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    Just a bit more fuel on the fire to stick it up these outdated media [censored]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

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
