Oh yay, we are getting a prince as well as a footballer.

But seriously, 3rd round pick or later. This guy is insane.

F'N Classic.

I'm quite surprised at the dress code for the Filth B and F.

Never thought they would choose African tie.

Happy to end up doing a deal which effectively snares us Heritier Lumumba for Clark, especially when it is the Cats which get Mitch instead of Collingwood. A month ago nobody envisaged that any compensation at all would be coming from Clark's departure.

Need to understand African culture.

hes Brazilian

hes Brazilian

Not this week.

Yes!!! we have a new nick name for Harry..

THE PRINCE

I really don't see what the issue is? Here we have a person who has come from a disturbing background but has managed somehow to turn himself into a respectful person with integrity and strong values.

Yeah I love a laugh at the pathetic things in life, but here we have an afl footballer who isn't all about going to the Barkley on a sunday night trying to pull birds bragging about afl stardom. We have a bloke who sticks up for what he feels is right. Sure, he can come across a little self-righteous, but in a day and age where the youth aren't of sound moral fibre, he is prepared to be a good role model and get on the front foot to use his status as an afl footballer to try to better those who look up to him.

Anyone with an issue with a person who wants a peaceful and respectful earth should have a good look at themselves before casting rocks at someone like heritier.

This.

I don't care about his personality issues. Far outweighed by his reliable productivity over all his career so far. He will be a prime asset for us and a bargain pick up.

What the [censored] did I just watch? Holly [censored] way this guys embarrassing. How much to buy his silence?

Disagree with you on this one sweet. Rarely is it possible to put the terms "highly articulate" and "footballer" on the same page let alone when referring to one. Heritier spoke honestly and proudly and .... if that's what his name means .... so be it.

I agree with you BBO. I don't mind it

Look, I really only care about his ability on the football field, and how he helps our team .

He does have a rather high opinion of himself though doesn't he?

What was wrong with that?

The bloke is thankful that being at the club and being a footy player has allowed himself to work through some, from what I have read, some pretty hefty issues.

Good on him.

Most footy players are that self-involved and arrogant - at least he is giving it with some eloquence.

With the finger pointing he spoke like a politician.

Without it he spoke like a statesman.

Either way he has passion!

Not much more to say than wow. He's definitely from another planet, I think he means well but it can be difficult communicating with someone that has a very high opinion of his values.

This could be one of Paul Roos' biggest challenges.

[Edit] Wanted to add that in an apparently average year he still managed to finish fourth in the their B&F, rare thing for us to nab someone who is top 5 at their clubs B&F. Hopefully it's not just a ruse to push his value up!

Jeez, imagine smoking a cone with this bloke

I don't know.....declaring himself "Gifted" and a "Prince"

He is a footballer for god sake, he is not Martin Luther king, or Nelson Mandela, but I feel he thinks he is some sort of Crusader.

As long as he plays good footy that's all I care about, but I do prefer the humble types.

being from another planet just means that he would be in good company with the average demonlander

The Nelson Mandela incarnate finished fourth in their B&F.

Only one part of that sentence I care about.

Jeez, imagine smoking a cone with this bloke

He'd "wigg" you out with his words and philosophies, but at least he would share the Doritos!

He'd pack a good one too - all for the greater good of humaity.

Maybe it was just calling himself a Prince that put me off, at least he has confidence lol
