Gees, everyone seems to have lost their sense of humour.

I have no issue with getting him, but lets be honest, if this is the best trade week brings up for us, I'd be pretty disappointed.

I have enough connections at Collingwood to know that Lumumba is not an easy fit at any club, and comes with his own unique set of problems.

Doesn't mean I don't want him to succeed and do well, and of course I'll support him in a Melbourne jumper.

If we trade Clark for him though, I'd feel like once again Collingwood get away with bullying a poorer club.

Amazing amount of bile here for someone who wanted to take a moral stance about material that was clearly anti-gay. Just because you complain about such discrimination doesn't make you a 'nutter', 'sc

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

Funny ...even Roosey referred to him as Harry !!

Curse these All-Australians just nominating where they want to go! Oh...

Seriously - I'm very happy with this. A durable, experienced, quick defender who takes the game on. Clark for Lumumba, and a swap of third or fourth round picks (Stretch pending) if that's needed to get it over the line.

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.

actually...we just need a dozen blokes who CAN play a decent bloody game of a good brand of footy !!

welcome H

need 11 more now :)

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.

good post bud

Absolute rubbish

I know for a fact being good friends with a Collingwood player the guys absolutely love H. They respect his views in life and is a genuine leader with the players especially the young ones as he does alot of off field work with them.

He is also a pretty intense trainer and professional in his recovery.

Players will be absolutely devastated that H is leaving and this will be a big win for us. Our player will come to love him and respect him.

Also massive respect for H to choose us over north. Could of went to a club that was a game away from a grand final yet he chose a club thats been the bottom 4 for the last 8 years.

I have more respect for him the Mitch Clark and Tom Scully.

I will take Labamba all day. He is a proven good player. If his biggest issue is being easily offended then who cares. Hopefully we can get it done with not much sacrifice. I would be happy to give Pies MC if we could upgrade a draft pick as well in the deal.

I am genuinely very happy about this.

Despite him not being the best kick in the league, he has something we are crying out for. Which is some serious drive and willing to take the game on from the backline. We are so stagnant and one dimensional with our hitting up options target, it will be great to see how Roos implements Lumumba's running and drive to shake up how we transition the footy.

I'll put my hand up as one who didn't want him, have concerns about causing dressing room unrest, but he has upside and is improvement on Terlich, Strauss and Grimes off HBF. In Roos I trust as a coach who has the ability to appease players from varying backgrounds with varying character traits and get them to gel.

I'm pleased an AA has nominated us as his club of choice, anyone who wants to wear the red and blue is someone I'm prepared to give a go, so if the deal gets done welcome aboard H

Also interesting that we were apparently chasing Malceski all season. H is a similar player, and 2 years younger. Win.

Of course a win win would be nice, Malceski Hogan Lumumba half backline would be excellent. (With Tex At FF).

He's a very consistent, premiership footballer at the peak of his physical and experience curves. He has very high professional and ethical standards (which is why he would appeal to PR), and if his adherence to those standards gives a few others the irrits, then too bad for them. An excellent get, if he comes.

I said earlier in the thread i didnt want him but i was being a bit silly in those posts as they wre just basd on his perceived personality flaws and how that would fit in the locker room

Would be great to have him coming off half back for the Demons and would be a massive upgrade on what we have now

Was surprised to see hes still only 27 too

Sorry about that Chief, I hope I wasn't out of line with that comment about our newest recruit Heretier.....

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
