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. ;)

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
