WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA

[MrMoose 262]

May as well recruit Robinson and Bootsma too!

[beelzebub 23,380]

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

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

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

I suppose it's a bit of a stretch for H to walk out in the Pies under the clause Ryder is.

[picket fence 17,172]

Bootsma??? "Cro Magnon" man less the physique!

nuff said bout a nuff nuff!

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

Why does the word 'g ay' get censored on here?

In case someone thinks it means happy.

It shows where we are at when there is more talk on Heri, garlett and Robo than Tex and Danger.

[rjay 24,950]

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

K nob polishing, divisive, little princess. More trouble than what his worth. No.

You don't like him either, then?? Edited September 5, 2014 by monoccular

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.

[DeeZee 7,405]

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.

Bugger, quoted myself instead of Monocular. Sorry.

[DemonOX 8,791]

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!

[Moonshadow 17,676]

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.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,227]

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.

That's because the latter are not possible realities.

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'?
