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

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
