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

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

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.

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

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

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.

In all seriousness, how do you pronounce his name?

I've heard about 1,000 different versions.

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.

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

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
