Is playing well... Does a lot of the ball & provides good leadership.... As supporters we expect too much from premiership players from other clubs.... Remember they are 1 of many good players in other teams lists who play their role...

He is playing in the midfield because we don't have enough players who can run from goalsquare to goalsquare.

Playing a role and is a leader at the club- has demonstrated this leadership on field and the players speak glowingly of him off field.

He is playing somewhat out of position, but he has a bug body and some dash- two things we desperately need in the middle.

His defensive efforts are fine, but he's struggling to impact in attack. He's being asked to carry more of the burden of ball-winning and creating than he's used to and I think it's weighing on his mind a bit.

Nah, he's playing exactly like he did at Collingwood. Shows dash but ultimately there's going to be a long kick to anywhere or a bad one two handball attempt.

At Collingwood it could end up looking good or go unnoticed if it didn't because they were a good team.

He's an average player with a big profile that looked good in a good team.

Now he's an average Melbourne player.

Collingwood knew that if he could find the ball he was going to run like hell and bomb it as long as he could. And they were ready for it and exploited it. We don't.

That's not to say he isn't in our best team, just that the blokes on the other end of the roost will decide how good or bad he will look from it. What he does hasn't changed.

PS - A Collingwood supporting friend - and I may have said this here already, so appols if I did - calls him One Speed Harry. I love that name. Sums him up well. And not just when it comes to footy.

He's been awful for the most part. Coasts along at half pace, trailling his opponent by 5 metres and as soon as he takes possession he can't wait to slam the ball wildly on to his boot or give off a hospital handpass.

He's clearly not accountable enough to play as a genuine defender, and doesn't find the ball enough to play midfield. After Howe gets dropped, Lumumba is next in the firing line for me.

Why anybody thought he was worth more than $300K a year is beyond me. I'd rather give that money to Garland.

Given we basically swapped him for Clark, I'm quite satisfied with our end of the deal.

I think H is in our Top 10, and brings a lot more to the team than what we (supporters) observe for 2 hours every week.

Downhill skier, always was. He's a massive liability when we're losing, but when we're winning he's an asset. Another "cherry on top" player like Watts.

Yes dc, you'll see me at the footy with my well manicured Ned Kelly beard sipping on boutique beer, yarn-bombing the goalposts at half time

Did you know VB recently came first place in a boutique/craft beer contest run by hipsters.

They cleverly made new labels and came up with a new name however simply used VB.

The hipsters weren't happy saying if they knew it was VB they wouldn't have voted for it...classic.

5.5 out of 10

I hope the Prince lives up to his word and has the last laugh on Monday.

H has been a valuable leader on and off feild. Been playing OK but would like to see some better decision making. I know he likes to play on but he very often takes on too much, which mostly results in holding the ball or a turnover. He also rushes his kicking. However I don't want his intensity to drop off. He is still providing that bit of punch off the backline.

Anyone else noticed that he runs up to just about every dees player who kicks a goal? says something right in their ear. Good to see this level of encouragement. I noticed it a lot in the dogs game. Then he runs all the way to the backline for the bounce.

Not true

Was a satirical story

VB tastes like Cats..

he's a 1 trick pony, and opponents are all over him, Pies were right to let him go

Has to do more. If he's playing in the midfield he should be getting 20+ possessions, we're only seeing cameos rather than consistent efforts

Was just a bit of fun Jabber.

Have a Vaucluse Bitter and lighten up!
