Autopsy AFL 2025 First Preliminary Final - Pies v Lions Sat Sept 20th 5:15pm EST (MCG)

[Zevon]

The most obvious free you’ll see all day.

 

[bzparkes]

I don’t think that should be a free kick, since when can you not stand in someone’s way?

You can, you just need to actually look at the ball and put your arms up instead of staring directly at the player you're blocking.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Oh Zorko

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

Hot singer but over doing it (just like a goal umpire doing a score review)

I don't think anyone needed to know your opinion on her looks.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

That’s the risk to running deep into finals with old boys like Pendles and Stewart.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Poor call for mine. Zorko is standing his ground and Cox runs into him.

The ball wasn't Zorko's intention, he was looking at Cox to block his run

 

[Chism]

If Curnow got that free this forum would be in meltdown!

 

[Proeagle]

Pies with a massive home ground advantage. Be embarrassing if they lose.

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Zorko actually went at cox there, didn't really work though. Dog act going for his goggles though. Should be weeks.

 

[Madas]

Umps in early for the Pies

 

[Hayes4PM]

Soft free but Zorko is a campaignrr

Ideal outcome, Cox and Zorko both belt each other and neither makes a Grand Final

 

[LOLchie Schultz]

He got there a long time before Cox did and stood there. How is that a free-kick

 

[nylexbandit]

So Zorko should have dove out of the way?

 

[Cyclops]

Cox gets the dodgy free, misses the obvious double up

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Never disappointing seeing Dayne get his comeuppance.
Deadset campaigner of a bloke. So punchable.

 

[Chism]

You're a clown. Free kick any day of the week.

If Curnow got it???

Take off your glasses clown.

 

[nylexbandit]

He got there a long time before Cox did and stood there. How is that a free-kick

Absolute ****ing disgrace

 

[SC_Power]

Surely Zorko can't complain about that, he never looked at the ball once.

But are you allowed to just stand still?

If a player is looking to crumb a marking contest, the ball falls short and they are in the marking contest area, is it a free kick?

 

[Randomizor]

Pendles :/ don’t like to see that

 

[NeedForTheReids]

Holy shit pendles subbed out

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Holy shit pendles subbed. Thats why Hill couldn't be the sub.

 

[rdhopkins2]

The big Cox splits the middle of the sticks and the Pies draw first blood.


Cox somehow had his glasses fall down too. Interesting.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

I don’t think that should be a free kick, since when can you not stand in someone’s way?

Since forever.

 

[giggler99]

Pendles out massive loss

 

[Soggy2112]

The ball wasn't Zorko's intention, he was looking at Cox to block his run

I agree, but he didn’t actually push, bump or run into Cox. He simply stood still.

Is the expectation that he should run out of Cox’s way?
