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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Expand  

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.

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.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
