People dont even know what a dive is, its no - very little contact. He got a clear bump and didnt brace!

    I don’t think it should’ve been a free kick but at the same time he didn’t dive, he just wasn’t braced for it and it was heavy enough to knock him to the ground. 

    Umpires justneed to get in there and say to all players straight away, next person who does something stupid will have a free kick paid against. 

    I kinda like that we have a bit of hatred towards us though, for so long people kept patting us on our back and saying “good for you” if we won a game. It was nauseating. 

    I like hearing opposition fans say, “wow they’re actually really hard at it and kinda dirty”, no more bruise free footy!

    His attitude, and his handball skills are very Greg Williams like.  I like it!

    The maggots don't need to say anything - just blow the whistle and pay the free.  The players (should) know the rules.

    Just like when there is a ruck contest the maggots prattle on "no holding, no holding" as if the ruck men don't know the rule.  Just pay the bloody free!

    Whilst I am on the subject, they also need to pay some frees (and if it is for us or against us doesn't really matter as long as it evens up eventually) with all this punching, grabbing around the neck, and elbowing even before the game starts .... just pay a free ... no warnings. .... Nike_just do it.

    Maybe, but by comparison Williams was slow and unathletic, and his hand balling was never quite up to Clarrie's standard :-)

    I get what you’re saying but for the bump on Oliver it just seems to harsh to pay a direct free kick, 9/10 he wouldn’t go down for it and it would be play on. 

    The player gets punished because the player getting bumped is off balance.

    Dunno, if Clarry ends up with two Brownlows, a flag and a Normie I reckon it's a good comparison that he'd live with, slow and unathletic notwithstanding!

    I think he's just annoyed that Viney has been called the 'Selwood of the next decade', it is disrespectful to Viney, so Oliver is taking some of the heat. Watch for him to start ducking this week! ?

    Spoke to Clayton for 5 minutes at the Casey match on Saturday and was telling him my lad and I were driving back to Adelaide after the match after making the trip for both finals so far.

    Clayton "So are you coming to Perth?"

    Me "Probably not, I'm going to save my coin for the week after" <cheekily>

    Clayton "Great idea! Don't stress - We got this! See you in a couple of weeks" <with some serious confidence>

    I don't like Clarry..... I LOVE HIM! :D

    Well don't stick your hands out and push a champion player like Clarry OR HE WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO FRUSTRATE AND GET ONE ON YOU. 

    He doesn't like to come second to anyone and anything because he is a winner and l hope it rubs of on all our team. Go Dees!

    The good thing is I don’t think this is spin, I really think he doesn’t give a toss at all. Bit like Matty Scarlett.

    If the umps pay frees for pushing and shoving outside of play, then whether the player shoved falls over or not would be irrelevant, so it wouldn't matter if the pushed player was off balance or even faked falling over.  It's the uneccessary contact that is paid.

    Anyone who has done a bit of boxing or indeed been confronted by some aggressive drunk should know that if your opponent has a parallel  stance instead of a spread/ braced stance they are at a disadvantage. Clayton doesn't dive he has been in the wrong stance when shoved thus ending up on his back. A free should be paid for putting a player on their back off the ball. If you are too dumb to recognise the player is  not braced then that is the perpetrators problem.

    I dont give a [censored], but again, why is there media focus on something a Melbourne players does, when guys like Duckwood & Dangerflop do it several times a game? 

    Same as the Melbourne "can't beat top 8 side" crap while the filth go 14/14 vs bottom 10 sides and 1/7 vs the rest, with that 1 being us

    For the same reason Kim Kardashian photographs her own arse and posts it on Twitter.

    lol. how one-eyed can supporters be? Of course he dived. 

    I dont think so. The contact was there. He just let it happen. He could have braced.

    You dont know the difference ? Lol.

    No mention of Burgoyne or Gunston for exaggerating  contact  on the below the knee frees?

    What about Selwood grabbing his forehead when viney hit him in the chest?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
