Correctly described; Cripps thwarted an otherwise perfectly legal attempt to kick the ball by Hunt. 

No malice. Poetic in a fashion perhaps. 

Media get something wrong ?never

That's mischief afoot.

Hyperbole as usual 'bub.

Total non issue IMO

Where's the hyperbole ?

Non issue....? Really...seems the AFL, the club and some fuckwlt would disagree. Clarry certainly did at the time.

Then he shouldn't be having a crack back at a fan during a game.  If he's big enough to play AFL, then he needs to have a thicker skin.

So he made a mistake reacting. I saw a 19 year old walk out alone to a doorstep press conference. I didn't see any club support. And it annoys me.

What did you want?  Mahoney rubbing his back while he did it?  Oliver can handle himself fine.  It's been dealt with and will be forgotten.  The club are far more professional than just thrusting him into the spotlight without having discussions with him first.

Sorry but I still dont see how you can lay your hands on a player.....yeah lets move on, but I hope this isnt setting a precedent for another incident some day in the future to another player.

Exactly. This has left a door open...

Wiseblood, I want a club official, media manager standing next to a nineteen year old player. I watched that press conference and they did try and trip him up.

How long until the media nuffies link 2 and 2 together and start blaming Clarrie for global warming?

The kid is on fire, surely the heat he's creating is causing the rising temperatures!

And I've heard he's heading up Apex (which previously had a no-ranga policy)

I just can't make sense of this one. I would think the club would at least say something about supporters not touching players?! Come on!

Yes we want to move onto next week, but we need to defend our players on these issues.

Yeah...well done MFC

Clarry hung out to dry ....again.

Still, makes a change from being thrown under the bus.

Some of you would do well in politics....all about the spin isnt it.:huh:

All running with hares and hunting with hounds !!

Only MELBOURNE continually rolls over. Very poor image.

I am sure the original MFC committee members did just that in Jolimont Park, before the MCC fenced it in.

It was Hunt, but I am sure Oliver will be asked to apologise anyway.

They would not have put him in front of the media to answer questions if he wasn't comfortable with it. 

Likely it was his idea.

Just saw the clip on talking footy when he did a little media conference. Maybe give him some media training. On talking footy they said his story changed a few times and there was a threat then there was no threat and when they asked him today if there was a threat he looked over obviously at the media manager as if to say help me. The delay didnt look great. 

Anyway Clayton dont worry you are playing great footy. Just focus on adelaide next week.

Spot on. He should never have been put out there, whether he wanted to or not.

Yes spot on and it will happen again, very poor from both clubs and the AFL. Just wait and see when some moron has a few too many and a player gets hurt. I always thought if you touch a player when he is on the field it's a fine; but what do i know?

You are very easily disappointed.  Regardless of what was said, Clarry doesn't need to bite back.  The AFL may well have asked the club to apologise, which they did, and now we move on.  Why we need to be upset about it is beyond me.

Come on Wiseblood, this is garbage. A number of times this year, the club has absolutely squibbed it in standing up for its players. This is by far the worst example,unless we're going to pay the moron compensation and take it out of Clarrie's match payments. For the second time in a few weeks, they've completely hung Clarrie out to dry without a peep. It's out and out pathetic.

Player pushed towards the fence gets shoved by a spectator. And that's OK? Every other club in the AFL - in fact, every sporting club in Australia - wouldn't tolerate their player being manhandled by a spectator in the course of the game.

It may have been his idea Nasher but it did not play out well. I just think the club needed to shield him more. That bloke was a fame hungry moron....who wins.

Why wasn't Cripps reported for tripping?

Wholeheartedly agree. There's what can be said behind closed doors but i feel the public perception of a club sticking fat is important. 

The silence is deafening.

Shoved?  Laughable.  Surely you don't believe he was shoved...?  I've seen the vision numerous times and at no stage have I thought he was shoved.

And how do we know it hasn't been tolerated?  How do we know that the wheels aren't turning behind closed doors and there will be further outcomes from this?  Right now, we don't.  The best thing for the club to do is to get on the front foot and get passed it as quickly as we can.

The club can kick, scream, yell and do whatever... but it means little and won't change a thing.  And our players are never hung out to dry - just watch the Goodwin presser from the weekend to see the standards and culture he wants to drive and you'll have zero doubt that we're in good hands.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
