Geez not only does Martin get droped he also has to wear pink.. Poor guy

Good cause !!!

I was serious, I really do like it.

I play lawn bowls (yes young people do play LOL) and my bowls are pink. Cop a bit of stick for it though

hopefully strauss plays ones

Depends on Junior's fitness - if he doesn't come up then it creates the opportunity, but with the fifteen man rule, it'll be interesting to see who plays in the magoos.

If hes firing, your in for a treat. Believe me!

not really he played a whole year at old xavs amateurs and couldnt crack the first team, im associated with old xavs and he wasnt much there, so i cant imagine why he would be at melbourne.

Well I hope he has improved.

dont get me wrong i hope he had improved as well. its annoys me however, how people are putting him into there forwards for 2010 and beyond next to Watts in the FP, when really they havent seen him play and dont know what there talking about. although they will tell you different.

Interesting seeing Dunn and Bartram being the named onballers.

Between them they will have to take responsibility for getting the ball and clearing it, as well as their habitual stopping roles. No-one else to do it.

I'm looking forward to watching this on the ABC.

Jurrah played Ammo's? First i've heard of it...

YES! i get to watch this on tv at work

too bad watts isnt playing! haha

i mentioned this in another thread ...

yeah there you go

Thanks for that. We learn something new every day...

Hopefully he's a lot better than u say, and has improved dramatically since then. I still haven't seen him play in the flesh, so i obviously can't comment on his talents or skills. But others here have and the majority seem to think he's going to be something special once (if) he get a couple of full pre-seasons into him, puts some weight on and gets more comfortable with big city life. Whether that's just blind optimism and bias from MFC supporters pumping him up, or if he is the real deal, only time will tell.

BTW, says in that article he debuted in the 1st's that week and kicked 2. So in fact, he did crack into the team...

Sorry. I'm just being pedantic, its 4am and i'm terribly sleep deprived.

Ive seen Casey a few times this season, most recently last sunday against Geelong....

Don't know what he was like when sticksmorton was watching him but he is a freak now. No doubt what so ever. Very very very talented player.

yeah there you go

I have seen him play several times, the last being last Sunday. He has the goods - bigtime!

BTW what is there in that article that gives anything but the impression that the author was also enamored with Jurrah?

A whole year?! Wasn't much there?! Couldn't crack the Amateurs First team?!

- You mean while he was playing VFL for Collingwood and leading their goalkicking? More misinformation and innuendo, strange how it gathers around some people more than others.

This was when he was in Melbourne in 2008 playing VFL with Collingwood as a listed Collingwood VFL player (i.e. that was his club - where he trained, where his responsibilities lay etc). Old Xavs was a fall back for the VFL players (couldn't crack the first team!). Liam spent some of the earlier three weeks when he was not selected for Collingwood VFL playing for Old Xavierians (as a up feeder club only). OX was one of several clubs used by Collingwood VFL as a team where VFL listed players not selected to play VFL could have a run each week so they didn't miss out on match practice - not too fussed about how well they did at this lower level etc just for a general run (generally 5 or 6 of the 11 listed VFL players each week depending on how many of the 42 listed AFL blokes were injured/playing VFL). But other than having a run they had nothing to do with these lower level clubs. As previously noted during the time he played VFL for Collingwood he led their goalkicking.

Hopefully he backs up again well this week after last weeks stellar effort although l think he has been struggling with cold/flu quite a bit this week.

Thanks for clearing that up, Japaljarri.

sticksmorton, you're better off saying nothing at all if you don't have all the facts to hand.

I am so glad this match is being televised. Really looking forward to seeing Jurrah play. Not to mention the rest of the young guns!

It's really exciting to see that many names listed that are young and up and comers. Very pleased it's televised. They should beat Werribee.
