Wasn't it Carlton supporters a few years back smashing on the back of the oppositions bench desperate to attack an opposition player? This mob are ferals and have now been given a free pass, or that's how they'll see it. When next we meet them I can almost guarantee it will be ugly, and the blues banner will almost certainly incite them.

This is poor, poor form from the AFL.

Stating to see a pattern here... Go hard boys. Smash them all. We are going to be damned if we do and damned if we don't so lets get hung for the sheep. Make them bleed.

 

Oh, and AFL house must be destroyed.

Scott just said in afl360 that Melb and Oliver are the bigger men because they appologised first and blame is 50/50 with that moron.

It was AFL Tonight. Sarah Jones accidentally said Oliver kicked Cripps as Oliver was the next story. 

Simple mistake, like posting the name of the wrong show. 

Thanks, Nasher.

Does Clayton feel left out to dry? Doubt it

Do they need to publicly decry touching Clarrie - nope.

Only occupiers of Melbourne based forums get caught up in this...

This is a different MFC that does not get caught up in nor comment on extraneous vapid crap, rather than give it air and take away from the task of what they are ultimately aiming for.

Thank god for that.

This is very much the 'missing' element.

No accountability at all by the AFL about the spectator, none by that scummy club or any contrition by the fwit himself. Quite the opposite indeed as he supposesca sense of righteous indignation !! 

Poor show all around

Regardless of the outcome, the bloke is a deadset squealer:

Gerard Healy: 'A very sensitive 50-year old who abused an 18 year old, didn't like what came back and sooked to the authorities'

Oh that is sublime for Gerard

Just remembering now...the AFL take action against a young girl who abuses Adam Goodes. They take action against a Port supporter who abuses Eddie Betts. But in this instance, Clearance, is counselled and told to apologise after being abused. 

From a regulatory position, there seems to be a whole lot of inconsistency, so I guess if the fish rots from the head, no wonder the MRP etc etc etc etc

Is it any wonder at all 

Clarry shouldn't have put himself in that situation, but he is not 100% liable as the majority have made him out to be.

Sure educate him on how to better deal with such situations, but christ, i'm hoping behind closed doors the club have supported him 100% and left him in no doubt that they have his back,

We have more important things to worry about than this attention-[censored], starting with this week. Nonetheless, Clarry should have the clubs backing and know he has the clubs backing (i don't have to see it publicly, just hope it is being given).

clayton should have said "i'd like to apologise to the sook who abused me"

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.

It certainly won't set a precedent, because if this happens to a player from any other club, their club will be all over it like a rash before the dust settles. It will, however, make it more likely that it will happen again.

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? 

I am quite staggered that the AFL has done this. Clayton shouldn't have reacted the way he did, i get that. But for that little  madonna loving Carlscum turd to provoke it all, and then ask for an apology, and then get it,with no penalty to himself???

Wow  A player is going to really cop it at some stage, and it will be The AFL's fault

then they will build wire fences between the Stands and the Oval

Gill will remain silent

 

I stated my view early in this thread but I'll now refine it a little.

First. I've got no problem with a supporter giving it to an opposition player. Footy is a sport that titillates the emotions. To be honest I've demonstrated my vitriolic best toward both oppo players and umpires over the years.

Second. I've certainly got no problem with the player giving a bit back.

However, in life you must learn that it if you're prepared to dish it out be ready to cop it back.

And this it what shits me about this issue.

We now have a situation where a fat useless [censored] gets an apology and is made some sort of a victim/hero among his equally useless pizzant mates because he hasn't got the balls to take his whack.

What a weak [censored]. [censored] me, how does someone like that look his spineless self in the mirror.

Society is just becoming soft.

If he had not chased the ball he would have been called soft , so he was in a no win situation

melbourne just probably aplogised so the story is finished. Clayton probably wanted to apoligise or the club said to, for what he said. AFL arent doing anymore. Lets move on. 

But gee if every player reacted to what was said about them in the crowd then there would be confrontations every week. Lewis was right. Just got to ignore it. 

I just hope we can get through this week against the crows without any incidents. 

Like others in this thread, missed the point entirely. Clarrie lost his bottle because of being manhandled by a spectator, not because of what he said.

Can you recall any other player being pushed by a spectator during the game? 

Would love, incidentally, to have seen what Lewis would have done in the same situation. Turned the other cheek? Not.

clarry on tv interview tonight ch9 denied that he had threatened to kill........take what you will

Yes, but again the club hasn't stood up for him so again nobody will believe him.

Maybe, again, the club doesn't believe him. That's one comment I heard post-Schofield - "even the club doesn't believe he didn't dive, because they don't want to back him up."

I think it was afl tonight. They were talking about Crippps being injured. The footage shown  was when Hunt kicked someone I think Cripps in the back of the leg when going for ball. They said it was Clayton Oliver and the next segment was the incident on the boundary with you know who again.

They stuffed up said it was Oliver instead of HUnt.

Yeah but don't worry, "let's move on"

He"s a Madonna fan as well as being an attention seeking ugly [censored].

Thats why he's so totally hateable.

The club can move on but I need some time to abuse this poor excuse for a man.
