WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA

[Ouch! 2,250]

I was being facetious!! Nonetheless, Collingwood will accept the highest bid so the manager has a keen interest in getting a higher trade position.

BTW...his manager is Ben Niall not Paul Connors.

Yup correct, my apologies!

TBH I was actually thinking I posted this in relation to Beams, not Lumumba, not sure why though

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,562]

reported on facebook he just nominated us

[Jaded No More 68,692]

Finally get a player to nominate us as his preferred destination. Shame it's not the player any of us want.

Speak for yourself.

Speak for yourself.

Everyone moans about our D and E grade players that get a game every week. Then when an upgrade comes along we say we don't want him.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,562]

we're just not used to other club's players saying those words " I want to play for Melbourne".. Bit early for Halloween really

[beelzebub 23,254]

I do....... now...

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

In all seriousness, how do you pronounce his name?

I've heard about 1,000 different versions.

So the Collingwood rumours are true...For him to nominate us, he really is a weird individual then

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I can't hate anyone who actually wants to play for us after the [censored] some players pull on us to get out.

Welcome aboard I guess. Learn to relax a bit and think a bit before you throw it onto your boot.

Go team. #melbournelyf

[Jaded No More 68,692]

I don't have anything against getting him, but you'll excuse me if I'm not jumping out of my skin with excitement.

We need stars, and midfielders, or midfield stars more specifically. Lumumba fits none of those categories, but of course I want him to be successful at our club.

Try air-it-yay. He might give a little smile, but he won't snarl.

And it's curtains for Terlich, IMO.

It's pronounced Harry. That's what I'm going with.

Not necessarily, the Age article says he nominated us because we offered more $$. Sadly, seems to be the only way we can get 'wanted' players to come to us.

#melbournelyf

Terrible post. Here we are, a club on our knees, and we have an All Australian, premiership player nominate us over a preliminary finalist as his destination of choice. Meanwhile, players of incredibly low character like Clark are manipulating the system to leave us in the pile of [censored] we're in.

Welcome Heretier. He's prepared to play for our colors and I'll back him every step of the way. Not to mention what an actual coach like Roos will be able to transform him into.

We need a lot of things and that includes more good AFL standard players, we have the worst depth of talent in the AFL.

Wouldn't sneeze at a 27 year old All Australian premiesrhip player

If people don't want him at Melbourne and honestly think that he wouldn't add positively to our side, then those people are [censored] dumb.

[Guest]

Welcome, H

[binman 42,169]

I'd be rapt to get him. Perhaps the upside of someone with a strong moral code is that he can see the righteousness of Roos and where we are going. Oh and the fact 'the Demons were believed to have offered superior financial terms.'

But seriously, a vote of confidence and he is a good player who can carry the ball forward. As if we are in a position to knock that.

Will be the only player in the side who has been selected in an AA team. Durable too.
