WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA

Featured Replies

Clark Out Lumumba In is fine by me. With Mitch's foot and head issues, getting a player like Lumumba is more than acceptable IMO. We thought he was gone for nothing a few months back, and Lumumba presents a much safer bet, even if he is a bit of a loon.

[censored] deal for us. Sorry but it is.

Wait for Clark to rip it up next year.

How so? Clark hasn't played a good game in over 2 years. Lumumba just finished 4th in the B&F at a club that's streets ahead of us.

I would have preferred to keep Clark but the guy is scum and Roos has made the best of a bad situation.

After today, I am fine with having Lamumba for Clark.

Less of a toss er with a stable navicular...

Honestly, that should be how we recruit these days:

Viney: "Nice to meet you kid, got some talent...so if I were to grab you here does it hurt?"

Kid: "Mr Viney, you're hurting my foot!"

Viney: "Aha! p i s s off kid. Next!"

Nasher: Toss er and p i s s o f f censored? If that is foul language then what kind of a country do we live in?

Balme saying it'll go through tomorrow, straight swap

I am making my way out of remote Africa in a few hours and not arriving back in Melbourne ( or in touch with the internet ) until Wednesday evening. I certainly hope that the trade is well and truly done by this time (in addition to the big mega trade and maybe even Frost)! Happy posting everybody until then!

You should come and have a drink with me in Addis Ababa before you leave!

Gladly to consider next time however all flights and transfers are in place and confirmed!

Ah shame, especially given none of the other Australians living over here seem to have any interest in AFL, let alone time to indulge in pre-season rumours on Demonland...

I agree Jaded, we really should be getting a pick of some.description back as well or at least a guy on the fringe at the Cats.

I just don't think we are going to be able to do this. If we were playing NHL 98, Lumumba would be rated around 80-85, Varcoe around 75, and Clark around 90 with a bandaid next to his name. Collingwood are clearly getting the worst player in the deal and I'm sure they've already been kicking up a stink behind closed doors about improving their draft position in this trade if their Beams dealings and past history is anything to go by. I'd love to get an extra pick out of it, but it'd probably be easier if we had a pick in the 30-80 range that could be upgraded rather than just a straight pick in, but we don't.

Let's be realistic here. Collingwood can't wait to be rid of Lumumba here. They have no bargaining power whatsoever and should be happy to take what they are given. Especially given that they need Lumumba off the list to afford Greenwood.

Geelong are not the sort of team to be making speculative player trades. They are keen on Clark because they think he is mentally and physically able to play decent football for them next year. If he plays regularly, and Geelong are seemingly comfortable that he will, he is clearly worth way more than Varcoe.

Geelong need to give us something extra and I hope the club stand firm in demanding a pick.

paperwork now lodged...

welcome HL !


Amazing that Geelong's announcement has Clark in a Geelong jumper, but ours has Lumumba in a Collingwood jumper. Does anybody at the club have a clue how to promote themselves?

Whos to say hes not out of the country or similar.

They should have got them all to bring their original jumpers, and then just swapped them.

They've been too busy trying to photoshop Danger and Kennedy.

Collingwood have Varcoe in a cat's jumper too.

Sweating the small things..

Give us a positive post ....just one...I'm sure there is positive post buried somewhere deep down...you can do it !

 

Done. Thank god that ordeal is over.

And we got the Prince out of it too, for essentially nothing.

Well, we have Hershey Lumumbles now... The one who will have the last laugh, the one who is blessed the one who is quite mad! But Clark is gone and I no longer have to watch that guy ruin No 11 or the dees and so forth. Welcome Hairy McCleary from Donaldsons Dairy wear the Demons Jumper and play like ya mean it.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
