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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
