Jurrah to wear 24

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

In the immortal words of Lennon/McCartney ... "I'm not half the man I used to be".


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

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"...

Gippy

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?

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
