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..

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.

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!

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 has just ruined the Cougar nickname.

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

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

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!

    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
