I don’t like you Clarry. I love you!

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

More a fall than a dive but Clarry was out there minding his own business and Mitchell ran at him from 10meters away and crashed into him for no reason 50m off the play.

Fork the hawthorn dogs ..... The free was there.

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

Agreed, Hawks players were flopping and diving all over the place on Friday, I guess the difference was Oliver got a free for the most part the Hawks flopping was ignored. Except Rougheads who lead with his head and acted as though he'd been kinghit before the goal in the last quarter

What about Roughead in the last qtr. Grabs the ball, stops running and gets carried to the ground for a free. Watch Reiwoldt if he gets under the ball he just stops running and any contact he goes to ground.

F#ck me thats just selective f#ck'n journalism. If Clarrie got half the frees of these so called superstars he'd be even better.

The number of times he had to go for the ball on Friday night with only one hand coz Shiels had hold of the other one and there was no free. They can all get f#cked, especially f#cking Richo, his Tiger mates are the worst. They've always got their hands in the air appealing for the free.

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?

He braces and bumps back and they keep niggling and getting stuck into him off the ball all game. He lets the bump knock him to the ground and he gets a free and they stop harassing him and he can play footy

Exactly. He wasn't involved in the play,  so went should he have to defend himself by bracing?

The idea that it is his responsibility to keep his feet when someone sprints at him 60m of the ball, just so the game looks tougher, is ludicrous.

Y do people always blame the victim. If the raging brownlow favourite hadn't run 60m to shove him or if Oliver had braced himself it wouldn't have been a free. But y point the finger at Clayton because that Hawk twerp did the wrong thing. Oliver is a smart footballer who plays within the rules. Strange how serial cheats like Duckwood  & Dangermouse get away with not playing in the spirit of the game. How Dmouse got away with manufactoring a free kick & goal because he nominated himself for the ruck from 20m away makes me fume. They won by less than a goal.

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. 

Stupid is as stupid does. A very undisciplined act by an idiot.

The free was paid because a free was due.

Yep Mitchell initiated the contact, Oliver was just standing there.

What about the Hawks players diving forward in marking contests as if they'd been shoved in the back? Or flying over our players as if on ice so as to make out their legs were taken from under them? Or diving headfirst into our tackles so they could get a free for high contact?

What about the fact Oliver gets scragged at every single stoppage so has to compete for the ball with one arm half the time? Why is there no media coverage on that?

I suppose it is this topic; I've noted a particular skillset being honed: the ability to get under the skin of the opposition and put them off their game.

I like it

Oliver outsmarted Mitchell. That's all.Hawks pizzed off at being mentally outmaneuvered.

Can't wait to see how we out fox the weagles. 

Footy as much a game between the ears as off the boot.

Go you good Dees

It was an unusual situation.  Usually someone will try to ruffle the tagger i.e. Shiel rather than the star, and also unusual that it was their star who did it.

Oliver was coping enough borderline tactics from Shiel, he doesn't need Mitchell getting in on the act too.  Free was defn there.  

It’s funny how the media seem to go after our young star for “staging” when it is actually rife throughout the league in my opinion. Selwood, Rance and many others are far worse but don’t seem to cop the same heat. But hey, if clary doesn’t care then neither do I.

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!

 

On the way to training now. Thanks KJO. 

Post if the week !

This is the attitude that those venting their spleens in the 'our supporter stereotype' need to take a look at.

 

I believe in Clayton.

A new Group in the Media wouldn't be a bad idea to come in with the new Power Club of the 20 Twenties either.

And so he shouldn’t care, most people are morons (present company excluded of course).

With a little luck, the Weagles may have already been outfoxed by the umpiring committee (is there such a thing?)... with all of the media discussion over the disparity in free kicks when playing at home, the Weagles crowd may have become their own worst enemy.

I argue he didnt dive. mitchell ran through him. big difference. The force didnt stop at contact. it kept going. 

As opposed to the dive by some hawks player trying to get a 50m made earlier in the game when Oliver arrived late on the mark.

No derision by the commentators then.

 

What about Jones unarmed head being scratched?

Throughout the match you could hear the umpires repeatedly warning Hawthorn players about making contact with Oliver off the ball.  They chose to ignore the warnings and got pinged.

agreed, absolutely not a dive

he may have (stress 'may') milked it a little bit, but it was all initiated by mitchell and a straight shoulder charge to the chest when clarrie was not braced and miles off the ball. if dorks have a problem it should be with mitchell for a stupid lack of control. a free kick every time in my book

The guys flopping over Jones, Brayshaw and Lewis got free kicks.......just sayin...

They commented about the umpires not being sucked in but you;re right nothing about Shiels diving...
