Preview The Heritier Lumumba motion picture thread - "Concussion - Its been fantastic"

[TheCount]

Is it fair to say i told you so? Word of the wise, don't buy into anything the media says until it's confirmed or not. I warned you about overreacting before anything even has happened

To be fair, often you can believe the "official line" from the club about as much as the media.

 

[Russian Demon]

Problem is, with these things as soon as a disagreement occurs, the next line is always something to do with the legal system...... usually using it to get what you want.

Think its safe to say he won't be playing again any time soon.

He's done us a favour then.

True, but still nothing has happened yet so i prefer not to loose my s**t and overreact

I prefer to believe that darthsidusfan is ready to loose his s**t.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Damn it

 

[djpaulydemon]

I recall similar spin from the club when it first came out the Mitch Clark wanted a trade after we helped him with his comeback. Necessary from a PR point of view, but I agree with others when they say it is about as trustworthy as other media reports.

 

[Supermercado]

If he's going to retire then do it by Monday so we're not left with a dead weight player on the senior list all year.

(And get well soon)

The club are hosing it down publicly, which is very good of them.

But the inside word is that Heritier is behaving very poorly and is trying to negotiate a payout for this year and next, because he knows he won't get enough games to activate his fourth year. He's on over $350k a season so it's a fair bit of money for him personally.

Anyway I believe the club is likely to pay him a portion of this season to make it go away.

He's a strange man, Herritier. A real indictment that he's now left 2 clubs under adversarial circumstances.

Interesting that Bernie has come out and stood up for the club - can't help but think that H lost the support of the playing group some time ago.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

H clearly has mental health issues. Last year he was just the loosest of cannons. Looser than cannon82.
Dr Tiger diagnoses bipolar disorder. Made his club interviews compelling viewing though.
My favourite quote remains his response to how difficult he'd found not playing for six weeks - 'It's been absolutely fantastic!'

 

[Bluelegs]

I could see the AFL quietly offering to pay out his contract through us to avoid anymore of this silliness

Certainly doesn't come off as a guy who has a lot of mates at the club.

Yeah but your bias

To be fair though as I understand it he has a regular spot on Nova(?). If you're asked about it (and you would be) you'd have to give some sort of answer

I'm a relaxed pistol.

I can't believe it's actually working. When H retires you can all thank me

I hope I get some acknowledgement for encouraging your helpful actions!

Was that part of the ridiculous H deserves a spot ahead of Hunt discussions?
If so, very well played.
I didn't think anyone would be so simple to actually believe that stuff.

No one said that

No mate.

In an earlier thread I pointed out that every Melbourne player that I've chosen as my favourite has either had their career prematurely finished by serious injury, been quickly traded by the club or just ended up sucking badly. Players such as Stephen Tingay, Allen Jakovich, Glenn Lovett, Sean Charles, Stephen O'Dwyer, Sean Charles (I really like him), the real Prince, Rod Keogh, Martin Pike, Darren Cuthbertson, Jack Trengove, Jeff farmer and Paul Prymke (nah, i'm just trolling with the last one).

It was quickly decided that not only am I the angel of the abyss, but I am also the kiss of death.

So, Klyntonius had the brilliant suggestion that I should adopt the holy one as my current fav to speed up his departure from the club, so I did, hence my new avatar. And now it looks like it's working.

It's a kind of magic (needed to get a Queen reference in there somehow)

I played footy with Sean Charles for a season. Best player I ever saw by a fair way. His tackling was incredible too, I'd never noticed it at AFL level. He would have been a superstar in the AFL if not for off field family stuff.
