Lumumba can play, we should be able to get him for our Clark pick.

I wouldn't give up pick 19 for Harry though, not in this draft.

I think Goddard could slip to 19, has more upside than H.

    just watched heritiers speech.

    I think his message might have been misinterpreted by many.

    He was talking about how times are changing and how he felt he and the club had made good decisions and developed good morals in this changing community etc.

    I think the translation of his name part was just suggesting he believed that his morals were sound and not necessarily having the last laugh as opposed to Collingwood fc getting the last laugh.

    I thought he meant he and those that shared the same morals and doing what is right, would have the last laugh as opposed to those that are perhaps racist, sexest, or generally discriminating getting the last laugh.

    that was my take anyway.

    If it wasn't something like that then it doesn't make much sense.

    I like your interpretation better than mine. Think I'll cut him some slack and go with yours, and hope he doesn't prove us wrong.

    supposably jonesys giving away the 2# jumper to harry, already has it on his twitter account. looks like a lock.

    Have a look at H and Ricky Nixon in a twitter battle.

    People might have the different opinions on Lumumba but Nixon is a dead set [censored] and Harry O doesn't hold back in what he thinks of him lol.

    Good on H for standing up to that F witted [censored]

    Cannot believe the sh it people spew out towards another person on twitter. The abuse I don't understand.

    So who here is responsible? C'mon, own up! You even stole my incredibly poor 'Artist Formerly Known as Harry' joke from earlier in this thread.

    Pretty sure that twitter account is fake.

    Ricky nixon accounts might not be real either.

    His fb account was on the melb demons fb page commenting on a heap of stuff and 'liking' a ridiculous number of posts.

    I find it hard to believe its his account.

    Great point here. But it's the African in him - and probably the Brazilian too - that makes him tend to dial it up rather than down.

    Yes, Anglo-Aussies do feel more comfortable to "dial it down", or to talk themselves down a bit. But most Africans I know think that's just a bit odd, and they find it difficult to get used to as it strikes them as being uncertain or even deceptive about what you're saying, "like you don't really mean it".

    To some extent, what we might interpret as "getting ahead of yourself" is not uncommon for Africans. They see it not as boasting or big-noting yourself, but as just standing up for yourself.

    It's just something we'll need to get used to. The two times I've met him, HL came across as very humble & self-effacing face-to-face, and a great bloke. And he does a fair bit for African young people, with no fanfare whatsoever.

    thats interesting Akum, after getting counselling & anger management, where I learnt to speak rather than ACT, to become more 'verbal', I find his talk perfectly normal, from that speech.

    And I saw No big noting in it what so ever; but rather a man who feels his past, & 'his people' are downtrodden, & he has a distaste of the injustices...

    I for one think its fine the way he thinks, & he wanted to 'Air It', obviously after an unhappy separation from the Pies.

    Welcome to the Dees Heritier.

    The beginning of his speech would've resonated well, talking about Collingwood's history and origins as a working class club that assisted society's least fortunate. I just think he did himself a bit of a disservice with that line at the end about the gifted prince having the last laugh. It was a strange punctuation, and a strange note to leave on.

    But given it was to a room full of Collingwood faithful, I took some enjoyment from it. :)

    E'd has been running thru that club the past few years trying to 'CleanUp' the place, from the cheer-squad a couple of years back, to now it seems going thru the list with Buckley ?

    They have given many the chop, from their cheer-squad, & the Players recently.... I sense a tone from Heritier's speech of standing up for himself, his pride (head held high), & defending his Self Esteem, & of his origins.

    Are they starting to get snobby over there, bigheads ???

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
