Oliver accepted a $1500 penalty for something that happened with Jacobs.

I didn't see it - anyone know?

ps - should have been given a bonus of $1500....

    I didn't see it either.

    Here is the link to the article (spoiler alert; no further information): https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-match-review-panel-robbie-gray-offered-oneweek-suspension-for-bump-on-jeremy-mcgovern/news-story/4998197c378cd748b0ae7e37ae790c77

    Is he still eligible for the Brownlow?

    Was Jacobs tagging him? Probably a cheeky jabs to the guts or something similar.

    Jacobs  tags very close and plays dirty, sneaky because he lacks skill. However,  whatever  Clarry did to deserve a $1500 misconduct, good on him.

    l hope Jacobs copped his right wack from Clarry.

    He's going to have to be careful in the future - these hard tags will come his way more and more and he'll need to learn to keep his temper in check and not get himself in to trouble.  He's too valuable to the team to be doing that.

    I was actually worried Salem (yet again) might have had a case to answer for in the 3rd qtr.

    Gave a free kick away with an elbow to the head after a centre bounce but he was in possession of the ball.

    An AFLW player copped a week for something similar recently.

    Starting to get the feeling that Clarry might not poll a whole lot of Brownlow votes over his career...

    He's a feisty little mongrel.

    The AFLW played jumped up and put the elbow out prior to being tackled. Salem was bracing for contact and had the North player run in to his elbow, it shouldn't have been a free kick.

    Like others have said I like the feistiness and the mongrel but he has to learn to keep his temper in check. I'm more worried that these hard tags will be increasingly used to put him off his game.

    More information from here: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-02-26/match-review-jlt-community-series-round-one

    Clayton Oliver, Melbourne, has been charged with misconduct against Ben Jacobs, North Melbourne, during the first quarter of Saturday’s JLT match between Melbourne and North Melbourne, played at Hobart on Saturday February 24, 2018.

    In summary, he can accept a $1500 sanction without appearing before the Tribunal.

    Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the North Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as misconduct. A first offence for misconduct draws a $2500 sanction at the discretion of the Match Review Officer. The player can accept a $1500 sanction with an early plea.

    Agreed. It should not have been a free kick.

    I disagree. High contact is high contact. 

    Correct call IMO.

    If Salem was on the other end we would've been screaming blue murder that he didn't get a free.

    I only scream blue murder when the stakes are high.

  • Quote

    A player remains eligible for the Brownlow Medal under the following circumstances:

    • if he is suspended during the finals or pre-season;
    • if he serves a suspension in the current season which was earned for an offence committed late in the previous season;
    • he receives any sort of club-imposed suspension which is not recognised by the AFL Tribunal;
    • if he is found guilty by the AFL Tribunal of an offence which attracts only a financial penalty.

    I hope we'd get rid of all high contact being a free, it's lazy umpiring. So often the duckers are rewarded. There was a few nice occasions both ways on Saturday when the umps yelled 'play on ducked' and even an holding the ball against a North ducker. In this case Salem had the ball, a high fend is a free kick, but I don't think that's what Salem did. What he did was the equivalent of a forward raising a knee in a marking contest which I'm fine with. If in doubt, I'd always lean towards the guy with the ball rather than a tackler.

    I love that he's an angry kid, but he needs to really learn to control how he reacts to taggers, because the least helpful thing he can do for the team is get suspended. 

    We need him in the side, and he should take tagging as flattery and another challenge he needs to overcome, not as an excuses to release his frustrations.

    He is treading a fine line, and until he gains Hodge like status, the MRP and umpires will continue to punish him for every little indiscretion.

    He needs to win the Brownlow first then he can go around chicken winging, elbowing and eye gouging people without repercussions

    He was still the highest possession winning midfielder on the ground.  He may not be worth the trouble of tagging if he keeps racking up the stats like that...

    True, but they'll send someone just to get under his skin if they see him losing his temper when he's tagged.  But yes, hopefully a tag means little and they give up on it once they realise he still has a big influence on the game regardless.

  • Quote

    But what did he do that was deemed to be 'misconduct'?   Very odd that the MRP doesn't say what the incident was.

    'Misconduct'.  Maybe it is a new catch-all charge when they want to fine somebody! 

    He needs to watch out.  Two or Three fines like that and he gets a week on the bench.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
