WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA

Featured Replies

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.

Chook had a great laugh well done! hahahahha

What's Chookopediaspeak for Total W$*&ker

 

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

we'd have to run all of our media past him for approval !!! :rolleyes:

Pros:

Would provide the attacking run we so desperately need

Has a strong , mature body, is quick. Also desperately needed

Haven't heard much from him this year. Has he finally shut up?

Cons:

He cant kick

He cant kick

He cant kick

Tool

 

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.

Irony at it's best..

Yes for sure. In case you've forgotten, we currently have melbournes playing list. None can kick. Harry/heretiririw is an explosive line breaking premiership player who is not past his prime. A running half back, wow, can't have that at melbourne, wouldn't fit in with the rest of our list. The only problem I can see is that he might struggle to adjust to not playing on from marks, and chipping backwards to a turnover rather than breaking the lines forwards and giving our forwards a chance.


Probably the most overrated player in the competition, to say nothing of his "holier than thou" attitude. I'd almost rather get Gary Moorcroft back.

Harry would definitely take offence.

If he wasn't busy boring everyone to death.

 

We need players that can kick the ball and not just bomb it forward.

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

In a team game, where one individual annoys people, is precious, creates attention and derives dirty satisfaction from drama, I do not care a hoot what their footy skills are like. They create a management headache from day dot. We have neither the skill, team strength or culture to tolerate him. Goodness, we cannot even tolerate the solid under-performers we have, much less a big stage drama like Heretier.

No.


Definitely a good fit for Carlton. They love the mentally unstable players, and there's the obvious coach connection.

We should leave no stone unturned, would have Crusty the Clown come to Melbourne if he could get into our best 22.

Heretier could get into our best 15 atm, hence we should look closely at him.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We need fotballers who can run (and not get caught with the ball often), who can hit a target sometimes (he cannot), and who are not sooks !

Most overrated saying in football we let Stevie ARMSTRONG go and he became a Premiership Player. Yes everyone wants to be one but you should be not judged on that alone in regard to your football ability right place right time and a lot of luck can be the difference. Would you say that about Cam Mooney based on his performance in the 99 Grand Final donuts all round

a) Robert Harvey, Lenny Hayes, Gary Ablett Snr, Tony Lockett, Paul Kelly, Rob Flower, Bob Skilton, Matthew Pavlich, Dougie Hawkins, Garry Lyon, Nick Reiwoldt

b) David O'Halloran, Mitchell White, Ricky Olerenshaw, Stuart Anderson, Chad Rintoul, Richard Hadley, Robert Campbell, Darren Milburne

Which players would you take at your club


Why would you bring someone into a club that has a self-centered personality? Plus he's lost his speed and isnt the best decision maker. Might be time he looks to entering polictics as thats what he's always wanted to do isnt it?

NEXT!

No.

I'd call that a footy reason, actually. :)

Probably the line breaking half back we need.

Maybe Roosy can help align his spirit.

He has the run and carry we need off half back, but he only does 2 things: 1) sprint like buggery and kick it as long as he can to the wing 2) sprint like buggery and do a dinky little 15.1 metre kick to a team mate. Too limited for mine, and his long kicking often is kicked straight back at him by opposition players who read his 2 options really well.

No for me.

Rumoured to have had a coffee with Paul Roos in Elwood this morning..


I would cancel my mebership and not go to games if this muppet or Robinson from Carlscum ever play for us.

Gorgs, you seem to offer to cancel your membership regularly.

I am surprised that your are a member, are you still a member?

How good is Herry, really? All Australian in Collingwood's premiership year when the Pies' superflood caught everyone by surprise and Mick have Herry a licence to run off half back with pretty much no opposition in the vicinity. Once he got it he banged it long into the Collingwood forward line and waited back for the ball to be roosted out to either himself of Maxwell.

Those sorts of easy kicks are a footballer's dream.

Roos would have a different idea of how he wants to Herry to play, but I doubt Herry would be up to the change.

Good kick when roosting it long. Quick when given a chance to wind up.

He's not really what we want, and certainly not at the price he would ask.

Ok, here's a saying that not overrated.

Cemented best 22 in a side that has made finals 8 years in a row. Little better than 98% of our list

 

Agree some ppl need to get over some of these players issues if they can play there in most of these players suggested are better than ours.

If he goes I suppose he will take his thinking chair with him

Could be a bonus!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
