MRP / Trib. Schofield squirts his way out of trouble, free to play

[mad_eagle]

Melbourne have f**ked us over with the medical report I reckon...

 

[eagles rule]

Soft soft MRP have they never played the game ..

Oliver wins Best Actor for that performance..

 

[StateOE]

What is frustrating about this is both Viney and Oliver got off while Schoey gets done.
Looking after the eastern sides as usual.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Have some balls and challenge it on principle, then play repeated slow motion clips of the previous Oliver diving and squealing like a stuck pig incidents.

Spot on. I'm glad he got a week actually just so this can happen

Most definitely, not surprising from a joke club that spends one decade tanking, and the one before that trying to vote itself out of existence.

MRP AND AFL is like an episode of Faulty Towers.

Very stiff to get 1 week for that. Should have been thrown out.

Good luck Saturday

What a joke. Calls it a cheap shot after he took his little shove at Shuey who wasn't looking (even thought here wasn't much force in it), Schofield just stood up for his team mate and gave him one back a bit harder. He definitely made a bit of contact to Oliver's chin, but it hardly connected and to me it appeared his intention was more a shove to the chest/shoulder area. The carry on after by Oliver on the ground was embarrassing, but his tough guy act when he got up, well that was just hilarious.

This is bullshit but we got lucky with Shuey last week, you get the good with the bad.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Challenge, and mark my words, the board will see a night not experienced since the glorious Q Lynch defence.

#bitegate decent too

 

[TheHumanShoe]

How many weeks is Oliver out with his broken jaw?

Shuey was innocent you peanut

How many weeks is Oliver out with his broken jaw?

He looked to be in a lot of pain afterwards, judging by that I reckon at least 4-6 weeks

 

[nameless]

I look forward to the appeal and hearing what Oliver has to say.

That was my favourite BigFooty night

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Anyone started a GoFundMe for Schoey's elbow surgery yet? Happy to chip in.

Checking his mouth for blood while talking to th umpire... Filthy little rat. I admired Oliver as a player and was unaware of his previous dives, but this effort and then his conduct on Twitter are deplorable. He has a lot to learn.

The news is better than first thought... Schofield got a week!

 

[Godfather32]

This has got to be a joke surely? Got to be the weakest suspension ever

 

[the harry]

lulz this is just getting ridiculous.

The AFL can't be serious about this. Saint Nick punched the north guy last week and nothing happens while Oliver puts in an Oscar worthy effort and we're offered 2 down to 1? AFL please.....

 

[whatis]

Just saw it for the first time. Not worth two weeks surely. Surely not, was more like a lazy push off than a deliberate elbow.

If we challenge though won't it just come down to what the Melbourne player says? I will be impressed if he admits to playing it up at all but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[RookiePick]

Back and to the left

 

[Chris_6678]

He will get sledged big time now.

 

[Ochre]

Well Ralphy's called me a miserable prick on twitter so at least something good has come out of this.

 

[amazingjoshy]

I like Schoeys reaction after Oliver goes down

 

[Beutbrute]

From a pragmatic point of view if we challenge we risk loosing Schofield for our match against Port Power.

Currently we will have Kennedy in that team, which gives us a backline of Makenzie, Barrass, McGovern all as talls. Port currently only have 2 talls in Dixon and Trengrove, so we can afford to loose Schofield
