His teammates call him LJ, and he seems happy with that. Back home he is called (this is how it sounds anyway) Jookaday, or sometimes just Jooka.

Just for the record, I would like Liam to kick the winning goal against the Pies next year.

I'll take v the bombers next week!

Hey RB, how does Jurrah feel about his progress? Does he have an idea about when he wants to play for Melbourne?

As far as he's concerned he was ready to play for the Dees the first day he arrived in Melbourne. Fortunately, it aint up to him, so he'll have to wait til the coaches reckon he's due. Nevertheless, the past couple of weeks he has commented on feeling physically fit and strong, so hopefully he'll get a crack some time soon.

2 or 3 more good games for Casey and he'd have to get a game. As we move to the "list management" phase of the season, Jurrah, Strauss, Watts, Newton, Cheney, McNamara, Bail, Jetta, Dunn all need to be getting games. Whelan and Robertson need to be sent to the scrap yard. Bruce, Johnson and JMac need to get ready for life after football and a few injured players need to be sent to surgery. I hope Mclean is one of them otherwise what exactly is wrong? I'm more pumped about seeing Jurrah play than I was about Watts and that's saying something.

is it the physical side of the game (ie engine) or the off field stuff that is causing the club to hold him back do you think?

I just think players need to earn their spots. He's played 2 really good games in a row after coming back from injury, so now he has to keep performing and his chance will come.

This was mentioned on D'Ology and I think it has some credibility as a thought:

With all of Essendon's indigenous boys, the Dees could make it a special night by recalling Bennell and Jetta, and giving Jurrah his debut.

I understand the desire not to 'give' games to players but I believe all three could claim to improve the selected side (not that difficult after Monday I guess).

We could use some speed across the middle - Bennell, and some speed up forward - Jurrah and Jetta.

Jones, PJ, Maric, and Bell out for the three boys and Miller.

Let's showcase some young talent on Friday Night Football...

This is an interesting post. I'm still having trouble believing we didn't play Bennell against the Pies, so I'd certainly bring him back in and I'd say, with Essendon's pace, we'll need Bennell across half back. He's easily the quickest player I've seen. Furthermore, Grimes and Cheney would struggle with the pace of some Bombers. I also liked what I saw of Jetta again, the other day. I would have been playing him all year, but perhaps he'll get his chance again, in Round 12? I'd still play Maric, but maybe drop Cheney? I wouldn't have a clue who to drop, in order to bring Jurrah in though, because Bate was in our best last week, yet he would seem the perfect interchange.

'Jookaaaa' sounds great. Shouldn't be getting too far ahead of ourselves at this stage, but I can imagine the 'G' rockin with that call every time he gets his hands on the pigskin.

Mate, that was the answer I was hoping for! I love his confidence.

Bennell is named in the Casey team on the HBF this week @ Visy Park.

Thanks. :) Doesn't mean he can't play the following Friday though does it? He didn't play at all last week, so they've got to get some game time into him.

Trying to not get excited about it. It is preety cool not only to see LJ take his place (all going to plan) but also to see so much of the future playing now.

Huge story if this works out. Just huge.

Great news Rudeboy. I saw Japaljarri post on Big Footy earlier today that Liam would indeed be playing Friday night. Was waiting to see you confirm it.

This is going to be sensational.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
