Liam Jurrah

I hate when people label players but I can't help it, I think this kid is going to be very special. I love watching him play. He is going to bring people to the game to see him play and hopefully draw more members for us. He will fill the highlights videos and bring real excitement back to the game. I can't wait to see him let loose in the forward line for a whole game with other good players around him. Scully to Jurrah, goal. We are in for exciting times.

You just never know what he's going to do next, and that unpredictability will be great to market to. I mean WTF can you do about his goal today, he wasn't even looking in the right direction!

We've only seen the start of the Walpiri Wizard!

Yep, could have kicked 6-7 for the game if Bailey kept him on for the majority of the game. But every time we got within about 10-15 points off came Jurrah. The guy already has a large highlights reel, imagine the length of it in a couple of years (salivates). Jurrah is a champ, a freak, pure and simple.

Go the Kuuggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

He is magic.

Great to know that we're not losing that bit of x-factor with Robbo's departure. The Wizard has it covered.

His first goal was just stupid. I mean come on!

What about his one handed Grab in the first Q!!!

Even he was suprised. it just stuck.

I try to hold my excitement for the bloke, but it's just impossible!

While I was giving updates on todays game, I couldn't help but praise him! His efforts are unbelievable and at half time he was even with Hayes, Dal Santo and Montagna for contested possessions!!

A bit of a break to go home and see his family and friends, throw a few hundred dees jumpers around central australia, a solid pre-season and a full season of forward line action..... OMG! Liam I thank you! I have not been this excited since, dare I say it, Allen Jakovich!!!

And he looks like one of those players that will just love playing in front of the big crowds on the best ground in the world

Cherish the moment every time he runs out for the red and blue

Everything he does looks so.. effortless. Like its an automatic reaction.

Like there's nothing special at all about what he just did - it was purely just a natural progression of events.

When in fact almost every action is remarkable in itself.

Ok, I'll stop gushing... but this to me is son unexpected that I almost don't believe its real.

Once this guy has a preseason on the track and in the weights room, let alone 2 or 3.. WOW.

Not sure what the excitment is about.

Anyone who has taken a one handed at full stretch running with the flight of the ball or snapped one straight back over their heads from 25 out would struggle to comphend what the fuss is about.

Clown :lol: !!!!

... in their first AFL season, against the premiership favourites.

The only problem I have with Jurrah is that I now expect something magic everytime the ball is near him. I'm going to be disappointed if he doesn't take the mark of the year, or kick the goal of the year every game. It's a terrible problem to have.

I'm yet to watch todays game yet but it's hard not to get excited from watching Jurrah's progression each week. Perhaps Robbo could hand down the number 24 as well as the rights to being the new excitement machine in the forward line.

Now that is a great Idea. Robbo would be proud of that i reckon.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
