The comment was definitely NOT ‘l hope your mother dies’. Idk where Robinson got that from. And I’m amazed he can report something (on such a sensitive issue) that’s totally untrue. 

Unless you are prepared the tell what you know, why comment. It’s been denied it was the comment about his sister and Bastinac. So if not his mother, then what. You don’t to repeat verbatim, but you keep making claims and then being ambiguous.

    Thank you. The "I know something you don't know but I can't tell you" routine gets way too overdone here.

    Thank you NC. 💕

    And you’re right, it’s not my opinion.

    I’m entitled to comment in this thread without having to go into detail.

    Everyone else has freely expressed their disgust/anger/disbelief at this incident, why should it be any different in my case, right?

    But this isn’t actually about the HP incident. This particular poster has it in for me regardless of what thread we’re in. It’s a good thing I’m growing a thicker skin just like Uncle Bitter said I should. 🙂

    Harry was mature enough to leave it on the field. 
     

    I trust our boys will take it back up with Zorko when we next meet on the field.

    @Neil Crompton a bit more answering and less face palming would boost my respect for you.

    How about you respect that HP and MFC want to keep this as private as they can for obvious reasons. It’s really none of your business, nor is it your right to know. 
    And I could really care less about boosting your respect for me.

    Do the AFLPA weald the power to sanction another player? i wasn't aware that they (potentially) had this authority.

    The AFLPA can make whatever rules they like so long as they get the agreement of their members, and the governance is agreed. I’m sure most players  by now would have a pretty good understanding of this incident, and I’d be amazed if 99 percent of them didn’t agree that Zorko should be severely sanctioned.
     

    This is a governance issue and therefore should take place behind closed doors and need not involve HP at all if he doesn’t want. It is however of such outrageous behaviour that it requires some penalty, if only to ensure justice is done, and to make all players realise there are consequences for this sort of outrageous antisocial behaviour, especially when directed at innocent fellow players.

    There is a reason this hasn't been explained.

    If it was racism it would rightly be called out.

    I have suspicions about what was said and the reason it hasn't been annouced.

    Sh/t post I know but let us all back HP no matter what was said.

    Listen, I don't want to know about it and I don't know why that person feels the need to speculate on it. It is inappropriate to do so and is further fueling the talk on this thread that really needs to be put to bed. Don't take it out on people just because their opinion  is different to yours.

    If someone is going to speculate however I'd rather a journo than someone who has proven not to know anything about anything.

    Give it a rest mate. It's the internet, anonymous people will write things then you can take it or leave it. No need to harass posters (and I say harass because this is not the first time).

    And in terms of a penalty, the damage to Zorko's reputation is penalty enough.

     

     

    Also the fact that he is captain is penalty enough for Brisbane. Will never win anything with this tiny angry [censored] in charge.

    They are a toothless tiger in this area. Never forget who provides their funding. The only time they buck the AFL is at salary time.

    agree - Zorko is the big loser here. He has trashed whatever was left of his reputation and will be unlikely to get any high level coaching job post retirement. 

    Hird filled his players with banned substances and is being looked at again.

    You never can tell.

    I guess that's right but I doubt Hird will get up for Essendrug. if he does, they deserve all they get which will be further division and dysfunction.

    Hird ??? Double standards here.

    Seems some people break the rules pay the penalty & its all ok

    Others break the rules, pay the penalty & then have to keep paying.

    I suppose you decide who gets to be forgiven & who doesn't. 

     

     

    Cranky Franky versus faultydet?

    Now there's a match up I'd pay good money to watch

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
