News AFL drama as Brisbane Lions star attacks Mason Cox’s eyewear

[Underarm]

Definitely a fine, and a missed free kick.

But for someone who knows the risks involved with getting into unnecessary scuffles, Cox sure loves a fight. Dude has to take better care of himself.

 

[SC_Power]

Was the dirtiest thing I have seen on a footy field and I have seen one game of football.

… and I’m reckoning you didn’t watch the whole thing

 

[Hoops]

I can't believe Cox didn't get a 2nd shot at goal

 

[Obeanie1]

Dog act by a known dog, hardly surpising the punters have their anti pies/cox hat on ITT though. Should be a week.

Bloke is forced to wear goggles due to an eye injury, you cannot have players dragging their hands over their face or trying to rip them off, that's obscene. We all good with stomping on blokes with foot injuries or kicking players with leg injuries? Look past the jumper/player

And Maynard ended Brayshaws career with a stupid unrealistic attempt to "spoil" and instead polaxed Brayshaw in rhe head.

Got nothing. B b b but the AFL then closed that so called loophole.

Pies do a fair amount of whinging after losses. Got Rankin suspended. Now want Zorko gone as well.

Considering the rub of the green Collngwood get at their 14 games at the MCG its a tad meh really.

Zorko v Cox is a Flog-Off if ever I've seen one.

and Collingwood...

Literally, nobody gives a ****

 

[maskmcgee]

Cox is a walking laughing stock. The weakest player in the game. Every time he has any impact on the game he finds the smallest guy on the ground and tries to start a fight with him. He's a disgrace to the sport and nobody could care less what happens to him.

 

[Plugger35]

Zorko v Cox is a Flog-Off if ever I've seen one.

Add Bailey Smith into the mix and it could be a 3 way Flog Off.

It wouldn't surprise me if Zorko and Smith have a tangle in the GF.

Maybe Zorko will try to steal Smith's headband and then Smith retaliates by shoving the ball in Zorko's face or flipping the bird.

[Bunk Moreland]

AFL needs to eliminate goal kickers going after players (Cox) and pushing players on the ground after they have been tackled (Maynard) as well.

Absolutely despise this taunting shit. And then throwing themselves to the ground to try to get a free when the reaction comes.

You see it copied in junior footy a lot. It’s terrible stuff. Cowardly behaviour by blokes who know they won’t be punched for it like they would’ve been in the old days.

 

[Chucky_23]

Have you seen my baseball??

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Should be fined and move on

Oh wait, he's in the gf against next week. Nah 1 week ban

Oh hang it's Zorko? Life ban please

 

[bigfarter]

… and I’m reckoning you didn’t watch the whole thing

Correct. I soon became distracted when my owner started throwing a frisbee around for me to catch.

 

[Mentallo]

Agree with what some have said don’t f*** with people’s eyes / face under any circumstance but also don’t try make up for your very very very limited lack of ability by trying hysterically to try play the tough guy every time you get a game.

Yep fine them.. just as bad as flopping

 

[Cleavy]

fined

[rye]

does this really need a dedicated thread

 

[Blues_Man]

I love watching cox play, it's funnier than Life of Brian. Re sign him please Collingwood

 

[SSSSSS]

Zorko should get 4 weeks for ableism.

The little pest just physically abused a disabled immigrant.

Seriously this has to stop.. He almost lost his vision in 1 eye due to eye gouging and Zorko is deliberately sticking his fingers in is face and ripping his goggles/glasses off and then runs off laughing like a school girl.

it 100% should have been another free kick on the night but the AFL have to step in because Zorko isnt the only player that has done this.. I mean didnt Richmonds player get a free kick just for someone taking off his sweatband?

I thought it was funny, Cox initiated it so all fair, play on.

 

[Pistol Night]

Surely Coxy can just grab another pair for $19.99 at a servo on the way home

 

[Pistol Night]

Zorko has always been a dickhead though what does anyone expect

His punishment should be having to wear the glasses in the GF

 

[Chronz]

Tampering with a medical aid device should be a suspension. Give him a week off to think about his actions.

 

[delta_magpie]

Zorko fined 5k or $3,125 for early plea

But we all know Zorko sitting at home saying "worth it, i would do it again for 5k"

Hopefully we see some headbands go flying next week
