Goodes, O'loughlin? Some people just can't be pleased.

Yes, they are aboriginal but that doesn't mean they have the same qualities that Jurrah has. What Jurrah has is special and without getting too carried he reminded me a little of Gary Ablett, just with his freakish ability to make things happen out of nothing.

Only 4? Seriously, I was so proud of him last night.
Exciting debut. Must have been the lunch you organised for Liam yesterday, RudeBoy! Wow. I really like his demeanor, his hunger for the ball. He's level of confidence, almost a strut of arrogance - 'bring it on'.... He's kicking and hitting targets with weighted balls to teammates was impressive. Good pair of hands for his marking. Led well. A pre season or two will do wonders!

wow the bloke has freakish athleticism!

What most impressed me wasnt the goal he kicked, but when in the midfield we took off from meter behind the essendon player to disrupt the play and take possesion. He doesnt jump, the man swoops!

Noticed he was not afraid to offer plenty of advise to team mates during the game which (as Rudeboy mentioned) shows how confident he is on the footy field. Some guys take awhile to feel comfortable out there but not our Warlpiri Warrior.

He also has a killer mullet!!!! Bring back the 80's.

it brought a tear to my eye when i saw jurrahs family jumping up and down when he kicked that goal.. that would have just showed how dam proud they would have of him and how hard he has worked.. im just very very proud to be a melbourne supporter because its story like his that makes me even more happier to be a dee supporter!

very impressed by his game and it will not surprise me if one year he does a jeff farmer and win mark and goal of the year! for some reason to me he seems very different to other aboriginal players... im still yet to find that out!

I'd be even happier if he does a Jeff Farmer and kicks 9 in a half against collingwood!!!

Saw Miller offering some advice to him on the way to the huddle at three quarter time..........I reckon he thought, 'mate just give me my space, I'll show you how it is done.'

I liked it when Watts put his arm around him at the beginning of the game when they were both sitting on the bench. It was a nice touch and another example of the maturity of Watts.

The fro-mullet! Nice...

From where Liam is from that style is par for the course with a little pizazz. Wait til the peroxide is applied then will see something to really write about!

Loved his game. Confident, hard working, as somebody mentioned well weighted kicks to his teammates advantage. Can't wait for his next game.

That was somewhat heart warming watching Watts make Jurrah feel at ease.......that was the future right then & there, start of a great partnership between the two perhaps. Both being No.1 in prospective drafts and starting their football together, from different backgrounds I think would make them relate to each other in terms of varying pressures (ie media exposure, fans expectations - although a little different, etc).

I'm sure they'll share and experience a great bond with both part of the teams future forward set-up.

For the record the Watts-Jurrah combo has 3 goals from 1 game. ;)

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
