I am just so sad. Just when I thought the affairs of Carlton could cause me no more pain (i deliberately missed watching the game on the weekend) i get dragged back in with news of Murphy.
I feel so sorry for the little guy. I so wished he would take out the norwich rising star. The moment i found out was like a sharp pain to my gut. i felt so demoralised.
Copeland deserves to be hunted next time. I will dislike brisbane and everything they represent for the rest of my life. I know that sounds over the top - but until their is some form of justice i will hold onto this grievance against that club.
Notting should have definitely got 8 weeks minimum for his attack on caracella. I know the AFL won't come down hard on their blatant attacks on the neck as it appears brisbane players never get suspended when they should. who charges in with their hip to a blokes neck at full throttle?
what a disgrace.
When Carlton eventually one day beats brisbane by 100 points plus i will feel no pity for them. not one bit. I will remember back to how i felt when i heard about murphy's injury.
You are a tool
You say you didn't even watch the game then say that "Copeland deserves to be hunted next time. I will dislike brisbane and everything they represent for the rest of my life. " ... yet you obviously didn't see the incident cause it was simply a well executed tackle .. no more, no less ... get a life
Look, Copeland is a queenslander.. and as a Queenslander he is well tutored in the art of dwarf throwing....
But youre not going to tell me that he didnt try to smash Murphy.. go back through the tape and you WILL see him attempt it about 5 minutes earlier as well.
We didnt protect him .. and we certainly didnt support him after it happened.
Sure it footy!!!... but never underestimate the psychological blow that was made by the Lions and allowed by us.
Alot of footbaLL is the mental aspect. Its about camaraderie , bonding, sticking up for your matres and looking for weak points in the opposition to exploit.
They did it.. we didnt!!!..
But thats got to have a negative impact to our season and a positive to theirs.
Their kids walk taller.. ours walk shorter into every other game coming up.
