WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA


Moonshadow

Recommended Posts

Radar?

Paul Roos and Lumumba were seen at a cafe together this morning.

I'm fairly positive it wasn't about the teachings of the Dali Lama.

But I could be wrong.

Im actually surprised. Thought he'd go after his old mate Mick .

Certainly going to be an entertaining off season

Somehow dont think Bucks would care much if he went....I sense Eddie is in damage control only as far as exactly value in a trade. Not sensing the angst that these things normally generate from the Filth-hole.

Of course I get it - we just disagree on how to get there.

We should definitely be going after pretty much anybody who improves us and is willing to come. I didn't say you made the draftees point, but you'll also notice I didn't put any quote marks in. What I'm saying is that we can either pick up a whole lot more young kids and lose Frawley this year, thereby reducing our list age even more, or go after players of a similar age who are ready to go and make an immediate improvement.

I can guarantee that the only thing that will mean a quicker death for this club than being mid-table and winning a few more games is being on the bottom, waiting for the tide to turn with speculative draft picks.

We will get the Tysons and Hogans as well - it isn't as if they are going to give up picks 2 and 3 for a player like Heritier.

I think we need some run and carry that Heritier can bring but we need better foot skills that he doesn't. The age profile I would be looking at is around the 22 to 25 yo, this is where our drafting has really let us down. There will be a lot of opportunities, I think we can do better.

Take Moomba any day of the week. Gun player. Buckley has cut every player from the Collingwood list that has a personality and brought them success ( ie rat pack, wants swan gone and now Moomba). I believe Buckley has an ego complex to do such a thing. We are a cultured club with a terrible list so bring him on. If you compare Moomba to our back line list how can we not take him

I'm not a fan of HL either but if Roos thinks he can improve us then who are we to say otherwise.

Look at what Roos (& co) has done so far in getting Tyson, Vince, Cross and Salem. Also he has turned Jetta, Pedo and Dunny into really good football players to date. Who would have thought that was possible last season????

If Roos wants HL and wants him to play a different role to what he is playing ATM then I would back Roos in to achieve it.

Roos is an understanding coach where Bucks is well a fart head and that too will be a big difference for HL.

IRIT (In Roos I trust).

An established player? A bloke who doesn't think dressing up as a paedophile or one of his victims is kosher? Someone who hasn't been plucked from the VFL with questionable skills or athleticism?
THIS BLOKE WASN'T MADE FOR MELBOURNE!

A guy that threatens to walk out of a club because someone wrote "Off to the Mardi Gras boys" on a players photo

who would want to play with someone like that?

the Collingwood players cant stand him

You know that for a fact? First hand evidence? (And media reports are not fact.) All you post are broad sweeping statements h_h.

So now you believe casual homophobia is ok? No wonder g ay AFL footballers do not come out.

There might be many reasons for not wanting H on our list, but calling homophobia for what it is should not be one of them.

You should have kept your word and not posted on land again.

I wonder how many of the blokes on here who talk about HL being a cancer in the locker room were dead keen on keeping Colin Sylvia at the club once he 'finally got a preseason into him'?

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
