What's sad is your post only had text in it...

Never fear, Choke is here to pick up the slack

Sad Batman is sad because of the thread AND lack of Song gifs.

Double sad.

PS Song is my hero. I want to be just like him when I grow up. I used to idolise Biffen but I think he's been taking too much of the good stuff lately and it's gone to his head. Too much good stuff isn't so good after all.

PPS I'm contributing!

PPPS No I'm not.

    Does anyone else think it's a bad omen when they mention his average of 23 games over the last 8 seasons?

    I promise you we'll cut that by 1.

    I don't know if it was mentioned anywhere in this thread already, but according to a tweet I just saw from Jack Trengove, round 1, 2015 will apparently be Lumumba's 200th game.

    Just stumbled across this, like what I saw after the 26 second mark. We could use a lot more well directed aggression like that!

    Absolutely love it. Exactly what we've been missing, hopefully not a once off.

    That's good stuff from Harry. Standing up to two of the biggest gorillas in the game. Shame he wasn't around when Pederson got clobbered by Merrett.

    yeah he does. How big a deal do we make about it. I mean he will be running out having not played a senior game yet. Do we just stick it on the banner and say yep 200 games is a good milestone.

    Anyway im looking forward to seeing what he brings to our backline. At least he is a runner so we may get it out of the 50 quicker.

    I'm most impressed by the fact that he effectively shepherded for a teammate. You don't see that very often at MFC.

    That's because our players are collectively sheep.

    And we don't have the ball very often, looks silly shepherding your own teammate from tackling the opposition

    Actually we do have the ball quite OFTEN, it's just what we do with it when we get it. We can win it all right but ...

    He is definitely marches to the beat of a different drum but I have never had a problem with him. I don't take to some of his preaching but he doesn't go out and get himself messy, he doesn't go out and get punchy, he doesn't dummy spit on the ground. He seems to me like a a good team player and will mentor our younger players well on how the game needs to be played.

    I am really looking forward to him in our colours and have zero problem with him being part of the leadership group - irrespective if he is or isn't it will not stop him being a leader as he has apparently already shown at training.

    Lol. I'd walk away from the game if we recruit this tool. Deadset douch

    Gee there is some prime posts in this thread ha ha :)

  • Quote

    you walked away yet?

    Obviously not, and I have since-in this thread- recanted that view. I can't remember too much opposition to that view, at that time though.

    That's what I like about Harry, he doesn't buy into the group think.

    The rest of the league is scared of Hall and Brown, but Lumumba just isn't seeing it, and both Hall and Brown backed down once they seen Harry wasn't intimidated.

    Barry Hall and John Brown are cut from a completely different cloth to a guy like Wayne Carey, Ablett Jr.

    Hall and Brown are all puff and bluff when it comes to throwing down, wheras Ablett and Carey would throw down, could throw down - and didn't care who it was.

    I knew Barry Hall was never going to get in the boxing ring. He'd of been pressured to fight someone who hit back - and not blokes like Staker who aren't looking.

    • 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?
