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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
