Exactly. Best 22s are fluid. Love the player or not, I see no upside to an AFL capable player on our list being in this position, and that's not to mention the human side of this. The grave-danci

No big deal in the scheme of trading, but it's probably a big deal for H and his health. Hope it improves for him.

Not the only one it seems. Clubs/AFL getting serious on concussion, and not too soon.

Given how well the team is going and how well the club is presenting itself I'm frankly astounded at the venom being directed to Lumumba. 

Read through my posts earlier in the year and you will see I was not a fan of his, I saw him improving with the team but then he started getting his concussion issues. But ultimately that is totally beside the point. All you can take on this issue (unless you have inside knowledge) is what the club is presenting at face value and that's that his concussion related symptoms are ongoing. 

Logically that means retirement must be on the cards. Whatever you feel towards him think about this: he got those concussions representing Melbourne.

Poor bastard. Hope his health picks up. Don't wish for anyone to possibly give up a career because of repeat concussions. Footy can be a  tough occupation.

definitely an eccentric character and seemingly well liked team-mate (despite all the noise). i hope he's ok. i am sure the football department will be on top of this, so i don't think there's much to be concerned about from MFC's perspective. it'll all play out in due time. hunt has his number now no doubt, can't really see him breaking back into the team again. but if he has a long holiday and good preseason, maybe he'll be full of vigour and drive next year - who knows?

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
