Liam Jurrah nick-named "cougar"...why

[AzzKikA 2,371]

I hate that nickname, L.J is what he will be to me!

[Bristling T 11]

Is it because he sings like John "Cougar" Mellancamp?

[w00dy 146]

because he moves like this guy?

[AzzKikA 2,371]

:D GOLD vanlo!!!!!

[beelzebub 23,383]

Vanlo has just ruined the Cougar nickname.

Back to LJ for me; short, simple, elegant.

[Mousey 47]

Yeh my mates and i decided on his first game LJ was the name we would yell out when the ball goes near him.. LL cool J is an alternative to it. We yelled LJ very loud at the Gabba this year..

Dont dislike the cougar but yeah LJ is my choice , sweet and simple..

[Guest Watts=Saviour]

Jurruhcane is so much better!!!

Doesn't matter though, as long as he plays like that they can call him whatever the hell they want!

[MelbournePassion 7]

Lets go with both they are both beauties. I like the Cougar alot. When ever he gets near the ball hes gonna do something good with it. He is a very promising long term prospect. If he plays one bad game and some people start attacking him. I`ll attack you.

JUURRACANEEEEE

That was a great interview there. Gee Davey has to be my favourite player now. Such a legend. And Jurrah, well his English is actually great, he's just obviously quite reticent when speaking to the media and that, but that will come. He's quietly spoken generally, but I remember Flash's first few interviews about 5 years ago, he was quietly spoken and nervous too. And now he's our best player! Jurrah, what a star. Maybe if we miss out on Butcher it won't matter too much with the Jurracaine in the Red and Blue!

[Doggo 32]

He'll always be LJ to me, or even LL Cool J (Ladies Love Cool Jurrah) for all the hip hop fans. LL rocks the bells...

The cougar just reminds me way too much of older ladies going out to cheesy clubs trying to snap up younger men.

LJ deserves better.

'vanlo', when did Dermie travel overseas with peter Scwab??

And John Bertrand is there as well.

His great story is that of being an Australian Indigenous warrior.

His tribal peoples I believe gave him the nickname Jooka

I think if we want to do them Honour, we should respectfully call him by the name they gave him.

Jurrahcane for me:

Here comes the story of the Jurrahcane

The man that came to Melbourne to play the game

There is nothing that he couldn't do

Put him in the forward line you'll see that he will be

The champion of the world

Cheers YM!

Was a great listen.

[RudeBoy 164]

After he hooked that last goal on the weekend a friend of mine calls him 'Hooker' , as in LJ Hooker.

Its officially the Walpiri Wizard - A.Davey and L.J on SEN

Yes that what they have decided on..... another wizard about time!!

[Mousey 47]

Yep will be known as LJ or Walpiri Wizard..

good on them to come out and clear things up, by the sound and look of the interview, did not like cougar at all

[Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde 0]

It's because he looks exactly like "The Cougar" Barry Dawson

[45HG 1,559]

Jack Grimes already has about 4 nicknames as far as I'm concerned.

I don't see how it's such a big deal - indeed the range of nicknames he has already simply underlines to me how is he loved by the footy world.

Anyone notice the crowd whenever he was near the ball on Sunday? They went mental!

[Yze_Magic 3]

press conference with Liam and Flash today.

And its official - his nickname is the WARLPIRI WIZARD.
