Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
You dont have to have played for us, to do something we loved. We all owe Darren Milburn best wishes in retirement for 1 truly great act 10 years ago. If only the scragging Silvagni c*** had never played again, that hit would of been perfect. However the sight of his eyes rolling back in his head was probably good enough. All the best Darren, a true "Essendon" hero.

Re: Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
That incident also once again highlighted what a f***wit Justin Murphy was, had been traded from Carlton to Geelong by Carlton at the end of the previous season, but despite this, when Silvangi went down he acted like he was still a Carlton player, shaking his head in disgust and shooting dirty looks at Milburn etc.
He was gone from Geelong by the end of the season, the players there wanted nothing to do with him after he clearly sided with the opposition instead of his teammate.
Still make me sick that the useless, pathetic, soft squib ever pulled on a red and black jumper. Funny thing is the tool probably feels that he is a former Carlton player, despite the fact they kicked him out of their club on two separate occasions.

Re: Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
Haha....footage of him running to the bench and clapping at Carlton supporters who were abusing him was hilarious. He almost incited a riot!

Love to know what penalties would have been handed down in today's "rules".

If you use Lloydy's hit on Sewell as a benchmark, 12 weeks would not have been out of the question.BenDoolan wrote:Haha....footage of him running to the bench and clapping at Carlton supporters who were abusing him was hilarious. He almost incited a riot!

Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark
Re: Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
Was a dog act. Murphy saw abloke he had played with for years, and probably became good mates with, ironed out in a callous, cruel and cowardly snipe! Perfectly understandable how he reacted. Says something about you Ealsey that you applaud the act and admonish Murphy's repsonse...or is this just another opportunity to slag off on Carlton and anyone/anything that ever had anything to do with them...ealesy wrote:That incident also once again highlighted what a f****** Justin Murphy was, had been traded from Carlton to Geelong by Carlton at the end of the previous season, but despite this, when Silvangi went down he acted like he was still a Carlton player, shaking his head in disgust and shooting dirty looks at Milburn etc.

If Sir James had been ironed out like that I am tipping you would be calling for blood!!
Re: Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
Didn't say anything about whether the hit was fair or not. Wouldn't have cared less if Milburn had copped 10 weeks for it, or if he didn't get anything for it. I cannot remember if he got suspended or not, I believe he didn't cop anything which suggests that at the time it was deemed to be within the rules.
The fact is that it's a f****** team sport, if Murphy didn't like the hit then that's fine, but for team unity, you certainly don't make it obvious on the field that you think your team-mate has unfairly belted a bloke. If you don't like the hit, by all means tell the bloke off the field after the game in private, you don't act like an opposition player in response to the hit like Murphy did.
I wouldn't expect Adam McPhee to get all sooky and narky with a Freo teammate if they happened to line up and knock out Dustin Fletcher and if he did, I would think he was just as pathetic as I think Justin Murphy was in that situation.
I also wouldn't expect to see Brent Prismall acting in a similar way if an Essendon player knocked out a Geelong player.
Even if you don't agree with the team-mates actions you at least act indifferently to them while on the field. I'm not saying Justin Murphy had to run in a remonstrate with the Carlton players that would have probably been traying to remonstrate with Milburn. Just stay out of it completely.
Really nothing f****** to do at all with the incident involving a Carlton player and a former Carlton player, you just don't react to a teammate in the manner Murphy did on the field. The fact remains that the rest of the playing list backed Milburn, while the club f***** Justin Murphy off at the end of the season.

And ironically he had a massive punch on with whichever c*** went to Hawthorn when he was with us during the line in the sand brawl.ealesy wrote:Even if you don't agree with the team-mates actions you at least act indifferently to them while on the field.

Re: Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
Milburn copped 3 weeks after pleading guilty to "charging".
To me, that hit was far worse than Michael Long's hit on Troy Simmonds in the 2000 GF
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D772QjpqD7o
I think Long copped 4 weeks for that....

That would be Simon Beaumont, his former team mate at Carlton.j-mac31 wrote:And ironically he had a massive punch on with whichever c*** went to Hawthorn when he was with us during the line in the sand brawl.ealesy wrote:Even if you don't agree with the team-mates actions you at least act indifferently to them while on the field.

Re: Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
Massive punch on is a massive exaggeration, I think Beaumont tapped him with his head (he copped a week for headbutting) and then they had a bit of a push and shove.
Ironically, Murphy & Beaumont and their missus's were meant to be going out to dinner that night, which promptly got cancelled.

They were also both sitting next to each other at the game.ealesy wrote:Massive punch on is a massive exaggeration, I think Beaumont tapped him with his head (he copped a week for headbutting) and then they had a bit of a push and shove.

Re: Farewell to a true "Essendon" hero.
hahaha...fair dinkum? that's gold...any idea if they are still mates...as Ealsey said, it was hardly a punch on...more like a massage!

Wish he was an assistant coach at essendon next year.
