The afl is so worried about soccer it's taken the line that if you can't beat them, join then.
Let the diving commence....

Wow. That's probably the worst MRP decision in history. There was daylight between Schofield's elbow and Oliver's chin. Not only was Oliver acting it was terrible actually at that. He should cop a week for the bad acting!!
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: MRP thread 2017
Not so sure the Schofield elbow didn't connect, I saw another angle and it looked like it was a glancing blow. Looked very, very low impact but I have also heard it mentioned that getting hit there is the sweet spot and it really rattles your head. So maybe Oliver wasn't exaggerating? Maybe it did actually put him on his arse? Who knows. Schofield out is a big win for us though!

Re: MRP thread 2017
If they appeal...how do they appeal? "Well we would like to submit that there was no contact" but no evidence to support it?

Diving has been officially accepted and promoted by the AFL ever since Nick Riewoldt flopped around like a dead fish in the 2009 PF.

Looked like a flop for mine. Watched it over and over again and just really can't see much in it. That sweet spot should not have been rattled at a glance otherwise he'd have a long history of being concussed.
All that being said Schofield shouldn't be trying to whack someone in the head anyway.

Well not unless we're playing against him and his Team the following week

Schofield has decided to challenge the suspension.

Does this mean that Oliver will be called upon to give evidence? If so does he say he was acting to milk a free or does he LIE and say he thought his jaw might be broken?

If Oliver believes he is justified in claiming he was stunned, it would be a new low for player interaction.
After Bugg the prior week with Easton Wood perhaps Melbourne should change their name from Demons to Autumn Leaves.

Re: MRP thread 2017
The camera angle behind Schofield clearly shows the elbow making contact underneath his chin, and at pace. Not sure falling on his lemon was the proportionate response, but it would've hurt nonetheless.
Can't see him getting off that - it was accidental, but contact to the head is undeniable.
