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'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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
