AFL not investigating Zork
AFL go soft on Brisbane after 2 suspension coming and finals on the way.
Just because clubs happy - what's the point of a code of conduct / behavior then?
Representative of Gill's reign - negotiate rather than rule. Remember he took over the Melb tanking investigation as Adrian Anderson wanted to find them guilty - AD wouldn't allow that as he said it didn't exist and dictator Andrew ( years before Dictator Dan) got Gil in and negotiated an outcome seeing Melbourne fined $500,000 but found not guilty if tanking. So they were fined for NOT tanking.

Horrid thing to say to someone if reports are true.

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
I’ve been in the dark all day. Is it common knowledge what was said now? Or is it just rumour mongering?

It must have been one devastating sledge given the bad reaction of Petty and his teammates. Even May got stuck into Zorko.

What's to investigate. Cut and dried Zorko is a nasty piece of work and already stands condemned.

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
If reports are true about the Bastinac connection, then I doubt Petty wants to drag his sister through the mud. Probably a very poor sledge by today's standards, but doesn't warrant action.
These days it's better to play footy and keep your mouth zipped.

Fitzsimmons circumcision scar must have healed as he no longer wears a f****** silly bandanna around that oversized silly head of his. Prick of the highest order.

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
So it was a “Carslile” Murphy type sledge about Bastonac and Perry’s sister (allegedly)?
Pretty pathetic from Zorko.
Also felt the same about the StKilda player at the time.

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
I feel the same way about a lot of things that the St Kilda players do when compared to opposition - but why is it ALWAYS that we take the soft option and bow to pressure when no-one else does?????D.B.Cooper wrote: ↑Sun 21 Aug 2022 1:12pmSo it was a “Carslile” Murphy type sledge about Bastonac and Perry’s sister (allegedly)?

I firmly believe that the Murphy incident was a show of weakness that we did not just stand up and say "White Line Fever" and get on with it - our stance showed NO SUPPORT to the players

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
Personally I would have graded it worst than Murphy incident. It was just grubby and juvenile and not even based on anything real. (Allegedly)D.B.Cooper wrote: ↑Sun 21 Aug 2022 1:12pmSo it was a “Carslile” Murphy type sledge about Bastonac and Perry’s sister (allegedly)?

But I promise this, if I was in Perry's shoes, I would have caught up with him in the carpark for a short chat.

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
No not sure, but don't want to expand on the story I heard. In any case I believe there is a difference between what zorko claims he said and what Petty heard.saynta wrote: ↑Sun 21 Aug 2022 2:16pmAre you sure?D.B.Cooper wrote: ↑Sun 21 Aug 2022 1:12pmSo it was a “Carslile” Murphy type sledge about Bastonac and Perry’s sister (allegedly)?

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
From the huns FF,
"2. Zorko the grate
"The sledge by Dayne Zorko to Harrison Petty was something like this: I hope your mother dies. It’s far from ideal and the response from the teary Petty naturally sent Melbourne and the AFL into immediate investigative mode and the Lions into immediate apology mode, first on the ground on Friday night and again on Saturday morning via a press release. Zorko is a classic case of white line fever. It is said he is a decent bloke off the field, but on it, and as we’ve all seen, he becomes crazily competitive. Still, hoping someone’s mother dies prompts several questions. 1. Who thinks about saying that to anyone, in any environment? 2. Just because Petty wanted the issue to go no further, why didn’t the AFL punish the Lions captain for conduct unbecoming? 3. Why hasn’t the AFLPA condemned Zorko for his comments? Because if a fan said that to a player via social media, the PA would have kittens. It was appalling from Zorko and there’s no chance he will be captain of the club next year. As for the AFL, they will have their reasons for not punishing him, but they can’t let it go. How can this possibly go unpunished?"

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/afl/a ... tears.html
Assume Petty's mum is suffering a serious illness...
Dorko has long been a disgusting sledger, typical of a short feller who wants to look tough to make up for his lack of height!
Time to get rid of the inferiority complex, but at 33 it's probably too late now.

Lions should retire the low life and the AFL should be ashamed of itself.

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
From what I understand the sledge was about his sister and not his mum and had zero to do as to whether she dies but was of a personal nature

Definitly his mother and not his sister.
Several journos have claimed the deadshit said "I hope your mother dies". The reason for the tears.

Re: AFL not investigating Zork
The reason it went no further than the clubs is because the Petty family asked that it not become something that dragged on all week and everything got dredged up again. Which I reckon is fair enough. Then again - if this was say, round 6 - I reckon Zorko would've been made an example of by Brisbane.
What a vile turd he is. I'm glad he's been unilaterally slammed and outed for being the grade A grub that he is.
