As I was watching the Geelong, Melbourne game last weekend one of the commenters labelled Liam Jurrah the most exciting talent in the AFL (Cant remember who) This got me thinking about who else would be in that category. Reading between the lines I figured they ment new talent or someone from the last couple of drafts. When I say exciting talent I don’t mean who is going to be the best player but more who is the most gifted. The only other player I could come up with was C Rioli.

Both are extremely gifted players with different attributes. Rioli is great in close, winning his own ball and applying pressure (eg the grand final) while Jurrah seems a more outside player with beautiful disposal, a great leap and mark.

If they were both on offer at this years draft who would you take? Looking at it from purely a talent side of things I would have to choose Jurrah. The X factor with him is just massive. He could be absolutely anything if his desire can match his ability.

    Jeff Farmer was like that on his day. '98 & 2000 Seasons some of those games he played were insane. The Indigenous Boys are like that though. The X Factor.

    And Liam Jurrah is going to be the Best of them all.

    Believe me, the best is yet to come.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
