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.

supposably jonesys giving away the 2# jumper to harry, already has it on his twitter account. looks like a lock.

People might have the different opinions on Lumumba but Nixon is a dead set [censored] and Harry O doesn't hold back in what he thinks of him lol.

Good on H for standing up to that F witted [censored]

So who here is responsible? C'mon, own up! You even stole my incredibly poor 'Artist Formerly Known as Harry' joke from earlier in this thread.

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 ???

I for one am looking forward to Prince Harry breaking lines off half back for the Red and The Blue

So is the coach.

I know for a fact that Roosy is rapt to have him at Melbourne, and I've heard the version without spin.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
