The Age is reporting the The Prince was detained for 4 days in the Congo but has now arrived safe back in OZ due to some mix up with his visa. He was there for a wedding. I assumed he was training at the camp, seems not. Apparently all is well.ย

Mustn't have paid the obligatory fee to the immigration officials to ensure smooth passage.

Really really not worth a thread, but I guess it's the offseason...

This is confusing (at least to me) - there's a pic of Lumumba doing leg strengthening exercises at the camp on Sunday 17th on the MFC website and he's now arrived home 4 days late from the Congo on the 26th. Hardly seems time for a return trip to Africa with a wedding thrown in.

Nothing surprises me anymore Earl. I reported in another thread that I fear the world is passing me by. Perhaps the Prince was undergoing his personal training regime in an environment that is even more testing than the beaches of Queensland.

Possibly left the camp a few days early for Africa in the hope he could be back withinย 4 or 5 days.

Hope he had his vaccinations - knowing our luck he will introduce Yellow fever into the team.

What a nothing story. He didn't do anything wrong, the club didn't do anything wrong, and nothing bad happened. A classic example of the media trying to make something out of absolutely nothing.

Also for the record: He wasn't "detained" in the DRC, he was denied entry while a visaย misunderstanding was resolved. Very different things.ย

Added last paragraph

Not having a go at the OP but this isn't even threadworthy. He did something that happens everyday and i am sure most of us have had Visa mishaps or passport complications. Typical scum media who have nothing better then to dramatize a very small issue.

What annoys me even more and why i have a pure hatred for media is that this also opens up unnecessary criticism on Lumumba on social media because of his past.ย 

The Age are a sick joke.

if you look hard enough you can find racism, even when it's non existent apparently.

He said it was a joke. Just let it go.

comomn, GTG,ย  don't let the facts spoil a very entertaining fantasy thread .

No he wasn't detained, but why was he there anyway?

The guy has come off a woeful season, is miles behind in his preparation for 2016 due to surgery and he buggers off to Africa in the middle of the pre season.

Does he want to be a professional athlete or not? If yes (and particularly given his salary), then he should be putting in the extra yards to get fit, not going on holidays.

He was going to a wedding....sheesh. ย He wouldnt have been training at full gallop anyway.

Before you make yourself look like an absolute fool did you bother to read the article and find out the facts before sinking the boots? Obviously not..ย 

H was over there during the OFF SEASON for a wedding with his family and missed 4 days into the new season. Club has absolutely no problem with it and for your information Lumumba has been doing a mountain of work off the field in trying to get his body right. He has already identified that his 2015 was not good enough and is now working hard to prove himself.

FMD..

Why was he there? Is that a serious question?

Players are routinely given time off to attend weddings and other key life events.

Or do you think Lumumba should be punished for his poor form last year?

FFS.

This just makes me like the Prince even more.

Having worked a lot in DRC in 2015 and catching malaria and god knows what other mysterious bugs - I'm not sure I would call DRC a holiday destination. And if you attemptย to pass customs without $$$ or a protocol officer - you are bat s**t crazy !!! ย

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chancesโ€”plenty of themโ€”but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Portโ€™s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
