#8 Heritier Lumumba

^ My take is he would like to see the Collingwood Football Club destroyed, totally. That is his real endgame now.

Well if it means it’s now the club’s lawyers talking to his lawyers, and everyone else can get on with footy and living their lives whilst the lawyers sort it out, then it might be a good outcome for all involved.

[Haff]

Perhaps H is full of hate and maybe that’s completely warranted. I don’t understand the end game of pulling out though, taking at face value that the club is genuinely trying to change and improve itself.
It does read as if he (they) don’t so much care for the club improving rather that they are not changing their stance on what the club used to be and the racism there with. Or one could read this as H not getting the compensation he wants and will go lawyers at 10 paces. Or he genuinely doesn’t think the club is trying. We don’t know.

[Dark Beanie]

Have Andrew Krakouer and Leon Davis said anything publicly?

All I have seen is Heretier Lumumbas twitter post talking for them.

Not that it is necessary for them to let everyone know they have cut off communication with the club, I just find it interesting that they are OK with it being broadcast on social media by someone else.

[David]

^ They've backed him pretty consistently (and without qualification) on this, so I would be very surprised if they didn't give him the thumbs up ahead of time.

[Dark Beanie]

OK.

Maybe this does need to go down the legal track for the three players to get the outcome they wish. That however may mean naming and shaming the individuals who made particular comments or did not act appropriately, something Heretier has been reticent to do so far - apart from Eddie and Bucks.

Like it good old Harry O reminds me of the 2010 grand final he is a Collingwood premiership player harry o

[slangman]

Name the players and specific incidents or bugger off.

""My take is he would like to see the Collingwood Football Club destroyed, totally. That is his real endgame now.""

I think Harry has a persecution complex and wants his "Metoo" moment and to also make a great big bunch of cash out of it via a payout.

Then he can piss right off and fade away into irrelevance where he belongs... but I doubt it. He will continue to milk it for all it's worth.

[RudeBoy]

Lumumba is a pure narcissist, plain and simple. He has never really been concerned about racism, social equality or any other issue, except in regards to how they can draw attention to himself.

I loved him as a player, but as a human being he is a great disappointment.

[Seth]

Have I missed something? Is there some sort of lawsuit instigated by Davis and Krakouer? Have they said something publicly and I’ve missed it?

Media Making Stuff Up to Shit on Collingwood again

[Hiss]

Collingwood must ensure all lines of communication are opened again . We need to do better and ensure these departed magnificent servants of our Club are embraced, supported, and compensated for the suffering they have allegedly endured. We should apologise again that relations have deteriorated to this extent where these wonderful servants of our Club were forced into making this announcement. Anyone that can’t work out what is required here just doesn’t get it. Collingwood need to get this right or risk having its AFL licence suspended or match point penalties applied.
