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!

  • Quote

    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: 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
