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.

    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

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
