Made one post in response to a bloke calling into question his character. I bet Martyn would have gone down like a sack of shite if an opponent elbowed him during the tea break too. Why: because he would have no reason to expect it.

You have a go at him "sooking it up like a bitch on social media" yet here you are having quite the constant and considerable hissy fit over it.
Pot meet kettle.

Really you should be asking why the MRP deemed a 'sore jaw' to be worthy of low impact and not negligible. Especially considering the tribunal was able to overturn it.

I can guarantee you no Melbourne supporter is amused by this at all. The only people who are amused are the keyboard warriors.
That was sarcasm. Guess your not bright enough to detect it though.Couldn't have put it better myself.
Glad you've finally seen the light.

I'm amused by the hyperbole
Nah I'd prefer him doing this:
Look at the reading of the play, gathering of the footy, finding a running Hibberd with a handball who sends a long ball to the goal square where T-Mac breaks the hearts of Eagles supporters.

You realise the AFL plays the role of prosecution in the tribunal process?
The AFL were arguing Houli should get 4 weeks, he came out with two.
Exactly. People want to talk about soft? Look at all the peahearted Eagles players jogging to the square because it's all too hard for them to front up and actually win the ball in the coalface.

Yes, and there was no satire involved in my post whatsover.That was sarcasm. Guess your not bright enough to detect it though.
Soft as Odiver himself.

Should have copped 10 weeks for trying to get into Marto. Bloke is an Aussie icon.
Satire and sarcasm are different. Wouldn't expect you to know that though.

Not sure this is true. He is a media darling and they've been protecting him with their lives thus far. Lindsay Thomas could only dream of this sort of treatment
Based on his history, 'footsteps' Oliver will be diving again within a couple of weeks.

Where did I say they weren't?
Digging faster than Oliver hits the ground after being hit by a slight breeze.
Based on his history "Elbows" Schofield will be dishing out the cheapshots again in no time at all...in the WAFL though.
For this supposed "soft" player he sure as hell does an amazing job of getting the hardball/contested possessions.
It would be hilarious if he won more contested possessions on Saturday night than every Eagles player.
Oh wait............he did.

No shit, little shit campaigner kids these days brought up with flogs like Warner instead.

of course you guys are glad this is over and want to move on - your messiah that will win 15 Brownlows over the next 10 years has in the space of 3 nights proven himself to be a stager, a liar, and a petulant flog who had a crack at Damien Martyn who has more sporting success than Oliver can dream of. Glad its over... i reckon Demons supporters wish they could erase everyones memory of this pathetic display by one of their players.
Alas, supporters and players of all teams wont let Oliver forget this for a long time. Reckon the next time Oliver turns up to Demons HQ that he will be booked in for some media training
The QC basically called Rosebury a liar. Rosebury is a senior umpire and would not appreciate getting dragged through all this primarily because of Oliver's exaggeration. Sure, Schofield threw the elbow but you can bet Rosebury won't be blaming him.
I think there may be slim pickings for Oliver when it comes to receiving free kicks in the next few seasons unless he cleans his act up fast. Before he knows it, he will be the boy who cried wolf like Jack Darling, Lindsay Thomas etc. Those guys aren't paid genuine frees because they put it on so much that they aren't given the benefit of the doubt.

I maintained the whole way that I was interested to see the medical report as it would shed light on the severity of the impact. In the end the MRP decided that a 'sore jaw' was worth a suspension, which I immediately damned. I'm not too concerned either way as I will still be able to enjoy Oliver's football for a very long time.
If you feel like booing him next time we play you have fun with that.
