might be unique in this opinion but I’ve got respect for mitch robinson. Has always played hard, lived on the edge and got the best out of himself. Called is bruise free when we were

Mitch has done well at Brisbane but speak to Rohan Bail about him 

 

We should back Petty 1000% but if he’s happy to not escalate things it would be nice if we could keep the details under wraps. Doesn’t mean we excuse Zorko, but it would show we’re focused on the job and protect Petty from whatever it was that set him off to begin with

Don’t know that story DS…I’ve obviously missed one there. I like Rohan. He was a real tryer for us

 

Zorko finished!

Zorko's apparently deactivated his instagram already.

 

2 wrongs don’t make a right, imagine there’s some awful stuff coming his way and we can’t even be 100% sure it’s justified yet. Still a chance it was all a misunderstanding 

Pretty poor by Zorko, started with a failed attempt of physicality 

Ending up with apparently some very unsavoury comments about a family member

How in Gods name is this bloke an AFL Captain

He couldn’t try very hard after Mitch smashed his head in at Casey one day.

I didn’t like seeing that. It was a horrible look for the game, and really cast a shadow over the last quarter and post game.

It’s prime time Friday night. This is going to be a story, and I think Zorko is either going to look shady, or the reality of it comes out and he looks worse.

Im not sure why anyone thinks it’s going away. Am I missing something?

There’s no way it’s going away, also no way the afl wouldn’t get involved. But if it can be handled quickly and without fuss it might benefit us. It’s absolutely awful that Petty has to deal with this when our players should be absolutely buzzing for the next few days 

And again Petty goes unheralded for a sensational performance and a great last quarter. He is a star and he’s only 22.

We were raving about him at my place tonight.  My son bought up his age which I had forgotten about.  So young with a wonderful future.  

Feel for Harrison, and hope he is ok. 

2 potential positives (on the assumption that it doesn’t have an ongoing neg effect for Petty)

a) team bonding. Strengthen the theme of “team” and how they play for each other 

b) distract the media away from the main story (fact that we should be flag fav’s, and are back to our 2021 best) Let them continue to pump the cats up, and pressure of expectation is all on them.

I agree.

It needs to be dealt with, and Zorko deserves every last bit of (fair) punishment coming his way if this was more than a misunderstanding, but the less spotlight the better IMO.

Fortunately there's a week off next week so the story will die down well before our first final no matter what.

100%, every team in the comp would die to have this guy nullifying the 2nd or 3rd banana every week whilst seemingly going unnoticed

Dorko's always been a sniper, just glad he tried to snipe Tmac last year, sat him on his [censored].

Any ramifications on his choke hold on Ed?

Gutless campaigner

The game was at Princes Park.

Robinson dropped him 100m off the ball while he wasn't looking.

Paul Wheatley terrorised him for the rest of the game and Robinson wanted to be somewhere else.

I was in the rooms after the game and Bail was clearly out of sorts.

He did thank Wheatley for squaring up.

Disgusting act by Robinson.

Unfortunately with no football the story might have legs this week...

...but the EFC should come to the rescue, nothing like a big club in disarray to hog the headlines.

Meanwhile, Mr Petracca has something to say in the rooms

Good call rjay. The Lord does not back down even when he is certain he is wrong

I bloody hope so, extremely dangerous 

Feel for Harry, the last thing he'd want is everyone commenting on this very personal matter.

Hopefully this all goes away quickly for his sake

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • 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.
