Liam Jurrah

Anyone notice him 3rd up in the ruck in the third I think it was?

He jumped so high he had to punch it in out in front of his nipple and I was still out of reach of all others.

I reckon he'd give that standing and running vertical leap a scare if he had have gone to draft camp. :rolleyes:

Was it the back of Raph Clarke's head he saved by sticking that mitt out and raking it back? Who ever is was turned with the expression WTF? The last place he looked for the ball was in Jurrahs hands. He obliged by showing it to him. Classic!

The only problem I have with Jurrah is that I now expect something magic everytime the ball is near him.

I don't expect magic everytime the ball goes near him, it just happens! Gotta love it, what a sublime talent. Great recruiting MFC and well deserved praise for Liam Jurrah.

In the last 20 years I have seen three players who have really excited me when they first started. They look the sort of players that could take an opposition apart on their own and often did.

Jakovich

Farmer

Schwartz

Jurrah goes very close to that bracket. If he develops into that quality of player then we have got someone very special..if he isnt that now. Clearly underdone without a pre season unde his belt. But next year if he is fully fit. He is certainly one to watch.

Still room for Scully, No 2 pick, Watts, Blease and Strauss, Morton to turn it on next year.

............................. and that's coming from one of the more conservative / pragmatic posters on this site! Wow!!

There was a game at Casey where he did (from what you've described) a similar thing. I was blown away.

It will be interesting to see how he (jurrah) copes with being the new number 1 target for the opposition backmen next season, personally i think he will relish it

he will love it the best thing about him is his arrogance he knows he is good and he isnt afraid to tellthe opposition about it

i remember the freo game where a dockers player dropped a mark and liam told him 2 use 2 hands classic stuff

If we're going to change his number then personally i feel 13 is a better fit, with Robbo leaving the club i sort of feel we should either give his number to a new guy or retire it for a year.

Thanks to all the Dees supporters who have embraced Liam in his first year of AFL footy. He's at a great club, and I truly reckon he'll be much, much better next year after he's completed his first pre-season training. He's absolutely loving his time at the Dees, surrounded by a great bunch of teammates and coaches. I've said it before, but i'll say it again...the best is yet to come!

Good work RudeBoy. Tell him to enjoy his break and we look forward to seeing his many special moments in the future. Truly a bright light in what was otherwise a dull season.

Obviously you guys had bigger fish to fry today but l do wish he could have been left one out at deep forward all day. He looked really up for it today, could have ended up with 7 or 8 and a huge addition to the highlight reel.
I said last week that he would kick 6, he could have easily kicked 8 had he been left up forward. Bailey's experimental moves went into swing before half time. I have been keen on Jurrah since drafted.

Everyone has been keen on him since he has was drafted. It's the most obvious talent we have had in a long long time.

Don't you just love it when RudeBoy says "the best is yet to come".... X factor alright. I agree with some posters thoughts relating to Jackovich and Farmer. I sense that everytime these guys are in the vicinity of the ball, anything can happen and more often than not it is the unexpected. 9 games in and Jurrah already has a highlights reel a mile long.

Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass on to Liam how much the Melbourne supporters care for him and that we are truly excited he is one of us. We look forward to sharing his football success with the Dees.

Don't worry Rude Boy We love him alright, make sure you pass on our encouragement. His one handed mark & First goal today was just sublime.

I hope Liam has a great off season & is ready next year to really kick on next year.

    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
