Some in the media won't be happy until they can make public whatever upset Petty without having any concern that that may be more upsetting to Petty than what happened on Friday night.

    That was so, so bizarre.

    I had a mate who went. A super passionate dees fan who makes Andylook optimistic.

    I was speaking to him as he arrived and was saying what a a hole Zorko was, that he would look to stir up stuff and was a woeful captain.

    He has form. Every single match.

    I watched the replay last night's  I started watching from the first bounce live, so missed this- but on the replay as the lions run out of the stand I'm sure they had a pair of boxing gloves hanging above them sd they ran onto the fortunate. Several players hit them on the easy through.

    I'm assuming they had some theme, maybe something like Rocky or whatever.

    Pathetic.

    And completely ineffective 

    Those gloves have been there all season Bin. 

    But no doubt they went the knuckle at any opportunity and they forgot about winning the footy. Totally backfired on them.

    Absolutely - on the Herald Sun app, there is no report on the game, just two stories from last night: the Petty incident and BBB getting his face cut up. Real low quality stuff.

    Jesus christ what the hell was said? The poor bloke was in tears and supposedly Alan Richardson gave one of their staff a serve a 3 quarter time according to Matthew Richardson. 

     

    Must have been nasty.

    He's as tough as they come. To make him cry ...a line was clearly crossed.

    I heard a rumours it was something about a family member.

    If so he's very loyal and protective.

    Social media has. Whether it’s correct or not is another thing.

    Brown comes from the era of “if you’re someone who cries…a cry-baby, you shouldn’t be playing football”. It wasn’t that long ago, so things are changing rapidly. Listening to the game commentary - BT, Brayshaw, and then Riewoldt, Lyon and Brown in the after-match analysis, it really iterates how rank and stupid Brown’s macho-garbage attitude is. BT no stranger to this of course. As usual, Kayo-FOXTEL-7 are waaay behind the curve. The more we/viewers/other media call it out, the better. 
    Nick Riewoldt, one the bravest yet least aggro players ever, nailed the Lions rubbish tough-rough idiocy perfectly, making the point that it doesn’t work, and always backfires. He was really the lone voice, and you can feel his discomfort with the tough boys club mentality that Brown represents. 
     

    As to Zorko, it’s inexplicable to me that this guy is the Lions captain. His angry schoolyard ‘make it hurt’ physicality (typified by the headlock on Lingers) is simply anathema to leadership. That headlock should also have been punished by the umps.
     

    I also want to praise Christian Petracca. EVERY single tussle and bit of aggro, he’s in there pulling guys away and talking them down (mostly Jack Viney!). His maturity and sense of responsibility for sportsmanship and fair play is unique. This club is extremely lucky to have him. Love the boy. 

    Same with Max.

    He could take down 3 or 4 players at once by himself but never does.

    Plays footy not the man.

    Poor lions they tried to rough as up and got eaten alive.

    To rattle a bloke in the middle of game would have had to have said something quite sub human. 

    Well it was zorko

    Chris Fagan has been good for Brisbane but it's an indictment on his leadership that he's had Beams then Zorko as captains.

    Teams that deep down don't feel they can win tend to try to change the dynamic of the game by getting physical ... desperation ... they are our bunnies

    The mainstream media wouldn't be game to report what is on social media, it is so bad.

    Even without seeing the social media we know by our club reaction that it was really bad.  We do things quietly be it complain about umpiring, accepting/fighting player suspensionsetc. 

    Not this time.  Richardson and Goodwin were very upfront, direct and unequivocal about the incident.  And made a point of saying Brisbane apologised.

    Huge kudos to them for publicly and strongly standing up for Petty and drawing a line under abuse.

    Riewoldt on Fox diagnosed it well; they were so riled up about ‘contested footy’ and how we have dominated them that they played distracted with ‘faux toughness.’

    It made me really depressed for Fagan’s chances of sticking around post Tigers loss. I think it’s over.

    If Zorko actually said what he's supposed to have said he deserves a long ban. Absolutely disgusting remark. What a low life

    To a point, 1 finals win from 5 games over last 3 years. Not making top 4 this year and likely to be overtaken by Blues and Pies next year.

    enjoyed hearing Daisy/Goody praise his resilience for being able to reset and comeback on.  Lots of warriors bagging Petty on social media for being soft, bunch of absolute pelicans

    I think James Brayshaw is very very biased against the Dees. Clearly barracked for Pies and Blues in recent games.

    Johnathan (DS) Brown is a grub himself. Courageous at the footy but happy to swing his arm to the head on occasions. 
     

    I was at the game and Zorko was the agitator.  Langdon runs him down, holding the ball and he proceeds to get Langdon in the head lock (no 50!!). Zorko is their skipper and wanted to rough the Dees up.  It backfired big time !! He was the super-grub last night.  

    It actually shows that Brayshaw knows very little about footy and should stick to cricket, if he calls the serial sniper the victim.

    You can also hear distinct barracking in his commentary.

    Surely there is better out there. Does Huddo have a brother /sister?

    For all the criticism about our ‘apparent’ deteriorating culture and selfishness, last night all I saw was a single united club playing and supporting each other. 

     

    Jonathan Brown’s comment is extremely disappointing. As a senior commentator, influential figure in the sport, a father and a 40 year old man, he should have been much more considered in his commentary - particularly given it was known from the outset to be something inflammatory about a family member and Petty is a young 22 year old. I think he behaved completely appropriately in the circumstances.

    In addition to their focus of mental health, inclusiveness, women and on field behaviour, Brown and Fox Sports should immediately apologise to Petty, and the AFL investigate the incident.

    This one million percent.

    I'm so proud of the staff and the players.

    That's real toughness.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
