Story on ABC 1 Melbourne 7.30 Report on Liam Jurrah in a few minutes.

Thanks Maurie!

Fantastic! what a thrill to see this young man in action on and off the field again.

Some very interesting comments came out of the item

1. His Elders and family support him wholeheartedly being down here - so much so that they would send him back down here if he wanted to head home

2. DB quoted as saying that it is hard to tell how long he will be around but he gets the distinct impression that LJ is a determined young man who will be around for a while to come.

3. He went home last year to nurse his best friend through his last days of a fight with cancer.

4. The Coll@£$od coterie that brought him down originally seem like a terrific bunch (Does not compute :blink: ) and honored him recently at one of their Dos.

5. He is obviously quite the character

Had me smiling from ear to ear ;)

Doh!! missed it? what was it?

Brilliant, A great insight to what this guy has done to get here and where he is from. A really good question was posed to Dean Bailey about how long he will play AFL, He paused and said he didn't know. I really really hope hope he will be a 10 year player, I love to watch this bloke !!

Brilliant story. Now have even more admiration for Liam, after seeing some action on the Yuendumu footy ground.

You should be able to pick it up tomorrow at the 7.30 Report website.

Thanks ever so much. I am really grateful to those of you out there who are able to share the technology to help the rest of us out.

He already is a star of the competition.

Correct weight.

And he plays for Melbourne.

Gods be praised.

Thanks for the link, that was a great story.

He already is a star of the competition.

Thanks to the 7.30 report I was able to see that goal over his head! I missed the first 20 mins of the game. What an amazing effort.

Came over as a really pleasant, humble guy and considering English is not his first language, he spoke quite well.

Can't wait to see it again tomorrow. Thanks Maurie!

It hasn't been uploaded by the ABC yet. I would suggest trying later today or tonight. The Video Link will be on the Transcript page just above the Pic of the Warlpiri Wizard.

He quite impressive as a bloke...very humble...but steely determined. Firstly I wish him al the success in fotball and in life outside of it. He is a proud and rightfully so ambassador of his people.

I think as a club we are incredibly lucky in having him, not just for the obvious football proess he has but to be honest the limelight it brings to the club. The attention he has garnered has focused a lot of media interest on the Melbourne footy club and he is instrumental in showing us in a very favourable light.

Thankyou:)

Totally agree. LJ is a great ambassador for his people.

This was one of those stories that puts a lump in your throat. Proud to be a Demon.

I loved the bit where the elders would put him on a plane and send him back to Melbourne if he tried to go back. It would seem, as a Warrior Elder, LJ has some unfinished business to do down here. And aren't we glad he has!!!!!!

Fantastic video.

I hope Bailey is right and he'll play for as long as he is physically able to. Too often we see these amazing talents emerge and disappear quickly.

Love the skinny lattes too. Well done Liam, you're a real Melbournian now! :D

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
