WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - LIAM JURRAH

Featured Replies

 

Rhys Healy, our second pick in rookie draft, anyone know anything??

 

#2 rookie - Rhys Healy - any relation????

Feel as though I can add a little to the discussion regarding Liam. He has played for the Yuendumu Magpies, possibly the proudest, most professional indigenous club in Central Australia. The game in the centre is a vision of the future; quick, skilful, offensive. These guys play on dirt ovals, with perhaps 90% of players in bare feet. The word up in Darwin is that he has been dominating, a very skilful, fast, strong marking forward that is capable of having an immediate impact.

The Jurrah family is a very proud, well respected family in these parts.

It is wonderful to see so many aboriginal boys coming to the Dees, big hopes for Liam.


Lets hope he will be better then nick-nak. Sounds like he can actually play rather then just being a circus act

Only about 80 picks apart.

I am sure the other 15 clubs got it wrong

Any guesses onw here he would have gone if he was available in the national draft?

 

Danny Hughes back as rookie 3

Any Chance of Liam Jurrah playing rd 1.

Having already had VFL experience, I'm sure if his fit will play pre-season and if goes alright could well be in contention for rd 1 v Kanga's

Well if he is in best 22 I guess - yes...... See how he goes in NAB first huh?

Jurrah didn't nominate for the ND.

Jurrah plays much taller than 193 cm - given his vertical leap.

I saw him kick 6.2 against Daniel Rich's Subiaco late last year (when they travelled to NT to play against NTFLs sides as part of pre-season)


"He is a 193cm forward who moves like a midfielder," Cusack said.

He's got a touch of Greg Oden about him. Couldn't pick him being a 20-21 y.o by looking at him. Looking forward to seeing him NAB.

In the NAB or the NBA?

He does sound very interesting.

I hope he does play tall - because we really do need more quality KPPs on our list.

We let several talls pass us by again - I still think our overall recruting strategy over the past two years has been too biased toward midfielders without the height or weight necessary to compete in the air

A tall mercurial forward to play alongside Watts and Robbo, with Davey and Maric at their feet with Aussie helping out. MMMM.

Blease, Strauss, Mclean, Jones, Jetta streaming through the middle after Martin, Garland and Rivers have knocked the ball out to Bail, Petterd and Grimes.

Go the Dees!

I think the circle is now complete, well done the recruiting team this year. Great mix, talent etc etc etc......

BRING ON 09


If Jurrah had have nominated for the ND....what round would he have been picked up????

Round 3.....4 mabe.......this is just a guess.....looking forward to hearing from anyone in the know.

Have you been to many games over the last couple of years? its our middle that has let us down. Thats where we have been getting smashed!

----------------------------------------

We've been getting smashed everywhere

But we have any number of midfielders with potential. How many quality young talls do we have.? Watts, Martin, Newton? Jurrah?

 

My school travels to Yuendumu every year as part of our Central Australia trip we do in year 10. We've got close ties with their community. My bro was just speaking to one of our ex-students who works in Yuendumu now and Liam Jurrah was with him while they were talking haha!

Not sure when he comes down to train yet, hopefully I can find out...

This is so exciting for me, having seen the living conditions in Yuendumu... its great that someone from their town can be represented in the AFL.

they are a football-mad town you have no idea and the best news is that they'll all probably go for Melbourne now because of Jurrah and not Collingwood like they all do atm. (They're team is called Yuendumu Magpies so they love Collingwood)

Just spoken to a friend who played with the Collingwood VFL team alongside Jurrah.

Reckons he is an absolute freak and compared him to a Micky O type but with the athleticism of a Buddy Franklin.

Not that its a downside as many have alluded to on this thread but my friend alerted me to the fact that whilst he is a nice young man he is extremely quiet. My friend said he wouldn't have spoken more than 10 words at a training session. Obviously coming from a rural area to the big smoke for the first time would be an overwhelming expierence so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Let's hope he has a great career and blossoms with the likes of Jetta, Davey, Bennell, Wonna and Whelan.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
