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.

    Love to hear Brown say this while sitting opposite Nick Riewoldt on the Fox panel.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
