Jimmy and LJ in Yuendumu

Featured Replies

Posted

This Sunday night at 6.30pm on Channel 7 Tim Watson will be reporting on his trip to Yuendumu with Jim Stynes.

 
 

Oh good. Tim mentioned on SEN that he was doing a liam Jurrah story. I just figured they would show it next season at a half time break or something. Glad that its going on a prime time high rating show. I was going to watch anyway because they were doing the story on Kurt Fearnley. The paralympian who has just finished crawling the Kokoda track.

Now I have another reason to watch.


As stated I've seen the highlights package on 7 this Sunday will feature the MFC

Trip to Yuendumu with Jim Jurrah and Tim Watson

must watch event if your heart beats true

Edited by Diablo Deemon

i saw the ad for it the first time tonight. It looks like it focuses more on Jim and his illness and the promise he made to Jurrah that he would go and see his homeland. As I have already written it looks like a very good story.

 

I've just been notified that the channel 7 special on Jimmy's journey, with Liam to Yuendumu will be aired this sunday night at 6.30pm.

I've set the video for this one. Simply can't wait!


Starts in a few minutes

you can't help but be inspired by jims positive outlook on his cancer, recovery and future....one amazing man

Good luck to both Jimmy and Liam.

Channel 7, next time send an experienced journalist who can actually put a cogent report together.

That was a mess.

Was that about Jimmy, Liam, the indigenous community?

Got to love the closing line, along the lines of he has an exciting future. Talking about Liam whilst the focus had been on Jimmy.

Typical tripe from people who don't really care.

Two different stories they couldn't quite tie together in the middle. On there own two amazing stories.

Great to see a positive story about aboriginal communities and role models from the community.

inspirational, which ever way you see it. Go Jimma/Go Liam :wub:


For those who didn't see it (like me) just head HERE and it's a 'featured video' on the main page :D

EDIT: After watching it, you are spot on Cards.

Huge opportunity missed. There was no juxtaposition between Liam, Yuendemu and Jim other than being a place to visit. I was waiting for some sort of connection about the life journey that both were making, but it never came. They could have done the interview with Jim in a studio somewhere and it wouldn't have mattered.

Really Glad the Story was done. But it was badly written.

But we got an insight into how strong and inspirational our President is.

Jim & this club are going to rise. Beforehand i already knew it. Now i know for sure .

Agree with pretty much all of it.

Loved that I got to see big Jim and hear him speak, loved that I got to see LJ, love that I saw a snippet of his community - but honestly it was poorly done, almost like they thought it would write itself.

Thoughts are still with Jimma


While it was good to see Jim and LJ, the whole story was a mess! Badly written, badly reported and very sloppily edited.

Totally agree, would have loved to see them speak to people who grew up with LJ , had something to do with his early football, & given us more background on LJ's journey.

They should have concentrated on 1 story instead of giving us 2 half ones which they failed to connect

was funny hear ANdy Maher on SEN pump up Tim's tyres about the story, you'd think he had just produced an Oscar winning doco

anyway good to see plenty of red and blue in the red centre.

I thought it was interesting. The club has worked well with Liam and his english. What about when Jim and Tim were sitting around the fire and Jim talking about his cancer and mentioned it being fun or something and Tim just looked straight at Jim and said Jim it's not fun.

Anyway Jim is still the most positive person I know and it was good of him to keep his promise to Liam and fly to where he gre up.

On another matter did anyone see the first story on Kurt Fearnley. Man that guy is a genius. What he achieved was remarkable.

Wow. Cant believe the responses here!

Let me say 1st - I HATE channel 7 as much as the next person -

Havent had the station programmed into any TV Ive owned since they lost the footy in 03' and went with Fox when they got it back in 06'.

So cheers toot182, wouldnt have seen it if it wasnt for your post.

I thought the story was great!

I dont know what people were expecting. Cant see how it was poorly written or edited.. or presented- (and I usually cant stand Tim Watson either ;) )

There were highlights of jimmy and LJ as they went thru a recap on the players stories so far and i thought the connection was obvious:

Theyre both Men on a life changing mission now, and the fact that they both have come from nowhere to play AFL, as their history shows.

Thought the campfire thing was a nice touch and wasnt too sugary.

Would have loved to have seen more, but they can only give each story 10 mins, and we'll see the full doco in March anyway.

Edited by DemonDan...

I thought it was clumsy.

I would have preffered that they did the stories seperately. I really don't see how Jim's story adds to the story of the man from Yuendumu and vice versa.

It seemed pretty contrived.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
