Clayton Oliver incident

[McQueen 17,867]

One of the best things about our game is the atmosphere it creates with good size crowds and close games. The AFL need to drive this toward an abrupt end asap.

I would loathe the day a six foot high fence is built around the boundary or the first 2 or 3 existing rows are removed.

[jules7 801]

Unbelievable, AFL need to provide a safe work place for all their players!

[monoccular 17,697]

The club 'culture' is at a new high: an apology for this would dent this badly.

Instead we need to get on the front foot and demand an apology from him, and from MCC and security for not evicting him immediately.

To allow contact through the media is madness not to mention bringing my employer into it.

Some employers I know would sack you for mentioning it in a non-employment context.

Mine can and will. I won't even make a positive comment about my mob on social media so gung ho are they about it. If that was me yesterday I'd be receiving a DCM telegram about now (do we still have telegrams?)

Rewatched the video.  The bloke clearly puts his hands over the fence and puts one or both hands into Oliver's chest.

Spectator should be banned.

What the fan did was disgusting and he should be banned from attending any AFL games, however in terms of where the attention goes it will always be against Oliver so he does himself no favours.

I don't disagree, but if that supporter said something racist to Jetta and Jetta got stuck into him, would we have the same reaction?

Using a disgusting word like c*** at the footy, when there are kids watching, and yelling it directly at a player that got pushed towards the boundary line is as just bad. Players have the right not to cop it from low life scumbags, and you can imagine Oliver's reaction was a split second thing. 

Besides, if you lay a hand on a player, you are fair game. That is so not OK. I was sitting right about the incident on level 2, and I was shocked he wasn't evicted. 

I don't think Lewis would have reacted the same, but he has 10 years on Oliver, but to be fair so do I, and I would have told him to shut the f up and eat another donut.

Stereotypical big mouthed w@nker Carlton supporter

Is that the 15 minutes you really want?

Just read Lewis comment:

Former Hawthorn premiership player Lewis said players had to accept that there were few limits on what fans could throw at them.

"I think anything racial, and anything like that is clearly out of bounds - other than that, they can say what they want," he said.

"It's part of the game. You just laugh it off."

 

Not sure I agree. What about if you get called a [censored] or mental case. This guy didn't call Clayton Fanta pants ...its been said he called him a weak Cu6t.

Pretty hard not to respond. He probably should have ignored it but it the heat of the moment how many of us would?. Probably not Jordan in his salad days himself to be fair.

 

The fan had a big mouth and Oliver responded. Its no biggy. Seen it b4 and it will see it again.

That mark on the 50 line in the last 5 minutes shows that hes not weak. Love the guy.

Yep, clear as day.

C'mon, Dill. Time to support the players and not Neanderthal supporters.

[Demon trucker 1,800]

Anyone that has vero make a complaint and say you will leave them if this rep of their company is abusing afl players and trying to make contact with players

[DubDee 26,395]

Straight to the Tribunal! He walked at a fan when verbally abused, give him 10 weeks!

What the F!?

There's how the club publicly deals with the matter and how they privately deal with it.

Publicly, the club should be focusing entirely on why the fan stood up to reach over, touch Oliver and abuse him. Furthermore, they should be asking the MCC why he wasn't immediately removed from the stadium. Lewis' comments were poor and did not support Oliver at all.

Privately, they should be saying that yes what happened to you was wrong (see above) but you need to keep your outbursts to yourself because they don't actually help the situation.

This is the money shot, the man clearly reaches over to touch him, this should see him being banned from attending all AFL games.

Forgot about that mark!. Shows everything about Clarrie.....fearless, confident, and incredibly sure-handed. One grab, unsighted, back with the flight. He's a freak. 

[dl4e 5,851]

What sort of deranged tossbag would want an apology. The MFC should tell this Carlscum fan to go and fornicate himself. It just beggars belief.

[Demon trucker 1,800]

I think everyone should contact our club and demand Carlton take actions of their members abusing players and touching them when they abuse them, players have been stabbed by fans at other sports

That's funny, my recollection is that Adam Goodes was widely vilified for his actions  and booed all game every game afterwards.

And made Australian of the Year. Go Clarrie!

He should be thankful that it wasn't that AFL employed (up until last week) bloke Fahour who jumped into the crowd and thumped a spectator. AFL said nothing at the time because it wasn't camera or on the news.

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

Geez, when he can put a lightbulb in his mouth and light it up THEN I will take comparisons.

[John Lord 128]

Yet again a Melbourne player is the put into a situation were they are the victim but suddenly are the villain. Oliver was struck by Schofield but was labelled a diver and Schofield was allowed to walk with not even a fine. Now Oliver is verbally confronted by a person that should not be allowed to attend a match but now Ollie is at fault for standing up for himself. Enough is enough. It is time the club comes out on the front foot and demand that action ins taken against this so called supporter.

What is wrong with Carlton supporters. The language used in regards to Lewis was disgraceful and that was in the MCC section.  It was fitting that the final act that destroyed Carlton was orchestrated by Lewis himself.
