Still reckon Oliver should have been cited twice as well - One for the punch which led to the issue and then the dive.

Maybe the blood came from diving on the ground.

Yeah there clearly was a touch of high contact on Oliver's chin. But didn't seem to be much force in that, so would've thought him dropping like a sack of shower late would mean he's looked at for staging.

Fair enough for the MRP to have a look at Schofield but definitely didn't expect him to get booked, I'm pretty bewildered to be honest.

Partington finally might get the call up this week

What's the deal with this guy? Seems like a magnet, just been tearing up the 2s begging for a call up?

Yeah, it was a really weird action, he went to shove him in the shoulder, but for some reason his elbow was on an angle and did connect with his chin...was super low impact and he reacted 5 seconds too late to the force.  This is the 2nd time Oliver has done this, earlier in the year Higgins brushed past him when he was getting all that attention and Oliver dropped like a sack of spuds, pathetic look and he needs to get a fine as he's done it twice now.
There are plenty of players who are higher up the chain than Oliver. Not sure why the AFL bother saying they can fine players for staging when they never do.

One thing this incident has done (by virtue of Oliver's back tracking after the incident) is show how embarrassed players get when accused of staging (as they should be). All the football shows on TV and online should have a dedicated segment each week for "outing" players diving/staging from that weekends games to embarrass the shower out of them to try and put a stop to it.

The thing that annoys me, is just own up to it!  flower its not that big of a deal and if you own up to it, you're going to gain some respect back.  I know I wouldn't be so pissed if he said yeah I was playing for the free kick, no harm done.

"He's very close," Simpson said of Partington. "He's done a lot right. He had 28 touches and kicked four (goals at East Perth) on the weekend and a couple of weeks ago had similar numbers, so he's ready.

"He knows how to kick a goal, he's not a big fella, but he's got that one trait that’s very hard to teach, which is natural ball-winning ability."

Partington and Wellingham are flying over for this weeks match

So we go through all the effort to challenge Schoefields suspension, and he is out with a hip issue LMAO what a waste of flowering time/money/effort

The_Captain

Simpson proving time and time again he cant make calculated decisions. He is a useless coach with no game plan and will not play the youth who have been dominating the wafl level. Your a flowering disgrace Simmo
