NO TROLLS Zorko Sledge Towards Petty Revealed

Remove this Banner Ad

I am pretty sure everyone knew that Zorko didn't just go up to Petty with what was said and that stuff was said each way before that. You would assume what has been said to Zorko was about what has been seen from Instagram.

I just see it as Zorko is a serial offender and now is trying to play the Victim card rather than just learn his lesson and move on. If someone crossed the line then bring it up but they have gone with vague leaks to the media to try and get the heat off.

Well for starters that story in itself is pretty sketchy. Supposedly they were already seperated.

Secondly i dont condone cheating but if why would saying shit about Daynes partner or him cheating be okay but Pettys mum wouldnt be.

PLENTY of AFL players cheat and taking the moral highground on one thing is just silly.

‘Embarrassing he’s still captain’: Zorko’s former captain tees off over star’s sledge

“In a radio interview on Wednesday, Zorko said that, when approached by a distressed Petty at three-quarter time, he wasn’t initially sure what had prompted Petty’s emotions.”

So he didn’t even realise he’d said something offensive, yet he later remembers that he was apparently provoked? Right.

I don’t see an inherent contradiction in here. You really have to want it to interpret it as such.

I think it is a bit incosistent

"I dont even remember what i said"

to

"Yeh i said some cooked shit but they also said some cooked shit".

I dont think it really matters, everyone involved has handled this like crap.

Quite simple in context.
When Petty approached him at 3/4 time he obviously didn't realise what aspect of the sledging that took place had brought about the displayed emotion, it was just sledging.
Once he realised what the fuss was about he's said it was part of the back and forth sledging. The particular comment, amongst many, obviously didnt stand out as being of significance and supports the belief that whilst a shit form of sledging, wasn't directed with any malice or prior knowledge.
 
I'm not going to defend anyone involved, because, focus on playing footballer and keep the sledging out of it guys, you're supposed to be grown professionals. They should all grow up.

But, was always a matter of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Seeing Stephen May talking to Zorko about it made me laugh. The guys talks so much shit his own teammates punch on with him, at multiple clubs.

That was a laugh. A bloke with his demeanour shouldn't be judging anyone.

I've always hated this part of the game personally. We are supposed to be moving forward as a species and as a community in general with this stuff, in all situations and to me it's something that should be addressed stronger going forward. I can genuinely see a point in time where abusing, harassing, bullying of players verbally gets actual disciplinary treatment and is added to rules. I have no doubt Dayne was somewhere near equally abused by Melbourne players. Outlawing such crap will come eventually I predict with anything said outside of sledging actual football performance being disallowed and punished if witnessed and heard. There should not be any references to any personal stuff, family members, race, sexual orientation etc on-field at all IMHO. We need to be better and at some point it will have to be "legislated" on field.

Nothing to see here then
It’s ok I’ve stopped trying to change your opinion I’d love for the same courtesy.
We have different beliefs and standards.

Okay, I'll extend an olive branch here - I don't really have an opinion about Zorko.
He's apparently rated by the club, rated by the players internally and he's been better than our last 2-3 captains (Beams being the worst of the last few in retrospect). If those boxes are ticked, then I don't really mind.

What I do have an opinion on is other fans using Zorko as an opportunity to dump on my club by straight up lying about things he's done recently, or in the past. So if we want to talk about standards, I don't talk about what I don't know about - you do.
 
Of course the Dee's players would've been giving it to Zorko. There's literally a reason why the AFL ticked off on everything and the two clubs were 'satisfied' with everything the day after. Both teams don't want to get out what was said both ways and the AFL was hoping to tuck it away and hope people forgot about it as soon as possible.

Not really lol it's just a bunch of people saying that zorkos actions are justified despite the evidence

Do we have any evidence outside of Zorko admitting that he said the reported remark?
By that metric, Zorko then admitting things were said before hand, and somewhat having that backed up by Media, is the same is it not?

Still seems pretty inconsistent to me.

"I have no idea what i said, but i probably said something that was ****ed, but if i did say it it was only because i was also getting sledged".

At the risk of a pile on ive said from the first post on here the AFL should have done an investigation and this whole "he said, he said" shit could be put to bed.

Yep, as I said after the game, I was more than happy to see 21 Dees players get into Zorko. But Steven May playing the role of moral arbiter was way too much to handle.

Their board started and spread a rumour about another of Pettys family members which has apparently caused more hurt than the zorko incident. So it isn’t surprising unfortunately.

Good point.

I’ve just gone through lists of premiership captains great club captains of your club and others for the last 20 years.
Not one of them gave up on there relationship in its infancy.
To me that shows selfishness an inability to put others first and lack of honour to a commitment
It shows in the way lions play.
I’m sure Zorko is a great mate
Guy.
My two points
I have no problem with one man calling out another man’s personality or behaviour to their face.
I don’t believe a person with that standard is a good captain.
I loved Hayden Ballantyne but he would never be a captain.

Couple of things:

1. With his relationship, once again you are making claims that only they would know and we can't know. When you talk about his "relationship", are you referring to Zorko's ex or his son?

If you are referring to his son, then my previous point about Lewis being in a lot of media (a lot of this being unplanned media like training and Lewis showing up unexpectantly) still stands.

If you are referring to his ex, Lewis was (at most) 3 years old at the time of separation. By using logic and common sense, this means that they would've been together for at least 3 years prior. They had also bought a house together (this is mentioned in the video I supplied).

So how is this a "Relationship in it's infancy"? I'd seriously doubt you would have a child and buy a house if their relationship was at this stage. It's an ignorant comment to make in regard to either relationship without more information and a lack just making stuff up.

2. I will agree with you, we have been selfish this season. However if Zorko has been captain since 2018, how is this a reflection of Zorko's influence on the playing group if we were playing very differently last season and the season before that? We went from a run and gun style of play from 2018 to 2020, then changed last year to a more kick mark game style, to this year where we started out with the same from last year, then everyone started dropping the ball.

So why would've his leadership effected the group now?

3. " I have no problem with one man calling out another man’s personality or behaviour to their face." - I have no idea what this is in reference to. Please refine what you are trying to explain.
 
Dayne Beams giving character assessments is laughable. That clown makes Zorko look like a saint which is saying something.
