Mega Thread All things Heritier Lumumba (Good luck H. Thread closed)

[The Magnificent Seven]

And yet people are fine having players who have been charged, or accused of: physical assault, sexual assault (and being a bystander to), illicit and PE drugs, gambling on football, or drink-driving on AFL lists.

That's a pretty low bow to draw. I don't think people are 'fine' with it unless you mean the offender has genuine remorse and we have penalised them/rehabilitated them. I'd want any of our players who were guilty repeat offenders straight off the list.

 

[golazo]

Do we really need opposition fans coming on our board and bagging out one of our premiership players who played 199 games for us?

They're with us on this one. Leave 'em be

Harry's speech in his own mind.

I have a dream that one day, everyone will be almost as gifted moi.

Melbourne got Stretch with pick 39. Should def go hard for 22 now it's available.

I'm hoping for that too. Well, actually, I'm hoping that we can package pick 5 and H for pick 2, but doubt that will happen.

Pick 5, H and pick 29 for picks 2 and 33?

Don't think it will happen, the Dees have a hardon for Brayshaw apparently.
I don't see why pick 22 for a former AA who is in the top 5-10 in our B+F every year is unreasonable, regardless of his odd personality.

I think a pick 22-25 is fair game. It seems that Melbourne are desperate for more mids and can understand the urge for Brayshaw. Not sure if they need another tall (perhaps a mature one down back) with the stock they currently have.

Things that made more sense than Heritier's speech last Friday;

if the AFL allow the bombers and port to exploit the rules like this we've got to do the same and make Harry a free agent. depending on his contract with melb likely only a pick after our 2nd round but still lets get the most we can.

 

[Baird]

Soooo why hasn't this deal been done yet

Funnily frawley came 8th in Melbournes BF and Harry came 4th is ours but i highly doubt we would see good compensation

Frawley is a defender who played most of the year forward in a side with a pathetic midfield that struggled to get the ball forward.

Harry played in defense, across the half back line, where he got plenty of the ball due to a midfield that wasn't overly defensive resulting in the defense seeing plenty of the ball.

Harry has finished top 10 in the Copeland EVERY year since 2007, eight consecutive top10 finishes, finishing top5 on four occasions. Collingwood were a strong team then too, finals every year except for this year.

H is a good consistent footballer, rarely injured and a great trainer...

Is this also the reason why Dawes was less prominent forward much of the year? Perhaps he could only clutch at crumbs when the mids should have been pumping loaves into his breadbasket. Maybe forced inactivity limited his contributions.

Because the Bears are wasting everyone's time in regards to Beams. Look at my avatar.

Actually I think the backline saw plenty of the ball because of the backlines disposal as much as the midfield

 

[MightyPies1]

Personally I think it will be a some sort of swap with Lumumba.

 

[Gymnorhina tibic]

Bump - Poor Harry it's been 6 hours someone give him some attention

 

[mike123]

Think we may get Varcoe for him.

Too late for a swap, Gwilt gone to Essendon and Clint Jones probably some bush league in WA!

Sorry all out of Mars bars!

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

Varcoe deal will be done Monday

Travis tore us to shreds in 2011. Will be a good pick up.
