Probably cos of the way he moves.

And jumps.

And eats his enemies for breakfast.

The new stand in president named him that.

There was nothing behind it. Chris Con said on footy today.

Not sure about this one.

It just makes me think of either mutton dressed as lamb, bourbon or boobs.

I Prefer the JURRAHCANE!!!!!

Did anyone hear Aaoron and Liams interview on 3AW after the game when Aaron said that all the aboriginal boys had nicknames for each other with Wona being something turtle and I can't remember what he said Liam was. Can someone remind me :blink: Liam was so quietly spoken that it was difficult to hear what he said and obviously Aaron was bought in to support Liam. I wasn't impressed by Rex Hunt as he almost talked down in some respects to Liam but it was all taken in good humour. Aaron was very impressive and said that there were many more indigenous players that would make it down here. Since it was Aaron that alerted Barry Prendergast to Liam Jurrah maybe he could become our unofficial recruiter in NT.

hahahaha heard it on TripleM where they mentioned the same things - They joke that Aaron is the father of Aussie (AKA the Tiwi Turtle) and Whelan is the father of Liam (AKA the Walpiri Wizard)

Liam sounds like he hasn't spent much time being media coached (understandably).

Davey said that he and Matty Whelan nicknamed Jurrah "Warlpiri Wizard" and Aussie "Tiwi Turtle"!

Jurrah was interviewed both on MMM and 3AW.

For someone who speaks English well, I can barely bloody understand what Rex Hunt is crapping on about, so poor Jurrah really had no idea.

He did say that he didn't like the cold ocean water, but that he loved being out there with the boys and flying for marks. Mentioned that he and Aussie will be moving in together soon.

Davey said he was just so proud of him (and Aussie) and that he had spoken to Chris Connolly and the club about going to find some more talent up in the Territory because he thinks there is plenty of untapped potential up there that just needs to be mentored properly.

What a remarkable young man Jurrah is. Barely speaks English, so would obviously find it hard to follow game-plan instructions at this stage (even harder if Chris Connolly is talking to him at 100 miles an hour :D), but just such a natural talent that loves the contest. We are incredibly lucky to have ended up with him.

Edit: I love that his favourite player is Jonathan Brown. Mine too Jurrahcane, mine too! :)

Jaded, I concur.

I heard the MMM interview and couldn't comprehend what the hell they were asking him most of the time.

Collingwood will spew forever that they got rid of him... :rolleyes: (was on their rookie list)

I don't think they ever listed him. Basically they tried to was sneak him into the draft before anyone had the chance to notice him, but they stuffed up the paper-work so that he wasn't elligible for the national draft and we pinched him with the first pick in the PSD. Their loss, I suppose, and I look forward to them looking on for the next decade and lamenting what might have been.

Just to echo the sentiments of 'ologists...

I would hope that the reference didn't have any racial element to it when it was first coined.

I thought Liam handled the interview very well.

More importantly he played a great game and will bring a lot of excitement for Demons' fans in the years to come.

I don't care what his bloody nickname is: he had 12 touches, 4 contested marks, 4 assists, and kicked 4 goals.

The best game by a forward since Neita.

Watts, Naitanui and Jurrah. Freaks!

Oh well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad.

You ain't seen nothing yet guys. Just wait until Liam has completed a pre-season. at the moment he lacks the fitness of most other players - all you are seeing is raw natural talent. Give him another 5 kilos of muscle and a bigger tank and he'll be unstoppable. The best is yet to come.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
