Brisbane veteran Dayne Zorko was left fuming after an AFL nemesis escaped punishment for what he claimed was a squirrel grip tackle.
It was during the third quarter of Saturday’s southern Queensland derby when Suns star Touk Miller grabbed hold of his opponent and brought him to ground.
But Miller’s right hand grabbed hold of the most sensitive part of Zorko – whether it was intentional or not, only the tackler will know.

Zorko responded with fire and the pair got into a scuffle, before the umpire blew his whistle and they were forced to separate.
Audio from the moment reveals Zorko yelling, “He just grabbed my f—ing nuts”, and replays clearly proved his allegation.
But Miller escaped any sanction from the match review officer.
Speaking on SEN radio on Monday, Zorko questioned how such an act could go unpunished.
“It’s interesting, you’re allowed to grab the groin region now and squeeze it and do whatever you want to it,” Zorko said.
“So that’s an interesting rule that’s been cleared by the AFL.

“It’s quite interesting that (he) got off. We had really good evidence to support the case.
“I tell you what, my groin region is quite bruised at the moment. It’s funny how that all happens.”
Zorko pointed out the AFL must be consistent in not punishing similar incidents in the future.
“They’ve set the precedent now,” he said.
The Suns won the fiery derby by 41 points, causing a boilover against the more fancied Lions.
