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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
