As Luke Ball is going to nominate for the National draft and has met both Malthouse and Buckley but not bothered to meet anyone from MFC is clearly not interested in playing for MFC and as DB noted on SEN it would be a very short conversation.

Hopefully MFC has already moved on and as they are up in Alice Springs area this week DB and Bary P should be putting all effort into securing Jurrah mark 2!!!!! "Lajamanu Lightning Bolt" as reported in the HUN today is Liam's cousin and some say an even better prospect! As comes fromsouth of Darwin, Aaron no doubt will be working on him also!

I agree, forget Ball and let's move on.

It would be great to pick up Jurrahcane's cousin and word is we are showing a lot of interest in Jack Grimes' brother as well. Hopefully we can get these guys with 34 and 50.

What still needs to be done though is to finalise our delistings, so we can use our picks. I think this has to happen by 2pm this Friday.

I agree, and what better place for Liam to come than with his cousin at Melbourne.

where do we play him....as a mid .. or just ask Jurrah and Patrick to go out and create whatever mayhem they can in whatever manner they feel fit ?? :LOL;

further thought.... play him as a winger... almost scary !!

If he plays a similar role to Jurrah and is as good as is being reported, I would put them both in the forward line.

St Kilda couldn't stop one Liam, I would like to see the other clubs try and stop two.

maybe put them on either flank with total licence. The prospect would send shivers up other's !!

Just let them play wherever they want. These guys don't need coaching. They merely find the ball.

Bailey could just sit back & enjoy the ride along with all our supporters.

imagine a Jurrah 2, along with all our other indiginous players....I gotta sit down!!!

These guys don't need coaching.

It might look like that but I remember one of Liam's coaches arcing up last year when Brian Taylor was rabbitting on about how Melbourne should not coach him. The point the NT coach made was that of course these blokes are coached and have been all their time playing football.

It's our cultural blinkers that make us think they aren't coached.

Agreed.

Fair Point, but i still say one should not Retard these boys from playing with all their natural Talents.

Maybe that is a better way of saying it.

Coach them during the week & on the Weekend just let them loose to weave their magic.

i agree with the title heading, lets get Usain Bolt as an international rookie... imagine him flying down the wing, or on the lead...

His disposal is questionnable, and he has tunnel vision. No peripheral.

Liam Patrick is a great player, very fast and possesses a phenomenal leap, perhaps even out doing LJ in that regard, if that's possible. However, his overall skills lack the silk of LJ. Overall, he' be a great pick up. Seems the Hawks are also interested in drafting him. His chances of succeeding in the AFL, however, would be far better at Melbourne where his cousin is located. Here's hoping.
