Leading them from a flag to oblivion .

They should both be sacked.

Maybe they should but if they continue to  bumble headlong blindly into the great void, will any here be disappointed? They deserve each other.

Health aside... I can't believe so many think he's been a valuable player for us. You've got to be kidding. 

He has potential and could still be valuable depth if fit and firing. Look at the Kangas, Gold Coast and Dogs to see what happens when injuries plague a team. How long until the Dees have one of those seasons? We're not immune. I'd hope we're doing something right though in terms of our fitness training and it's not about luck.

I'm talking about what he's done since he got here. Not the future. But I don't believe he's the future anyway. I'd much prefer Salem/Mitch White/Wagner should injuries strike. 

 

I I can count on one hand how many decent games he's played for us. Complete bust. Talks the talk but hasn't walked.

I thought we only signed H for 3 and next year was his last?

"Lumumba is contracted for another two years after signing a four year deal when crossing over to the Demons from Collingwood for the 2015 season."

Harry must retire, we can't have 2 more years of this. He was worth a punt but has ended up being a massive bust for us, he's not in our best 22. Melksham, Hunt and Vince and hopefully Hibberd will play off half back next year so their is really no room for Harry, time to cut our losses and hopefully that will give us more cap space to eventually fit in Hogan.

Does anybody know why he was put on the LTI list with only 2 games to go? Michie and Wagner have been upgraded due to Melksham and King does this mean White will take H's spot?

Purely from a playing perspective, the biggest myth about Limumba is that he is quick. 

We got him for his dash, which he showed plenty of at CFC.

At MFC, mostly he's used that to dash into packs of oppo players.

Even his good games, he has looked decidedly shaky.

I'm sick of hearing about this bloke. He has been a complete waste of space (and time and money) since he walked through the door. I'd give him a pass mark in about two games; in the rest he has been a complete liability to the team.

I don't wish ill of anyone, even if I don't rate them as a player. If he is truly suffering serious health issues (mental or physical), that is terrible for him and I hope he can get over them. He should hang up the boots now and think about a future elsewhere.

If there is something else in the mix, and I increasingly believe there is, the sooner the club can sever ties with him the better. Hopefully it is done quietly during the final series and we can all move on.

Didn't rate him in his golden years at Collingwood, and rate him less in the red and blue.At the best he has been servicable, but mostly he is a laibility. Run, run, run, run into trouble and boot it to no one. If he never plays another game I won't even notice. Just another NQR from Colling@#$% we won't miss or even remember ten years fom now

A remarkably unnecessary and insensitive post. What drives you to feel the need to express this sort of opinion in these circumstances?

Aww geez, now I have to be sensitive? I'm glad you weren't next to me during the Essendon game when I yelled at him to get the @#$% off the ground, and never wear our jumper again.

 

I don't have to like every player, and I don't have to like every trade. I don't rate him, and hated the trade. But here we are. We have a precious VFL player on a long contract. Yay! I'm excited.

You don't have to be, you can do whatever you like. But both your initial post and response show your character!

Nobody's demanding that you like the bloke, or the trade, that's irrelevant.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
