You mean if I continue with my lunch habits and then open the door occasionally whilst I poop, potentially I could play 100 AFL games?

I didn't realise the eating and defecating went together.

 

[CH Jazz]

Word was he use to sh*t with the door open and bring his own packed lunch/dinner to game days. Had a few other quirks that put people off apparently.

Apparently on occasion he used to eat his packed lunch whilst shitting with the door open and making eye contact with those passing by. A very off-putting scene by all accounts.

Of course they do, cant do one without the other and if you do neither, you die. Simples.

What a nutcase. I bet he used the middle cubicle too.

 

[Brutalitops]

Thanks. Any more details about what made him a shit bloke?

Apparently never awarded a single Hungry Jacks Player of the Match food voucher. Used to rock up to training with a Bacon Deluxe meal and throw the chips at Reiwoldt until he'd get attacked by seagulls.

That's the tipping point right there.

When your bathroom habits are too extreme for St Kilda FC, you know it’s time to turn it down a notch.

A well known ex players wife. They were together at the time

She was obviously munted on the ice and making advances to the cab driver. So the cab driver pulled into a police station in the South Eastern beach side suburbs. The cabbie comes into the cop shop and tells them this bird is hammered and is stripping naked in the back of the cab saying she wants to get ****** but the driver didn't want this to come back on him. So he got the officers to go out grab her and lock her up until she sobered up. They pretty much did that. For the next couple of hours she was screaming at the cops saying shit like 'if you are real men you will all come in here and gang bang me' ext. This went on for quite a few hours until she started to straighten up.

This came from a copper I know who worked at the station. This was around 2007-2009ish

Not believable cobber. I reckon that copper you know isn't telling it to you 100% straight. If it was a players wife she was probably half decent, I simply can't imagine the Coppers not queuing up. At least a couple of them. How many were on the shift? I thought it was well documented coppers like to get their filth with drunk & drugged chicks, women caught with drugs, women accusing blokes of Domestic Violence, unlicensed single mums especially in unroadworthy or unregistered vehicles, shoplifters you name it. It's treated like a smorgasbord by many of them.

Wow, next you'll be saying Vicpol let criminals off if they get paid too. Pathetic.

 

[Post padding]

Kosi, Goddard and Dal Santo didn’t have anything good to say about him on open mike either. Especially Kosi

And this is why the Saints haven’t a flag since god knows.

A profound ayahuasca trip turned Heritier Lumumba into a complete fruit loop.

He seemed like a good dude, after all, he thought Nathan Buckley was a bullying campaigner and actually had the balls to risk (and basically lose) his career for it.

Really? He came across as a conceited and self-righteous w*nker who deluded himself into thinking he was some “gifted” prophet.

Agreed....

The truth was probably somewhere in the middle. He was a narcissist, but he was also fairly troubled. Footy clubs aren’t the most accepting places for those who don’t fit a certain mould.

I think it's an example of playing up to a character.

If you're the only guy at a footy club who reads books, is into politics, thinks about travelling to places other than Las Vegas and Oktoberfest, then it's very easy to be seen as that bloke. And to have a nickname revolve around it. And jokes all about it. It becomes your only defining personality trait. It's an easy way to fit in and better than questioning it or whatever. Lots of people just play up to the image they think they have.

 

[Dixie Normous]

A friend of mine met O'Brien/Lumumba once and told me he was into Bad Brains - that makes him impossible to dislike in my book.

There’s a few iconic figures in the sport’s history who have been seen as rebels or unconventional men and who have happily played up to the image. Lumumba was a real-life Geoff Hayward (The Club), who in turn was based on Brent Crosswell.

Once an image sticks, it’s hard to live down or alter - so yeah, why not play along with the game? You might as well carve a niche and be remembered, rather than be one of the plethora of 200-game stalwarts who don’t live long in the public mind. I can see that role being particularly attractive for someone who so clearly struggled for personal identity and security from an early age.

 

[ShadeyP]

He was into drugs?

Very close mates with Dermie

Excuse me? Your head appears to be in the sand. Your choosing to ignore the report highlighting the huge problem of predatory sexual behaviour within Victoria Police ranks. What do you think predatory sexual behaviour means? Wakey wakey.

Bit like if the only copper in the station who wouldn't ride the town bike in the divi van hey

 

[revo333]

Thanks. Any more details about what made him a shit bloke?

There was a team painting or photo in the club rooms of Riewoldt, Dal Santo and a few other players that Watters wanted to take down as he felt the club was living in the past.

Apparently this was on his first or second day and it made the players dislike him straight away.

I think a confidentiality agreement was made when he got the sack to ensure most of what happened is kept quiet and won't effect him in getting further employment.

I had to Google!

Usually you'd have photos or pictures of great club feats and players from past generations, having one of current players is drinking your own bath water IMO. Agree with Watters, but it sounds like he went about it the wrong way.
