Ok thanks for letting me know where you're at.

Where I'm at is top secret. Asio is looking for me and Harry as we speak....Apparently Eddie thinks we're mounting a coup against him, or something.

Eddie believes we're mounting a REAL lumpen Proletariat revolution at Collingwood....?‍♀️??

Oh well..

I don’t really care about the personal barbs - I just don’t think they’re especially necessary. I have a full kit bag in terms of friends and life experience, such that getting invested in petty stuff with people on a footy forum who I don’t even know is just a waste of time and energy.

ProDee took the time to step out his views, and I actually like to read considered (albeit differing) perspectives on matters of interest - hence, the thank you.

I believe I inferred that. harry confirmed, hence his impassioned speech before he defected to the Demons.

You're a good man, Ron, and looking back at my post in the cool light of the next day it was ridiculously harsh.  I was surprised when I reread it. 


Laumumba was the most overrated player in the competition (by far) during his time at Collingwood, but at least he was interested in playing football at that stage of his career.

By the time he came to Melbourne it was all about Harry and what the club could do for him, and football was just a means to an end. He was soft, lazy and completely disinterested.

Some of the rose coloured assessments of Lamumba as a Melbourne player at the time were sickening to read.

Harry was a decent running defender at C'wood but by the time he got to us, all that drinking of bathwater had gone to his head and he thought he could crash any pack, thread his way through any heavy traffic, and hold on to the pill as long as he felt like.  Ended up pretty much completely ineffective. It was a relief when he realised he was bigger than any sport and retired to let the world ruefully contemplate its egregious error of not fully appreciating Harry.

Oh boy, I've raised a hornet's nest from the dead. His ears are burning. Sorry I raised it. Truly.

Let us forget about Heretier Lumumba. Onwards, forward, 2020 looms, don't look back...

Is that an apology I hear???


I think Heritier Lumumba was very misunderstood by the AFL community. As fans, we're often crying out for players that don't fit the same mould or give us the cliche 'the boys played well' answers to media questions. Lumumba was a player unafraid to express his own personality and intellect and got ridiculed by the AFL community for it and also copped a bit of racial discrimination while he was at it. We wouldn't accept that kind of treatment of many players, but many fans were happy for Heritier to cop it because they found him too confident or self-assured, ironically traits common to many much-loved AFL players.

If you're interested in understanding a different view of Lumumba, I recommend watching Fair Game - a documentary about his football journey that was made a few years ago. It used to be available free on the SBS website. It's also available on many university databases if you're a student. Otherwise it can be rented online at https://vimeo.com/ondemand/fairgame2

The documentary doesn't go much into his time at Melbourne and the reasons behind his retirement (other than retirement) but provides a good insight into some of the issues faced by footballers who come from different backgrounds, and the multi-faceted nature of footballers (they're humans too, and football is just a workplace for some)

Heritier Lumumba - the prince who was promised. Quite the character.

No idea what he is up to post footy.

Maybe he married a TV star and lost interest in his princely duties.

Sure.

No-one was as soft as Jurrah.  Not even Jackie boy.

Seriously. Jurrah soft? Fragile, maybe, but I never felt he was soft.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • 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 Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"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 Collingwood’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.

  • 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 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.
