Who the heck is S.Beaumont!!

Not sure if being sarcastic, but probably fair enough if not.

Simon Beaumont. Came from Carlton and played 27 games for us. Was a backman.

Sort of

My brother is a Hawks fan and I remember this match pissing him off no end. The Hawks hadn't beaten Essendon since 1997, Hawks got close on this day and the Bombers arsed the win with the contentious goal. The Hawks did however beat the Bombers the second time in season 2005...

Sammy had a quiet day!

Is this the one where Hay clearly touched an Essendon goal but it didn't get called? Cost us the game.

 

[Dewnior]

I'm tipping the margin to be quite different this time.

Think Hay kicked it through for a behind and Dean Solomon claimed it.

Was paid. I ******* hate Essendon.

His best moment for us was when he smacked Justin Murphy in the chops during the line in the sand game.

Quite amusing that Beaumont's name has arisen, when at Carlton he made a career out of beating James Hird. Got him contractor extensions and increases in salary every time.

His greatest claim to fame was having kicked 8 goals to half time once and not bothering the scorers again.

This has happened a few times.

The game where Jon Hay kicked a 'goal' for the scum.

Needed the video review back then

Yep. He kicked it off the deck from between a group of players so the goal umpire called it a goal.

100% wrong decision.

Lost by less than a goal.

Won 3 premierships since

Scum haven't won a final since then

Even the demons have won a final since then

 

[Jedstar]

I can remember exactly where I was when I heard about the result of this game, surreal.

Cheers for posting that article, always nice to have a reminder of how far we've come.

It was almost exactly same. Weird

 

[Pessimistic]

You're wrong. Essendon have won a few April premierships since then.
