So all this BS from AFL HQ about punching and hitting being a blight on the game is just that, BS.

    We are not blaming the victim we are discussing if he exaggerated contact. Because let's be honest if the siren had not gone, we would be discussing if the victim was in fact a cheat .

    You are not serious are you?

    Can the AFL make itself look any more foolish ?? :wacko:

    (Well there is always next week I suppose, but for now they've reached the current zenith )

    I don't get this, didn't Clarry get elbowed in the jaw at half time, everybody seems to forget that Schofield elbowed him and connected.

    As for that [censored] Damien Martyn grow up and start acting your age.

    Fair dinkum just another cowboy from the Wild West.

    Schofield gets 2 down to 1.  Deemed intentional.  The right call IMV.

    So rubbish to all the media who tried to make it a Clayton story!

    The attention this gets annoys me after such a great come from behind win. Oliver had nothing to gain with the siren gone and no free kicks on offer. Secondly how about we place a bit of attention on the 27-16 free count in an even and tightly contested match. Go Dees

    I think the actions deserves a week but I reckon they might contest this one on lack of force.

    I think, as the frees were 11-11 at half time, the point is not the 27-16 full-game count, but the 16-5 second-half count.

    Lopsided free counts never create a PR problem for the AFL, so it doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest.

    Neither, it seems, does an intentional elbow to the face.

    What was his motivation for diving?

    Maybe he wanted a free during the half time break.  The reason they stage is for a free.

    Oh, lack of force as proven by the fact that Oliver is a diver I suppose.  What a load of crud. Looks like the MRP finally makes a right call and then I read that.

  • Quote

    Obviously the MRP considered it intentional and maybe now the clowns that heaped it on Clarrie will apologise, doubt it.

    Viney's incident was looked at, but thrown out as he had both arms outstretched and was competing for the ball.

    Last week I said you can hit a Melbourne player and get off. Now it appears you can elbow a Melbourne player and it is his fault for falling down.It has been claimed Clarry was staging for a free even when frees were not on offer due to this being after the siren. If Schofield had kept his elbow down the issue would not have happened. Who is the victim? Obviously Schofield. Maybe Clarry is soft and should take up playing cricket.

    John Lord ,good lord your as old as me.

    I remember as a kid getting in the rooms at half time seeing john lord having a smoke.

    Was listening to robbo on sen podcast, he had clarry in his dislikes and a caller rang up and said watch boxing as you can cop just a glancing blow on your chin and it can stun you to the point of falling over, it sort of changed Robbos mind on it, I bet he goes into bat for clarry on afl360 tonight bookmark it

    An Essendon supporter greeted me at work this morning by telling me Oliver needs to take a good hard look at himself.

    That caused the first twitch in my eye, I returned serve with the points you stated, Schofield being the real issue here and I couldn't care less if Oliver dived or did not. 

    His next response was, nah mate Schofield only did what Jones, Viney and Bugg have been doing all year. Well, that was enough for both eyes to start twitching, I had to stop my task immediately before a verbal spat ignited, found the smoking balcony and sucked down a quick Winnie Blue whilst jumping on Demonland to calm down.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
