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.

Won’t somebody close this thread?!?

it’s already dead!

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

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. 🙂

[McQueen 17,867]

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.

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.

Expand  

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.

 

Expand  

 

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

[layzie 34,528]

Is Zorko the modern day Anthony Rock?

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.

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
