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

May as well recruit Robinson and Bootsma too!

Lumumba would no doubt be delighted to be accidentally sent an image of Bootsma's old fella pre match.

Precious attention seeking jerk.

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.

Odd

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

You only have to read this thread to see how decisive this character is. Not doing his cause any good at all.

Think as a footballer he is being underestimated here.

Ridiculous to put him the same basket as Robinson and Bootsma. Know who I would rather have.

All we need to do is recruit Mitch Robinson too and we will have my two most despised players in the AFL

That was meant to be divisive.

Don't disrespect him as a footballer but his loud mouth and his holier than thou attitude can only cause distractions in a team environment.

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.

Why is he divisive? Because he has a social conscience? I guess it would be better if he was more like the typical footy players getting off on gang bangs with your mates and hanging out with bikies...

Settle down.

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'?

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
