Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver was on the receiving end of a sledge from a Carlton fan during the second quarter of Sunday's match against the Blues, and it has now been revealed what the fan said.

According to SEN's Sam McClure, the supporter shouted a four-letter word at Oliver, while also labelling him a diver, after an incident against West Coast a fortnight ago in which many suggested Oliver went down a little easy following an elbow from Eagle Will Schofield.

“The fan who clearly said something first called Oliver a four letter profanity with the word “weak” in front of it. He also called him a diver, which clearly refers to a couple of incidents with Will Schofield being the main one,” McClure told SEN Breakfast on Monday morning.

“Clearly Oliver was not happy with that and went back at the fan. We’re not exactly sure what was said the other way.

“Carlton have also confirmed this morning that they will contact the patron involved. They are unsure if he is a member but they are looking into that.

“Clearly it will come out in the wash exactly what was said but both clubs who I have spoken to are not happy with the look of the incident.”

SEN also confirmed the AFL are looking into the incident, and are just waiting for a security report from the MCG before moving forward with the issue.
