It may not be popular but he definitely shirked contact. Not saying he is soft but Fogarty is a few kegs short of a dump truck and there’s not many in the AFL that would have taken that hit.

Shame.  I have just watched it a couple of time and I thought that the ball was over his head and unspoilable.

    Can’t believe what I just heard Dermie say on crunch time (well l can actually) he basically said that Oliver took short steps with Darcy Forgerty on the lead Thursday night.

    Dermie is a moron, but I said the same at the time...

    Tell me you haven't watched the last three years of tribunal decisions without telling me you haven't watched the last three years of tribunal decisions

     

    You'd probably be the first one complaining if Clarry broke his right trying to spoil the ball

    there's being brave.

    and then there's being reckless. 

    there is a difference.

    I thought Clarry’s issue was more his hand and not wanting to spoil with it.

    But he’s also a strange player Oliver, he’ll charge at the ball through traffic but he doesn’t wear contact well. 

    When he’s not playing well he feels contact and dishes the ball with costly turnover handballs rather than absorbing tackles like Cripps does. Or Viney or Tracc.

    I’m not saying he’s not super brave, he’s just a different type of brave.

    WRONG ON MANY LEVELS🤮

    Just a bit more fuel on the fire to stick it up these outdated media [censored]

    How much more credibility can this dinosaur lose.

    To suggest that Clarries effort was soft especially with all the concussion concerns now & one of his best mates forced into retirement is embarrassingly pathetic 

    You would see a harder ball player than Clarry 
    Oh yeah and then Tom Morris said that Kozzies action was similar to Maynard’s against Gus!!

    Clarry made a strategic decision for he and his opponent to pull out, not because he was scared. He is ahead of his time Clarry

    I just think we should challenge. The blues and Collingwood wood.  (Pardon) the bump had no severe outcome,  so it might have been a lot of things but it was not dangerous in the extreme, just a little bit.

    should be a Fine and a smack on the hands

    or a they should hang him.  Suspended sentence.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
