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

And his afro was shitter than James Gwilt's

Ross Lyon sleeps nude in an oxygen tent that he believes gives him sexual powers.

 

[Silent Alarm]

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.

It's a piss take. I agree with you.

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.

Yeah that's it. He's a guy who grew up in the housing commissions of Fitzroy (which can still be sketchy) in the 80s and then played for Claremont (the most affluent club in the most wanky suburbs in Perth). Is Brazilian though. Stands out too. Good at football but into different music and things like revolutionists and books.

He wasn't the most intelligent man alive and he wasn't a good speaker, but I always respected him giving that stuff airtime. It's a bit more interesting than some bloke on Fox Sports who's seen as 'grounded' because he likes fishing or 'cool' because he wears check shirts and knows about alternative acts like The Beatles and You Am I... at least he put himself out there and thought a bit differently.

I played amateurs for a year at a uni club and my reputation was I was so skinny I got winded every time the bags came out and did Arts. Easy to take that in your stride and see it as unique and a point of difference amongst the blokes who just played because their mate did sports science or economics there. I remember drinking a Coopers one night down someone's accommodation after training and people commented on it when they drank Export. I mean it's Coopers, not a sour-bitter Saison in a 703ml bottle in the shape of the Brussels Art Museum imported for $13 a bottle.

At clubs there's the fat bloke, the hero, the 'smart' guy, the bumbling fool, the tall gangly dude everyone assumes is dorky just because he looks that way. People play up to it.

In uni classes people would comment on me as being the bloke into footy, in classes that had 12 girls and a gay bloke. Ya know.

As you said, someone who never had identity and felt so confused about who he was, where he belonged, what he was actually supposed to be doing... it's easy to accommodate your 'serious, unique' side is easy if you're the guy who points out shit people shouldn't say.

Ultimately he felt bullied at a professional work environment. Yeah it's a footy club. The line's are blurred. But he had a right to stand up for whatever hw wanted to. Three years later and the AFL would have shat themselves about a bloke's nickname being 'Lesbian' and it would have been aided in Heritier Lumumba's side or just swept under the rug.

Ultimately he's just a dude very lost in Australia, who was probably talented at the wrong thing.

Bailey Smith apparently threw a huge 'Project X' party when his parents left him alone for a weekend while he was at Xavier

The sleeping nude bit, the oxygen tent or the enhanced sexual powers? Maybe all three?

Maybe it was one of the gay blokes ya big homophobe

 

[mattyc75]

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.

Gone up in my estimation too

He ate it while sitting on the toilet with the door open.

Alternative acts like The Beatles and You am I.

Does this stream of bullshit just flow through you like a bad steak and kidney pie, or do you actually think before it starts?

You missed the joke entirely. It went way over your head.

When SA is smart enough to make a joke I'll laugh.
His posts are nothing but imagined written diarrhea in which he attempts to make himself relevant.

 

[Silent Alarm]

As relevant as a bloke with 2000 posts in three months.

That's a little bit bitchy, don't ya think?
Do you need a free Hungry Jacks BOG voucher to go with that heartburn?

 

[TheGreatBambino]

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

The dwarf/midget the players hired for mad Monday that year (the one Clint jones lit on fire)..was because the players would refer to Watters as a dwarf/midget, presumably behind his back lol

Does he talk dirty to it after a few too many cab/merlots ?

Mate you want to talk about him not being smart enough to make a joke? What does that say about the bloke that missed it entirely?

I'd be interested to know what the "sweet spot" is. Posters get canned for posting to much here, and posters canned because "what the **** would know, barely been here"
