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?

    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
