WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA

[old dee 23,256]

we're not going to recognise the place soon !!!

That can hardly be bad bb

[Guest]

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!

they want him out

we'll take him in the psd if they want overs - ef'em

Isn't he contracted?

[daisycutter 28,727]

Isn't he contracted?

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.

[SaberFang 7,141]

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

[picket fence 15,783]

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!!

[Moonshadow 16,610]

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.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,638]

An early win for the offseason.

[Coq au vin 754]

Mitch Clark can go and f$ck himself

[beelzebub 22,724]

Didnt say it WAS a bad thing

[Undeeterred 2,908]

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

And it's curtains for Terlich, IMO.

Which is why I could never understand why we signed him up so early.

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

I did not want him, I think he is well overated and a self righteous [censored].

But if he plays fo us, I will only bag him three times a week!

once for every turnover?

[Coq au vin 754]

I've seen Harry O' Brien tear apart games. Not sure about Lamumba.

[w00dy 146]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 35,321]

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.

[thevil1 421]

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.
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE NO [censored] IDEA IF YOU THINK GETTING HIM IS A BAD IDEA.

[Deez 298]

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).
