WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA

Featured Replies

Seriously, Henrietta is one player that could deter me from re signing my membership! I'd rather win 4 games. The guy is a ...........

 

I think he'd respond very well to Roos and if we didn't have to pay over the odds in trade we'd gain an attacking, hard-running, long-kicking HBF. He's not Our Sort of Chap, of course.

Walk up start. Honestly, I don't give a stuff how high maintenance he is. Let me ask, would you prefer him to Terlich?

As for you lot saying you wouldn't renew your memberships - get your hand off it.

WTF? "Our sort of chap"? Are you for real?


The capitals in Not Our Sort of Chap are meant to convey ironic intent, responding to the content of the various objections to his personality. For real.

I would sign Miley Cyrus if it would help us win games. Harry O is a [censored], but beggars can't be choosers.

I just want us to be playing finals footy again.

 

I can just see Lamumba walking down Bourke Street yelling "I WANT TO BE ALONE!!!!" into a megaphone.

Maybe our club could welcome him down by getting dressed up in Peter Allen costumes and bashing out "When My Baby".

Harry would love it.


He won't come to us. Remember Terlich and Georgiou Mad Monday.

Trust British paints.......sure can !!

Anyone got any football reasons for passing, or is it all just personal?

Don't like him as a footballer looked okay in a very good side but found out a lot as the Pies fortunes have dipped

Also his personality has somewhat of a bearing on football, unwanted attention brought on the team and the club by this absolute attention seeking princess

Edited by Pennant St Dee

As a player my only question would be does he turn the ball over too much and does he get caught going off his man too often? My gut feel is he does but need to see the replays/stats.

Otherwise he seems like he does is very good at zoning off and plenty of run it is just about hitting targets which we need.

Would prefer him coming off half back to anyone else in our side at the moment.

Grimes, Terlich, Howe, Garland... Yup like I said in our best 22.

He is easily better than any of them and one is our captain!

I think he is over rated as a player, has diminishing value and is just a pain

What a ridiculous comment!

Happy winning 10 games in 3 years with the current crew?

Robinson and Harry O would be starting 18 players and might come very, very cheap.

We're hardly in a position to say no to a player like Robinson that averages 20 possessions and a goal a game, and Harry O who provides a lot of what we don't have - run, rebound and a desire to bounce and take the game on out of the back line.

I'll be disappointed if we don't interview both.

You can be starting 18 or you can be players that really take this club forward....now which do you think these 2 are?

I would rather invest in players that are the future of this club or players like Cross who can lead to the future. Neither of these players can do this.

Anyone got any football reasons for passing, or is it all just personal?

Yep- he has no real skill, just athleticism. Just throws it on the foot with no real target or purpose. We players with foot skills.


Couldn't have said it better myself.

Btw, what exactly is a Heretier Lumumba?

Heretia Lumumba is a pathogen acquired by swimming in the Lamumba river, a tributary of the Zambesi. Those afflicted suffer from Grandiosity, Hypersensitivity and Proctalgia fugax. There is no cure.

Quoted from the Chookopedia.

Yes from me - the guy can play and Roos will be on the same page around social responsibility etc . He and Mitch Robinson would help our team on field

Yes definitely for HL. Whoever controls the steering wheel in Demonland must act on some of the rubbish comments in this thread. Pathetic commentary. Pathetic gutter dribble.

 

Neither are great footballers, neither use the ball well. Harry gets beaten one on one quite often, Robbo is just a hack, neither if we got them should be in our side in two years times.

The fact both a flogs off the field makes it much easier to say no.

They always play well against us - so maybe

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
