Rumour Marc Murphy upset/targeted ?

[StCicatriz]

Oh please, you make it sound like Carlisle was unconscious. He was hunched over and Murphy was in his ear for less than a second.

hunched over?

carlisle was lying on the ground in the recovery position from a hit to the sack and an elbow to the head

i think its great murphy finally showed some back bone and stood up for himself maybe next time he can do it when the opposition can look him in the eye. pathetic stuff really. but with murphy who's really surprised?

 

[ManOfClay]

please tell me you're not referring to the clay smith incident where monty went up to wish him well?

More an incident involving a blonde st kilda key forward and an injured Richmond defender

Read some absolute crap about this. Two flogs, Carlisle and allegedly Carey create a shit storm over somebody else's private life..........ordinary humans. If you ran around and HARASSED somebody at work like that you would be fired in two seconds. The football field is Marc Murphy's workplace and a few complete jerks need to step into the 21st century.

Ohhhhhh I see it's his workplace.

Well he should probably have a chat to HR about all those people that physically assault him everyday on the job.

Seriously, people that can't recognise the difference between a competitive sport and what amounts to day to day for the rest of us need to put their chai lattes down and smack themselves in the face.

Murphy is a whiny little bitch, and a complete embarrassment of a captain.

Matter of fact, if I were an opposing side, i'd be looking long and hard at how pissy Murphy gets when you talk about ****ing his missus and be at him from the first bounce every game going forward.

 

[Run n Spread]

And do you honestly give a ****?

How did we seriously get to a point where potentially causing offense is a hot topic...

Not really. But that is the great "unwritten rule" apparently. But let me see if I can sort it out:

Racial Abuse - Out Possible suspension

Religious Abuse/calling someone a terroist - Out

Abuse on Sexual Orientation - Out

Calling Someone a fu*** ****** - Out, Heath Shaw apology the template.

Sledging someone allegedly about their family/wife - Very much in and fair game. (Unless it is of course about their children in which case you can belt someone behind the play and the tribunal will let you off (Des Headland).

Sledging someone back - Acceptable

Sledging someone while injured - Unacceptable

Any other abuse is fair game until society deems it otherwise or the great unwritten code changes.

Awwwwww look at you, internet hero.

How do you know I've never played a game of football.

And this comment was even more pathetic than the last.

Teams that are completely outplayed often lose the tackle count - mainly because they aren't chasing their opponents as often.

I'm m no internet hero. It's just so obvious when people like you call out footballers that you are not a footballer of any kind of standard.

If you lose the game AND you lose the tackle count then you know a side is not having a crack. If you're close to 20 tackles ahead on the count you might be being second to the ball but at least when there's a contest you aren't shirking it you are still playing physical.

There's no evidence for us being soft so I called the guy out on his bullshit. End of.

Excellent logic. So you're saying the guys with no proof against them should be fired... but the guy who is shown on camera harassing someone who is incapacitated shouldn't be?
If someone is bullying you in the workplace be a man and stand up to them. Don't wait for them to be lying on the ground to run over and mock them.

Actually no, what you did is claim Carlton went in harder than St Kilda - a claim easily refuted because you were well beaten in most areas of the game.

And I, like most guys of my generation and cultural background played football all through my school years and a few beyond that. Not that it really matters, because you having a sob and saying I've never played a game of footy honestly just showed how weak and pathetic your posting is.

They did go in harder, it was their physical play that kept them in the game despite St Kilda being a superior side talent wise. Tackles can be used as an statistical indicator of "having a go".

Rank amateur.

To be fair he was criticising Carlton's failure to fly the flag for Murphy prior to the melee, as opposed to highlighting any deficiency in their attack on the football.

 

[Jade]

No they didn't.

And the scoreboard that showed St Kilda in front at the final siren supports that.

They chased tail all day - that's why they won the tackle count.

If they were going in harder they may have won the clearances, the contested count, and hell, the game.

But they didn't. They lost because they were outplayed and out-hustled.

And then their captain had a tantrum because people were mean to him.

 

[StCicatriz]

captain gets sledged and is reportedly furious, just wears it, does nothing. player who sledged him goes down injured and is non-responsive, suddenly he finds some courage and starts giving it back. he gets mobbed and goes to water. injured player goes off, comes back on.

does the captain come back and let him know all about it again... NOPE!

goes into his shell, doesnt say a word, does nothing

siren goes and he's so timid, he doesnt go near any of the saints players and effectively hides behind some team mates, because he's sooooooo angry or upset or what ever

and you wonder why opposition supporters have criticised him for being soft over the years. i've defended him in the past but cmon you cant defends his actions on this one. he's basically been confirmed as a faux tough guy. the sooner carlton find another captain the better.

and you wonder why mick malthouse was referring to murphy as a "good young developing captain" despite murphy being in his late twenties. i was shocked when i hear that as i assumed murphy was in his young to mid twenties, given his demeanor. simpson would be a better choice.

he's the complete opposite of geary, bad captain that can play football

 

[d-mac3276]

My understanding is it involves the best player to ever grace the football field.

Gary Ablett Snr still has it with the ladies aye

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

jobe has put up with 10x worse. he still looked players in the eye and shook their hands. he still fronted up to the media.

i have a lot more respect for jobe than i ever will for murphy

i wonder what he ever did to deserve it 10 times worse?

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Does anyone know for sure that Murphy hadn't already had words with Carlisle, or any other St Kilda player(s) for that matter, at any stage before Carlisle went down? A lot of people are calling Murphy weak on the basis that he said nothing until Carlisle got hurt, but is it possible that he had been giving plenty back all match and this 'incident' was just a continuation of that?

 

[Jade]

He was also best on ground - ya know, when it counted.

Unlike Murphy, he waits until his opponent is on the floor before responding, and watches his team get beat all over the ground before getting pissy and not shaking hands.

Displaying emotion =/= weakness

Being weak = weakness

 

[StCicatriz]

wont see me arguing that. murphy has more talent than geary. geary is a soldier though and a great captain. he wont shirk a contest and go hide when it gets too tough, until he thinks he has the better position

i've defended murphy when his softness was brought up but now i cant. its basically been confirmed and the worst part for carlton is you have a bloke who's message and example is "when it gets too tough and things are going against you, just hide and not deal with the situation. but when its on your terms and you think you can get a weak one in, go for it"

its literally the complete opposite of how i viewed carlton growing up. i remember them being a big strong club, well lead.

i dont agree with jobe or essendons actions but you cant question his courage and ability to deal with adversity

he seriously pushed through some pretty tough times. you'd excuse him for just giving the game away.

murphy isnt 1/10th of the leader or captain that jobe is

 

[StCicatriz]

thats not the point i was making. my point is how you lead in difficult situations and how you deal with adversity. murphy is as soft as they come.

 

[Jade]

Outside of BigFooty you'd struggle to find anyone that would disagree with you - it's a ridiculous comparison.

 

[Coathanger]

Look it is a combative game and nobody expects players to be silent. But there are many other competitive areas in life.

Shout and yell all you like. Sledge for Australia. Just if you go out of your way to personally insult someone else and personally target someone you can expect a reaction back. The reaction may not be of your choosing. Live by the sword die by the sword. Tough shit for Carlise (if he did sledge) just like it was for Selwood years a go orback in the 80s the players who abused the Krakours or the Dees player Chris Lewis bit after copping it for years.

Is that you Bruce?

Yes of course you are right. Murphy has done some terrible things and is a bad role model for younger players. Just enlighten me on what they are again?

 

[Smoocher]

Wouldn't expect any less from a drug cheat.

To the neanderthals who had a crack at my previous comment, the football field is Marc Murphy's workplace and he is protected by the LAW against harassment. It is not open slather once you walk onto the sporting field with regard to workplace bullying issues. It won't happen this time but somebody will challenge this legally in the years to come. Some of you need to get a life and stop whipping yourself into a frenzy over what should be common human decency. The AFL and the clubs are also liable if they are aware of this and ignore it.

 

[blackcat]

Love how those guys rewrite history.

Yes the game needed to be cleaned up and for most part they support it but at the same time they have completely re positioned their character and image. To protect their brand. At least Carey is honest and doesn't pretend to be someone else.

As to the shagging thing. So what? It is his private life. If I go up and insult someone or berate them about their lives in the street or at work I'm out of order. Why on a football field?
