The way that Zorko has tried to deflect from his gutter mouth by saying he was provoked was disgusting.

The AFL should have acted on him and Brisbane should remove the Captaincy.

i think he was trying to say he was provoked by the fact that the demons were giving them a jolly good rogering

    Well he had to come up with something,  " well it wasn't me teach, they were all picking on me".

    He denied saying anything initially then changed his story twice.

    And he was clearly the instigator from the first bounce despite what he wants you to believe. Perhaps some Melbourne players did get stuck into him but not before he decided to get into push and shoves and headlocks first. World class [censored].

    Lions are slow learners, believe by taking cheap shots at the demons will put us off our game. 
    Let’s see after three flogging whether they continue with their tough guy act next time we play!!

     

    On another topic would be delighted to see Lions & Tigers belt the heck out of one another this weekend!😃

    From the "the dog ate my homework" school of excuses.

    His Interview with SEN last week was weak as you know what. Saying that Petty came over to him at 3QT and he was kind of surprised and trying to remember what he might have said. The next minute we're hearing reports that he was provoked and the victim or slurs that were just as terrible as what was said to Petty.

    I'm sorry, but if you said something out of severe hurt from waht came in your direction, you KNOW what it was at 3QT that you said and you don't look all sheepish about it either. 

    Disappointing the way this has all gone down.

    Perhaps the AFL could do with a better than good flogging in the next fortnight or so.

    And afterwards why not instead of just one retirement, we could have the whole rabble resign en masse.

    On a serious note there is a good reason for a fairly dysfunctional Board to look at their operational arm from a point of view of a public relations shambles these last few years and make some effort to see what's working and what isn't.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
