Jurrah to wear 24

The Backyard Charizard

Word has it that after Jurrah won the 'Harrold Ball Best First Year Player' award tonight at the B&F, Robbo presented him with the number 24 jumper....

Interesting....

    A poor idea in terms of merch sales for the club...

    Now everyone who had 24 keeps it... If he'd kept 48, everyone would have had to go out and buy a new guernsey!!!

    But in truth, a nice gesture.

    Nice gesture.... Yes....

    But I am actually not overly keen on the idea....

    But at the end of the day, as long as Liam is happy, then I am happy :D

    Agree. If Liam wanted it and is happy with it then it really doesn't matter what I think - not that it would anyway.

    Personally dont like the idea...

    Liam will create his own legacy and in doing so he should be able to give new meaning to a previously obscure number.

    Beside, Robbo is a PSDud.

    good move any numbers in the 40's look stupid. give the lower numbers to players who will

    be playing senior football. ;)

    Cut the pretence about numbers.

    Its fitting that a long serving MFC forward and one of its leading goal kickers of all time hands his guernsey to the best 1st year player of 2009.

    While I have been critical of Robbo's antics and efforts at times in recent years, he has a great record at the Club and is a life member.

    Some of the recent criticism for bagging his old club is unfounded and unnecessary since he clearly is on good terms with the hierachy. Comes a time when you part company.

    He may be at the end of his career but to label him a "PSDud" is cheap and ungracious and Robbo deserves better

    Nup. There was a time when Robbo was my favourite player, and I going nuts round22 for Robbo to kick a last goal to usher a great career. But since all the comments he has made to the media, I can't stand him. Can't be bothered going in to detail, but that's no way to treat a club which has treated you in the highest regard for over a decade..

    well said- one of our biggest goal kickers of all time FCS show some respect

    You're jumping a ghosts.

    I would not go into detail either.

    He deserves better treatment for his career achievement.

    He would not be at B& F doing what he is doing if he was guilty of your misguided allegations.

    I could see this coming. Although I would have liked to see him make the no. 48 his own, this will do. One of our best goalscorers passes down to a player who is most likely going to be our next (hopefully better).

    you need someone to photoshop that 48 off your pic there now hes changed. :P

    Perhaps Chris, Jimmy and Cameron could look at an anti-Robbo Stinkers' Stand to house the miscreants targetting Robbo on this site and Demonology. The Stand could replace the old smokers stand. Instead of watching the footy these heroes could bring their laptops and plug into the club's wifi.

    if he had stuck with 48, he would have been forever living in Darren Cuthbertson shadow

  • Quote

    Good.

    48 isn't a footy number. It's Greg Blewett's average at WACA against New Zealand.

    I don't really know if it is, but the guy was rubbish.

    Front foot pullshots?

    Get your hand off it...

    Oh, and Robbo has kicked the third most goals by anyone in our history.

    So, nuts to you, if you're going to sit there in your armchair-jury box and indict the guy for being bitter.

    I guess I'll wait till next season.

    But at last it's confirmed so I can go and buy the new jumper with 24 on it for next season!

    Better tell the Demon Store to stock up on their "2's" and "4's"...

    Great to see Robbo there giving encouragement to our new forward. I have heard him on radio often this year just in raptures over Liam Jurrah-so that's nice.

    And has probably mended a little of Robbo's angst over the last 6 weeks. Robbo will always be a great Demon., And to all of you Bagging Him.... GET OUT THERE & DO BETTER or SHUT IT.

    I am a little sad to see the no. 48 moved aside for Liam but i will get over it no doubt by the 1st Q next year.

    Go Liam & go Demons...

    Got to say that I see absolutely nothing wrong with having a number in 40s... (I loved seeing 45 on Whelan's back)

    but it is a nice gesture and is quite symbolic of where the club is headed.

    Its done now, so what is there to debate?

  • Quote

    Get off Robbo's back. He loves this club so much and because of that he is taking it really hard. Sometimes we say things we don't really mean when we are hurt and we hurt the one's we love most. Give him a break.

    He will always love Melbourne.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
