WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA


Moonshadow

Recommended Posts

I think Lumumba will be a good fit for us. What i like about him is.. He backs himself into run and run hard and will take the game on, but also has the smarts to do so.. When we only win 4 games in a year, we cant knock back players of his talent..

The club cant get him out the door quick enough. Why?

The best clubman award is like the fundraising queen at the local beauty pageant. Gotta give the ugly girls something hey?

And how does his standing in the best and fairest make him any less of a weirdo?? Irrelevant. I would be interested to hear what the players think after he leaves, as its far easier to speak the truth when the guy isn't there any more. I suspect there will be some popping corks.

For the record, I am happy at the thought of him running off half back, and delivering FORWARD, unlike our other half backs. I just hope the guy can keep his mouth shut, before he drives anyone mad.

Sign him up, and get him in the side.

You seem like you're conflicted Faulty. And I'm right there with you. I can't stand show ponies and H is shaping up like one now - anyone who supports him unequivocally surely can't have seen the vision of his speech at the CFC B&F.

But I've been an unquestioning supporter of his until now because he can bring a skill we desperately need - run and delivery off half back.

If we still take him on, I just hope he does that without getting too much into the heads of our better players and tearing the club apart.

Look, I'll buy as many of H's pumpkin scones outside Gate 3 as it takes to get his mind and energies onto feeding the great unwashed, instead of taking his personal crusades into the change rooms.

Yes, like he got into the heads of the Collingwood players and tore the club apart.

FFS.

Righto Bing. Thanks for that. When we have the same strength of culture and resilience as CFC, I'll agree with your 'FFS'. But I reckon right now we have a much more fragile culture among the players than that.

So Lumumba is responsible for tearing Collingwood apart? Come on. He'll bring exactly what you've identified - much needed run and carry off half back.

And you think Roos and co have failed to identify this, do you? By all accounts he's a great trainer and clubman. He should add quite a bit to the MFC. When we get him we need to support blokes that actually want to come to Melbourne.

I fully agree he will add to MFC. And I'm sure the coaching panel know what they're getting into. I just want to see all of his pluses and none of his minuses if and when he comes to MFC. Maybe I'm living in fantasyland.

I saw it, and have thoroughly failed to understand why it's got people in to such a spin.

For what it's worth Nasher, what I saw from H was "me, me, me" rather than "team, team, team".

I might be a bit too puritanical on this, but IMHO if you are going to get to the top, it's about the team first and always, not the individual.

so you just don't like him? Or you don't like how he sounds when talking, or the fact he speaks out publicly about Issues he feels strongly about. I hope your not a Kindy teacher, otherwise all your kids will sit on cold floors in the dark corner. Learning to stop whinging & just shutup.

He spoke about the club he is being kicked out of too...

He was also accepting a personal award at the time.

I think he can be forgiven for talking about himself and his motivations in his acceptance speech.

Saty's account has gone unused for nearly a month. Hope the old boy is alright.

Huge chance he's holding a candlelight vigil at Frawleys house demanding answers on why he lied. He told me multiple times Frawley told him there was no way he was leaving.

Seriously, I think the big guy needs a break from the Dee's. They must break his heart.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
