Oliver's fault he was gouged in the eye

I think the vital question being ignored here is where the hell is Kane Cornes sitting? Does he have a magic golden box and bowl setup?

The Media absolutely hating on us this year.

I can’t watch any of the footy shows anymore , King, Cornes, Whateley, Robbo, Caroline Wilson, BT, just love sinking the boots in.

I mentioned the hate for the Demons on here a few years back and mostly got howled down as it being nonsense.

Hope everyone here has felt that this year as it's not just the odd media journo.

If you attended a few games at the G you would have felt/heard it there as well.

2023 has to be a big year for this club.  Need to come out and wack all these farkers big time.

2023 ....THE YEAR OF NO MERCY!!

Even if you accept this twaddle, how was Oliver meant to know it wasn't intentional?

Where was the ‘player’s code’ when Buddy faked being hit in the back to milk a free which turned the momentum in the grand final? That guy is seriously untouchable. His antics should have drawn much more attention. Oliver is hated and admired at the same time 

[Clintosaurus 6,680]

Open season on our players then?

[Demon Disciple 11,139]

Let Berry play, he won’t make an ounce of difference to the outcome

“The Lions called on evidence from AFL great Luke Hodge and a neurosurgeon as part of their defence of Berry.”

 

Luke Hodge in for some impartial evidence. I mean he mounted the defence for Berry immediately in the media. What a conflict of interest. I hate Brisbane, the grubby wannabe tough guys. We need to dominate them next year. I hope the cats murder them this weekend 

[WalkingCivilWar 33,536]

Berry’s suspension was overturned. Of course.

Just what Lincoln McCarthy did on Friday night is enough to make me wanna see Geelong smash them. This successful Berry appeal just solidifies it.

Perhaps because he's actually played AFL pal..and also  knows Clarrie is given to falling over and not being as tough in the clinches as he is in the contested packs 

Besides which he wasn't actually gouged in the eye.

I have no idea who you are IRW, but that is one of the oddest posts I have ever seen on Demonland (and considering the wide field of "odd posts" that is quite a claim!). But I feel a Monty Python quote coming on, from the Holy Grail: "what a strange person". 

[RedLegs23 855]

Lol Love how this has turned out to be all Clarry's fault

Melbourne FC turning out to be yesterdays darling. 

A year's a long time in footy hey

I will explain it to you then

Pendlebury's opinion is likely informed by his understanding of what actually happens on the AFL ground.

It is probably moderated by players generally wanting other players to get a finals game unless they are a thug  like Toby Greene.

It seems relatively  common that  Oliver falls over to milk frees outside of pack contests.

He's not soft  just a lousy actor.

And the charge wasn't eye gouging so the decision doesn't relate to that.

You don't have to like it but is it too hard for you to understand .

Your response wasn't odd   merely typically prejudiced and childish

So Oliver reddened his eye himself.  Give it a rest

Do you mean "Clarry is tough in the game, especially in contested packs, but he doesn't pretend to be a hard man when people hit him out of play or off the ball"?

Clarry goes as hard as anyone in field. No one should need to cop hits, or knocks or punches etc once the whistle has gone and you aren't expecting contact.

Expecting players to be braced and ready to absorb assault at any moment when on the field is ridiculous.

Clarry gets illegally held at every stoppage but only a couple of frees are awarded. Absolute scam.

Seeing the scragging going on at every single contest without anything from the umpires is one of the things that makes me question why I bother watching the sport

[Swooper1987 2,801]

I'm not into conspiracy theories as a rule but I am beginning to believe there is a real dislike of Clayton from other players.  The last two years he didn't get near the MVP despite winning the AFLCA award in both years.  Blokes like Pendlebury come out and blacken his name with his "elbow into the throat" bs. Just seems like there is a bit more going on here.

[kev martin 9,323]

Berry was always going to get off, especially when next game is a final.

Need something like, when he plays us next suspension. He will be our target along with Zorko and McCarthy.

It will be a grudge match when we meet them again.
