    Heritier Lumumba could take legal action over concussion treatment.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    May have had a point about how his concussion was managed but claiming his performance was impacted by the death of Ali was... curious.

    KB mentioned that this morning. Or his Offsider. One of them . It was an odd thing to say.

    And it only serves to undermine his case publicly (unless they plan to use it as evidence that he's been damaged by his concussions or something)

    I've always said he reminds me of an old timey rock star. Thick as shit but believes he possesses some insight that only he is capable of seeing, then surrounds himself with yes men that feed and enable his delusion.

    The result is... well pretty much everything we've seen from him over the years

    Just when Melbourne were getting over the initial walk out and then trade request from Mitch Clarke (and paying him over $4,000,000 in his bugger all games there), and then with his delisting thinking that maybe this Clarke/HL trade wasn't the worst trade in history of the game. Think again.

    What you're saying is he will die on the toilet eating his 10pm triple cheeseburger?

    They were both such great sportsmen and cultural icons and both changed their names at the peak if their careers. Heretia feels a natural affinity for Ali. I'm suprised the family didn't ask him to read the eulogy at the funeral.

    Re: Heritier Lumumba could take legal action over concussion treatment.

    Melbourne's defence just have to replay his farewell speech at the Collingwood best and fairest a couple years ago and say he was damaged before we got him.

    “Collingwood has allowed me to define my character and also to find the true meaning of my true name ... which means the prince, the one who will have the last laugh, and (who) is gifted,” Lumumba said.

    The defence rests!

    He proably looked up to and admired him. But there are guys like Florent playing after the death of a close family member which I imagine is just a bit more devastating
