    He had a bad day, but the Cramp problem bothered me..

    Question.....Was that LJ's first interstate Match for the MFC?

    Yep. His worst game by a long way, the only way is up. Impossible to read anything else into it.

    HaHa! Thanks for elaborating so hard 45, you are the man of stats & Facts...I expect more from you!!! :)

    I hope it was just a really bad day, maybe didn't sleep well or something. The other options would be injury or attitude. Either of those would be a terrible thing, so I think I'll join the "shocking day" camp rather than consider them.

    He played against Sydney and Brisbane. Out of the 9 games he's played, 5 have been against interstate teams. He hasn't played Adelaide yet.

    Really, i can only recall MCG and the airport that he played. Although my memories of last season are rather dim, i have tried to erase the memory to some degree.

    I thought he may have had an off game because of travel. But obviously it was just an off game. Thanks.

    Rumour has it he had a finger injury at training, possibly a fracture which would explain the dropped marks. He also started off last year pretty slowly, at times in the VFL didnt look close to debuting for the dees but found form quickly. I wouldnt worry.

    I saw him play in Canberra last year against the swans. Did some magical things then limped off at half time and was not seen again until well into the last quarter. I was one of the few demon supporters there but was asked a number of times by Swans supporters "who is this guy? where did HE come from?" such was his impact on the game when he was up and firing. At his best he is one of our few game breakers

    There is a rumour that he is in his 2nd year of AFL football and may be like any other young footballer and has bad days. Remember this is only a rumour and yet to be substantiated by the Club.......

    Relax. 2nd year player in his 10th senior game puts in a shocker up forward as team gets pounded. What?

    Jurrah is human and he is going to have memorable days and crud days. Sunday was one of the latter.

    I read somewhere he had a bung finger.

    He dislocated or broke his finger in the intraclub game.

    Wasn't there a rumour a couple of hours before the game that he wasn't going to play? I think that there is more to it than he just had a bad game. There was something amiss IMO. He didn't have the usual LJ energy, not that he was helped by the amount or quality of the ball coming into the forward line.

    he'll be right. he was as lost the other day as the rest of the team. he will be targeted more ths year for sure, but it'll be a good test for him, i'm sure he'll show us some magic again. as u aussies say 'she'll be right!'

  • Quote

    He Difinetly went off injured in the intra club match i'm not sure why but he came back on. I think its a combination of ONE bad game and the fact its only Feb. I personally am not worried how he performs now as long as by round 1 he is fit an firing.

  • Quote

    i noticed his fingers were taped together on one hand.

    He definitely looked lethargic though and the cramping was strange.

    Being the only forward didnt suit him at all. I doubt he will ever be a workhorse type forward constantly leading up etc.

  • Quote

    I'm worried RR, that's one bad game in a row!

    He definitely had a few fingers taped together and it looked like it'd be pretty difficult to work with.

    I blame the previous administration for this problem. B)

    I just hope he lifts his work rate, as it was shocking last week.

    Rubbish. He was run all over the forward line by their backs. He's not a stand alone FF and in his 10th game after 1 preseason he is still coming to grips with the game at this level. The fact is he was buggered from all the running around in circles he ended up doing. This will improve with time and experience.

    Not rubbish at all mate. Were you there?

    He was lazy and dis-interested.

    I was on a wing and as most d's supporters would probably do, I had 1 eye on Liam Jurrah.

    He was run all over the FL by their backs?? Thats what you do in footy, run and chase.

    LJ hardly did either.

    Maybe it was the dislocated finger, maybe he was just crook - but he didnt want to be out there.

    It was obvious, no use trying to defend it..

    Im sure he'll be back to his best in no time, whatever the problem was.

    I think LJs one weakness long term will be mental. I dont think he likes the 'mental physical' stuff - when your opponent pushes you around gets in your face and roughs you up a bit - all part of footy - but I dont think LJ likes it at all!

    Seen it before once or twice, but it clearly put him off on sunday night..

    Has anyone noticed that?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
