What?!!!
Someone who is not a speculative draft pick, a VFL superstar or a depth player who can't get a game at another club?
This cannot stand! I say we go to AAMI Park tonight with loud speakers and put an end to this travesty!

it's the filth who are pushing him out

no way they would keep him now

I agree with the sentiment - that their keenness to be rid of him works in our favour - but if he's contracted then the PSD is not an option is all I'm saying.

Agreed, which is why Buckley's kind of an idiot. Roos went to great lengths over the last few months to talk up Clark and Frawley. I'm sure behind closed doors he holds very different opinions, but publicly you need to talk up the currency of your players. Works to your advantage in any trades.

if they insist on overs and no-one deals, what do you think they would do?

not play him but pay his salary?

their bargaining position is not so great

we shouldn't need to pay overs

Its like the Left and Right Ball situation.... No way known would he even consider us!

So what does he do says categorically and emphatically .. he will either go to Collingwood or stay outa footy for a year. result

Collingtoothless got him.

I think Heritier if not contracted then goes down the same path therefore rejecting each and every other overture, which sounds like what he has exactly done!

AA Premiership players don't grow on trees!!

Lumumba is contracted for next year. He cannot go into the PSD. We must do a deal with the Filth, who will most definitely try and screw us. But Paul Roos is a very smart man, do not underestimate his ability to play the game, and Taylor knows first hand how the Filth work.

That can hardly be bad bb

Didnt say it WAS a bad thing :)

Trade value will depend greatly on where Billy Stretch gets taken.

If there's no Mitch in the deal, and Billy's taken in the 3rd round, I'd expect it would probably be our 2nd and 4th round picks, for Lumumba and the Pies' 3rd rounder.

Never been a Huge fan of Harry O, but he can play...

I just hope he doesn't rabbit on like Ned Flanders every second day!!

Roos wants him so i am ok with that...All Australian Premiership Player at 27....5 years left...could be a great move.

At least he is not an injured old Hack...We have had our fair share of those.

Captain Frank Grimes will now be nervous, as he should be.

This move helps the midfield & forward line as much as the back line IMO...... Here's a bloke who can run off half back & deliver long to a one on one contest giving the forwards a bloody chance for once by bypassing the midfield completely. I wasn't a fan of Harry O or Lumumba, have always thought he was suspect defensively & a bit overrated, although he's always been better than a number of our own. But I can't shake the feeling Roos will be able to get the best out of this bloke, I'm talking career best form out of him & people will talk about what a genius Roos is for picking him up. Here's hoping I'm right!!

Harry O played his best football when Maxwell looked after his man.

He aint a great defender.

I thought it was the other way around

still can't believe people, nope sorry, MFC supporters are bagging out a 27 year old All Australian backman that wants, and i stress WANTS to come to our football club. Which i remind you has been and still is the laughing stock of the AFL.

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

ill bite, if we play hogan in the back line who is our real ff? lol

Do some people think he will be played down back? I have heard people suggest it, but i dismissed out pretty quickly.

He's been a forward for much of his career to date, rated as the best young forward out of the last 2 years drafts (last year).

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
