Liam Jurrah - Youtube

Great work Deestroy, Geez that's exciting.

A few things i noticed from the videos; Jurrah looked like he was absolutley stuffed in some of those videos (WC game), which I take to mean that he will benefit greatly from a preseason and some extra fitness and strength.

He has the softest hands in the AFL, and his field kicking and decision making kicking into the 50 are just as good if not better than his marking and kicking for goal.

Also Bate looked impressive in a couple of instances, he is just getting to that size that he can break tackles and use his body.

A bit of luck with some injuries and we have 10-12 years of this kind of exciting football to come.

Yeah that passage where Bater broke 2 tackles through the corridor and handed it off was excellent. The way footy should be played, the way we rarely play because no one breaks the lines.

Haha, don't be silly...

10 bucks each, at least :D

It'll be a regular thing, it's very easy to do, I just attempted it at a week when my computer stuffed up and I had no blank DVDs (I went and bought 10 that are for some reason incompatible!) that weren't scratched.

It's funny, watching that video gave me all the jumpiness and excitement I get when the team is up and flying, but when I watched the game at the time I felt sick the whole time. Thanks for the reminder about how footy should make me feel.

And Jurrah. :wub:

Great video DA.

Apart from his other attributes, he has a real football brain. In the last qtr (I think) Bater was running in towards goal from the angle. I think he was considering handing it off to Liam, but Liam pointed towards goal to tell him to keep going.

The over the head goal while sitting of the ground was Jakovich like.

Don't know how many of you have watched/listen to Bails' full press conference after yesterday's game, but he alluded to having only "scratched the surface" with Liam Jurrah. He mentioned some of the amazing things he has done at training have never been seen by the football public.

Exciting times ahead.

How can Matthew Lloyds stupid little back heel win goal of the year and this doesnt even get a goal of the week nomination???

My favorite Jurrah moment from yesterday when he started giving his opponent advice about taking hold of the ball rather than punching, it was very funny.

Round 20 nominations have not been listed as yet - only rounds 1 -19 have been done.

Be patient people.

Thats exactly the style I imagined for, & hoped for, from him. He's not what I call quick, but is strong through the torso, so I imagined a couple of years back that ideally that should be his method, breaking tackles to break the lines or kicking goals.

Earlier I was critical of his hard hands & while I believe he doesn't possess the best hands, he's touch has improved with growing confidance & self belief.

I'm rapt with Baters progress over the last 2 months or so, finally stepping up.

Go Bater...

I think he is quick, I remember when he started at Sandy he showed really impressive bursts of speed and I was excited... but somewhere along the line that suddenly stopped and people started lamenting how slow he is. I put it down to either injury (scared to push himself) or laziness.

The last couple of months he's turned on the afterburners in quite a few games and put 5 metres on his opponents easily.

I hope to see more of it.

Go Bater indeed.

I don't recall that but it's possible. When Aaron started bulking up a couple of seasons back, he lost some zip but has since found that speed again.

I don't know that Baters quicker or not but he's attacking the contest a lot harder.

Agree. Even from the start of this season he's grown a leg. The first few rounds he looked really slow. I'm not exactly sure if he had a full pre-season or was a late starter. He appeared short of a run or top heavy and unfit.

I'm not entirely sure, and I'm just guessing but I think he's thinned down as the season has progressed and just gotten fitter and fitter. He's bursts or 'afterburners' around half-forward have really impressed me. Good on him. I'm rapt.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
