Might be an interesting one of Nev to move into, I fear he could become a bit of a spokesperson for the Pies having to constantly field questions about a culture he has nothing to do with. Not unlike what Goddard had to do when he joined Essendon.

    So what happened to the investigation announced by Collingwood in June? What is "everybody's truth"? What does Eddie mean by that remark.

    Lumumba is pursuing the telling of the truth as he experienced it. Is it so hard for a club to say sorry and acknowledge wrongs if they were done? Denying everything doesn't make things magically go away. It only causes more hurt to the person who experienced the discrimination. This could have been settled before without court action. It seems Eddie doesn't want to admit his perfect family club is not so perfect in its treatment of certain individuals. 

    Notice Lumumba doesn't indicate he suffered the same experience at Melbourne. 

    A sad situation for all. Collingwood should take more ownership of what went on and just apologize. Sometimes that is all victims want to hear.

    They nicknamed a black man “chimp”. He has witnesses to corroborate this. Collingwood and AFL have handled this terribly and will be shown up badly. It’s another reason why I dislike the suits that run the game. They proclaim how woke and right-on they are but as soon as the rubber hits the road it’s a different story.

    There’s no doubt Lumumba is a temperamental character but he’s dead right here. I’m forward to seeing Collingwood and the AFL squirm.

    Well said.   And as an aside to your comment, Just because he's tempermental ( which he may or may not be ) doesn't deny him his human rights to call out racism.

    The Pies culture has plenty of form from the top on this issue.

    REQUESTING A MEETING WITH BARACK OBAMA

    Lumumba previously wrote a letter to the football world explaining why he wanted to meet with US President Barack Obama.

    “This is about the voice of the children’s cries I still hear from the HIV-infected orphans I cared for in Africa, the millions of women violently abused throughout Australia, depressed men who see no other option but to end their lives through their own hands, indigenous youth following a chain of dysfunction, forgotten homeless mental health sufferers throughout Australia, and immigrants to Australia who have trouble integrating into Australian culture,” he said in the letter.

     

     

     

    This is what he said back in his playing days.

    I can see why you'd not like him, MR. Elegt. He sounds like a compassionate human being.

    He actually sounds like a nutcase, Obama has nothing to do with those things

    Unless you accept that Obama was posing as the 'Saviour of the Free World', had received a Nobel Prize for being elected, that Lumumba, like many people in the so-called Free World, believed Obama had the capacity to actually make the world a better place for the dispossessed. Misguided, I grant you, but he shares that with the millions of mainly white people who believe the US stands for democracy and freedom.

    You racial vilify  someone then the problem is with you. The problem is not Lumumba's however you made it for the 2 of you so you are held responsible.  It comes down to the club and whoever is in charge. 

    Lumumba has a right to sue and good on him. The club with whom he first played for in Collingwood  and the AFL.  This is a serious issue and it has to be cleaned up for the good of humanity and for the sake of our game. 

      Heretier  Lumumber  deserves some peace.

    It's hard not to roll your eyes at some of the things he has said in the past but whatever you think of the bloke he should never have been given a clearly racially charged nickname. Reading that story about Robert Muir you realise that there have probably been hundreds of cases where minority players have been given nicknames that they feel denigrates or humiliates them but they stay silent because they don't want to be "that guy". If Lumumba actually went to the Pies to complain about it (which he claims) and nothing was really done then they have done themselves no favours and deserve everything that comes their way.

    And that has zero to do with him allegedly being racially vilified

    As usual you are using the straw man line. 

    Big deal if he's an odd cat. Does that justify him being called a monkey? 

    So you don't like him because he's an attention seeker. Seems to me the one person on this thread seeking attention is you

    I applauded the proactive action of Collingwood when it seemed they were going to do the inquiry but since we don't know anything now it looks suss.

    Watching the morning news on channel 9 apparently Lumumba has released an “explosive dossier” with new claims against Gary Pert and Nathan Buckley. The story said Lumumba was meant to hand over the dossier when Collingwood did their internal review into racism (yet these new claims are about inappropriate comments made and the playing of a video but not racism related) but didn’t trust them to act appropriately with it. 
     

    I can’t help but think why these claims weren’t raised earlier rather than the drip feed approach that seems to be happening….

    Nothing on any AFL pages yet.

    Lumumber has the right right to sue and Collingwood has the right to presumption of innocence. 

    I hate Collingwood so happy for them to cop a massive whack if these allegations stand up.

    Some of the things Lumumber has said in the past are fanciful at best. I do hope it works out for him though and he finds his peace.

    my view is that whilst I have no issues with the guy when at Melbourne, because our integrity is beyond reproach always,  I feel that he maybe losing some traction with his case against the Colliewobbles or that he wants more attention by the Press on his claims. A Court of Law would ask the same questions as to " why bring these matters forth now" ?

    A simple answer is the relationship of the person to the experience and the trauma that has occurred.

    I think as a society, we need to move beyond having a time frame on 'dealing' with things.

    Recently, it took me 35 years to start to acknowledge my own trauma, that I am currently processing. And I'm a pretty well adjusted person that functions mostly well in society.

    Would they? Is time passed considered to be relevant? (This is a serious question if any legally trained person could respond).

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
