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

Never fear, Choke is here to pick up the slack

Sad gif incomming:

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. Edited by Ethan Tremblay

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 :)

Posted

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.

Posted

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
