Wish he could've converted a few of those shots  :P

Also, is there still no confirmation on why his goal was overturned? Commentators said if they got conclusive evidence they would show it but they never did

If that happened during Hawks vs Sydney on Friday night there would have been uproar

As usual for Channel 7 went to an add break after the goal was initially awarded,  As they do they review all goals before bounce and in their wisdom decided Zorko touched the ball and awarded a behind.  As you know I am a Brisbane supporter and when they showed it the once could not see enough evidence to overturn.  Would have expected to see at least fingers bend backwards but did not. To be fair though other angles may have shown it but imo on that view definitely not enough.

for me it was pretty clearly touched, from memory Zorko's pinky moved just a little bit
