Melbourne players have gone into bat for Clayton Oliver after he copped a shot from Richmond’s Marlion Pickett late in the first quarter at the MCG on Wednesday night. Bayley Fritsch was in the process of kicking the Demons ahead when a fiery melee erupted metres to his left with Pickett and Jack Viney scuffling underneath a group of players.
Clayton Oliver cheap shot sparks fiery melee. Channel 7 commentator Cameron Ling was quick to note it stemmed from Oliver going down. “He went to ground, he’s copped a belt to the guts and straight away his teammates got over. They are not happy at all here,” he said. Replays showed Pickett threw his right hand at the stomach of an unsuspecting Oliver. “Viney spotted it immediately and as soon as the Melbourne players were aware of it they were straight over,” Ling added.
