why? supporters abuse players every game

still.....i'd like to know what the mug said before passing final judgement

I think it's a safe bet that the spectator comment would have been on the subject of diving... Oliver maybe offered to give him a first hand experience?

talk about  a non issue/ I 

Couldnt agree more. Hope they back him up this time.  Fans leaning over the fence like that need to pull there head in. Oliver should have walked away but  fair dinkum, taking it to the media...weak as [censored]. God I hate Carlton. 

"God I hate Carlton"... hehe... I'm starting to love Carlton; the way we just take the 4 points away from them so neatly... Bruise free footy.

He is 19.. I wonder what you were doing at that age??? 

At 19 I yelled some very unkind words over the fence at Warrick Capper and that footage made the news. I wasn't to know it at the time but it was my 15 seconds of fame. I sort of regret it. Sort of

[KLV 1,772]

He's 19, and plays tough, uncompromising footy, how would anyone expect him to react? A considered response? Turning the other cheek?  

We all love his spirit, he'll mature, but really atm, he's a kid

Ok who has some stem cells for Clearly this week?

Ethan, now you are just being a peanut!  ;-)

As goody said "Clayton wasn't going to react like that for no reason"

For real? wow how long were you in for, and how did you escape?

Two nights only. The guards stole my watch and smoked my durries in front of me. Luckily my big boss sorted it out before I attempted an escape. 

I dislike Carlton and their supporters more than those guards now.

[deebug 1,754]

Next time maybe you should throw and almond nut? 

Not to worry Ethan i will gladly bake you a cake with a little something extra If it ever happens again.

Was your big boss Jimmy Carter?

Sorry i didn't mean to put Watts in that sentence.

Let's not give this any oxygen.

The Carlton guy was plainly some simpleton masquerading as a tough guy behind the safety of the fence.

He should be banned for a few games. And that should be the end of it.

I'm not sure a hash cake would help his cause deebug

Well to watch the media hoolabaloo over this will be amazing. Nothing in this but I can see the likes of Robinson carrying on with his usual sanctimonius arrogance.

[dees189227 12,541]

Love how goody has come out and defended him which you would expect a coach to do. But this guy wouldnt say it to him on the street. But as I said previously as if Oliver would do anything.

 I had a Carlton fan near me have a crack at Oliver for falling down easily and also at Lewis. 

Oliver doesnt need to put up with that but he also needs to realise dont waste time or energy on people like that.

Vince took a ridiculous dive today, something he does regularly in the attempt to get a free kick..Yet nothing gets spoken about..

I can't for the life of me understand the hysteria behind Oliver's "incident" versus West Coast...

The only thing I can pin it to, is that Oliver is getting under the skin of opposition supporters due to his playing ability. They wish they had him, yet he is a "diver" and they claim they wouldn't want him playing for their club on this basis alone!

What an absolute pisser...

disagree.

Media will discuss this n they will protect the player. their spin is the fan deserved what he got.

Gutless peanut over the fence.

Clayton shouldn't have overreacted but move on.

"Delayed concussion", a condition unique to Carlton, from round 2

Doubt the kid would have made the transition he has since his draft year if he didn't have a bit of competitive chutzpah.

Stereotypical big mouthed w@nker Carlton supporter

Notice the lowered brow, puzzled look and gaping mouth. Here we witness a chimpanzee masquerading as a human being.

Taken from one of the facebook groups:

If he told him to go hose his concrete back yard then he gets 10/10 for great humour although some po faced PC types will no doubt freak out at him for offending the Carlton supporter's safe space. These are the times we're living in.

[Lucifers Hero 40,756]

In the video his mate's hand is in front of the guy having a go at Clarrie, virtually saying 'steady on mate'.  There is also a lack of reaction from others.  They are having a laugh and sit down as as Clarrie calmly runs off.  So oubt what Clarrie said was really bad let alone threatening.  Also on the video, the umpire is right behind Clarrie.

Just more media histrionics.

 

As an aside, Goodwin didn't sound too happy about the working over Clarrie got from Carlton players.  Maybe the media should write up how they went after Clarrie who got no protection whatsoever from the umpires. 

The media are just stupid people who like the sound of their own voices.

Absolutely! I love when people suggest Carrie is soft. The kid is 19 he'd be winning our best and fairest by a mile, and we are looking a decent top 4 chance. Has had 28 contested possessions in he last two weeks and isn't without a chance of taking home the Brownlow/ all Australian in his second year. 

But the media want to focus on a couple of silly incidents, rather than what could be one of the best second years from a young player in a very long time.

No doubt the gutless plick made a comment to Clarry that was offensive enough to cause a reaction from the young fella. Good on him for not copping it either.  He's not paid to be the target of abuse from clockheads like that goose.

 It would have been interesting to see the security response had it been Nev or Jeffy that the idiot abused.

Far from it PD. Did you see the size of him? Too much pasta, I'd say

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

The club must be real strong on this. Back our boy. Get the facts out. He called him a ducking diving [censored] or whatever he said, Clarrie has had enough. He has been trolled online. Smacked by the media. He needs support from Goodwin. This peanut should be the one copping flack. Let's flip the script MFC
