WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA


Moonshadow

Recommended Posts

just watched heritiers speech.

I think his message might have been misinterpreted by many.

He was talking about how times are changing and how he felt he and the club had made good decisions and developed good morals in this changing community etc.

I think the translation of his name part was just suggesting he believed that his morals were sound and not necessarily having the last laugh as opposed to Collingwood fc getting the last laugh.

I thought he meant he and those that shared the same morals and doing what is right, would have the last laugh as opposed to those that are perhaps racist, sexest, or generally discriminating getting the last laugh.

that was my take anyway.

If it wasn't something like that then it doesn't make much sense.

I like your interpretation better than mine. Think I'll cut him some slack and go with yours, and hope he doesn't prove us wrong.

Pretty sure that twitter account is fake.

Ricky nixon accounts might not be real either.

His fb account was on the melb demons fb page commenting on a heap of stuff and 'liking' a ridiculous number of posts.

I find it hard to believe its his account.

Great point here. But it's the African in him - and probably the Brazilian too - that makes him tend to dial it up rather than down.

Yes, Anglo-Aussies do feel more comfortable to "dial it down", or to talk themselves down a bit. But most Africans I know think that's just a bit odd, and they find it difficult to get used to as it strikes them as being uncertain or even deceptive about what you're saying, "like you don't really mean it".

To some extent, what we might interpret as "getting ahead of yourself" is not uncommon for Africans. They see it not as boasting or big-noting yourself, but as just standing up for yourself.

It's just something we'll need to get used to. The two times I've met him, HL came across as very humble & self-effacing face-to-face, and a great bloke. And he does a fair bit for African young people, with no fanfare whatsoever.

thats interesting Akum, after getting counselling & anger management, where I learnt to speak rather than ACT, to become more 'verbal', I find his talk perfectly normal, from that speech.

And I saw No big noting in it what so ever; but rather a man who feels his past, & 'his people' are downtrodden, & he has a distaste of the injustices...

I for one think its fine the way he thinks, & he wanted to 'Air It', obviously after an unhappy separation from the Pies.

Welcome to the Dees Heritier.

The beginning of his speech would've resonated well, talking about Collingwood's history and origins as a working class club that assisted society's least fortunate. I just think he did himself a bit of a disservice with that line at the end about the gifted prince having the last laugh. It was a strange punctuation, and a strange note to leave on.

But given it was to a room full of Collingwood faithful, I took some enjoyment from it. :)

E'd has been running thru that club the past few years trying to 'CleanUp' the place, from the cheer-squad a couple of years back, to now it seems going thru the list with Buckley ?

They have given many the chop, from their cheer-squad, & the Players recently.... I sense a tone from Heritier's speech of standing up for himself, his pride (head held high), & defending his Self Esteem, & of his origins.

Are they starting to get snobby over there, bigheads ???

    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,
