Lumumba Concussion

Featured Replies

Posted

Apparently suffered another concussion on Sunday after a head knock. Serious concerns being raised, albeit not by anyone inside the club as yet.

That's a blow for H and the club. 

Hopefully he can regain full health, and when he does that, needs to learn to not run around like a headless chook when he gets the ball. Watching Casey on Sunday, the amount of times he got the ball and ran straight into a couple of Richmond players was ridiculous. He has regressed, and I'm sure the concussion has not helped at all.

Yeah cos there's been none of that while he's been out....

 

 

ABC 2 TV had the same story in their 7 p.m. News tonight, Lumumba has concussion again after head knock in VFL. What is it with so many head hits this year? Brayshaw, Lumumba, have hardly played, I suppose all we can assume is the AFL and the clubs are more attuned to the issue and its repercussions so we now take it more seriously.

Shame we don't play Collingwood late in the year. Would be nice to farewell Dawes and Lumumba in front of someone who would cheer for them.

It's not personal, just the truth. Both premiership heroes and will be remember as such. Both seemingly don't have much more to offer us.

Poor form to suggest no Dees supporters would cheer for two blokes who both have tried their guts out and had their bodies let them down and end their careers.

Fairly sure the Pies supporters were still booing Dawes on QBD.

More likely it was Demonland posters....

I'm not ashamed to say that I'd cheer them. Their careers may not have worked out how we hoped, but they still gave their all for the jumper, and I'll cheer that regardless. 

Its a shame you couldn't do the same. 

So some Googling tells me that dreadlocks can't help preventing concussions...but I was gonna throw it out that his shaved head is the reason why he's getting them now

Get well soon H.L

Agree and with Heritier I think the club and him should seriously look at his long term health.

Player welfare is of primary concern and He needs to probably retire to ensure no lasting effects!

Pity!!

Ha, ha. Both premiership players a la Bourke, Vagg, Williams, Townsend etc etc and this lamentable would-abeen poster screams his penny's worth from bay 13.

Thank you Doctor Picket. Do you bulk bill?


Ah... depending on who's in power after about a month or two!! I'll let u know about that!!

He was wearing 2 gloves, probably concussed before the game.

Dubious about the level of Lumumba's concussion. Lots more going on there.

Classy post


What if the club and Heritier know he is finished... and this so called 'concussion' is merely an perception management type play... in order for it to appear he finished his career due to injuries rather than poor form.

The answer lies somewhere in more free kicks paid for head high tackles and less free kicks somewhere else but not slowing the game down. Debate away!

Pretty much answers the "How low can you go?" question.

This thread so far deserves an early lock.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
