Threw the elbow at his chin and IMO clipped him.
But hey! Whatever!

Wouldnât have knocked a cigarette out of his mouth.
Reminiscent of that scab Carroll. He decked Lloyd about 5s before a siren, Lloyd gets up and pushes him back and Carroll puts in a golden globe performance; then dropped him in it at tribunal (when not being an arsehole at tribunal was a thing). Must be a demons thing.
Parker is lucky bags is not a ducking, diving , head throwing ****
Houli shouldâve been suspended for 8 matches after that defense. Only got 2 weeks when 4 was recommended?
Used Wyatt Earp and the Prime Minister as character witnessesâŚ
From Aly, via Michael Tovey: âHe does this in the face of racial abuse, which Aly has seen time and time again.â
Michael Tovey referred to support from Aly, talking about Houliâs âhumility and his gentlenessâ.

What has his personal life got to do with that act on field?
Thatâs legit one of the most pathetic suspensions handed down Iâve seen. Off the ball, whacks him in the head and knocks him out completely. IN THE HEAD. KNOCKED OUT. 2 WEEKS. IN THE HEAD. But they convinced everyone heâs a good bloke off the field so he gets away wit hit. Fck right off.
Schofield pushes him over and gets a week. In fact if he fails tonight itâll be 2 weeks also.
And youâll know theyâll probably let Schofield off. That way they donât have to punish the dive but let Schofeld off.

Did they just play the religion card?
Yeah blowing on the man. Play on
Things have changed though.
Bickley, who also had the cleanest record ever, only got five for this.
Makes Houli getting two look reasonable.
Aly interfering with AFL feels like Rita Panahi being labelled and AFL expert⌠or Sam Lane a hard hitting journalistâŚjust wrong.
And what is â â â â â â Turnbull doing? Not only does our money prop up the AFL, our taxes fund player character witnesses.
It was intentional and he knocked him out. Shouldâve got a month.
Needs to be more Fark Carlton players knocked out!
Is Houli an even better bloke than Hodgey?
Yes, but not as courageous.
Schofield not guilty.
Conspiracy theory:
Umps had the choice of charging Schofield with striking or Oliver with diving.
AFL didnât want to publicly tag a young star like Oliver with the âdiverâ label, especially when he plays for Melb who they desperately want to be successful. Theyâve got him in the waiting list for the âget out of umpiring freeâ card that Judd and Goodes used to have. But it was obviously not a legit strike from Schofield.
Solution: make a report. If Schofield accepts the penalty, he confessed and so Oliver is proven to have not dived. If he challenges it and loses, heâs guilty so Oliver is proven to have not dived. If Schofield challenges it and wins, then video review has already taken place, itâs too late to bring diving charges against Oliver and it all conveniently goes away.
#donthetinfoilhat
Bang on!
I actually it would play out that way before they found schofield guilty.
Typical AFL manufactoring a result that protects the image of the game.
What did we discover today? Houli is a protected species. The AFL are willing to risk public ridicule to protect him. Tomorrow the AFL will be making threats if any more articles are written about it.
Interesting vid on twitter. It appears Oliver had a previous moment of Days Of Our Lives melodrama
The Higgins incident I take it.
