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?

Odd. I saw a couple of occasions last year where people tried that on him and he didn't even acknowledge them. I remember in particular one incident. His man had been trying to get him involved in some shoving and Liam just turned his back and walked away. It stuck in my mind because the camera got a great shot of the guy (I don't remember who) reaching out and pinching Liam's arm as he walked off. What struck me at the time (aside from what a low down dirty petty and pathetic act it was) was that Jurrah seemed not just unconcerned, but above it. He really seemed to consider it beneath him to engage in that crap.

Still, we've hardly seen anything of the guy, and I can't realistically base an opinion of his mental approach on one incident in one of the handful of games shown on TV last year. It will be very interesting to see how he comes on this year and whether this theory turns out to be closer to the mark than any of us would want to believe.

I was wondering if the muslces in his arms had cramped up also. He didn't seem to be able to extend them...

Like all Dees fans I love the guy, and am praying it was a stomach bug of some description.

Spoke to someone who might know & he said Grover is a "tough" opponent, as in can be quite fearsome, & this may have worked on LJ. Also could have been a case of indigenous players sometimes not playing well on some other indigenous players.

And another 15 clubs are rueing the fact that they did not draft him.....Hmmmmmm!

Carlton might be. We don't 3 battler midfielders who aren't great at clearances but we do need someone to help Jurrah. A team who finished last on the ladder shouldn't get rid of their leading goal kicker who missed half the year due to injury, they need all the goals they can get.

He played a shocker for sure, but I wouldn't stress over it. He was actually quite Jet lagged and had hardly had any sleep the night before the game.

I also wouldn't take too much notice of Liam's pre-season form at all - he's a big occasion player. Believe me, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

I hope Brad Green Goes forward with him and Matty Bate myself.

I hope so too. Green has always been more damaging as a forward pocket, but he always seems to be playing higher up the ground. Bate has been injured for a fair while and usually plays his best football further up the ground. Sylvia has all the attributes to help this club turn around but going on last weeks game I wouldn't hold my breath and they should just play Morton forward instead of allowing him to grab cheap kicks down back, get him into a position where he can actually make a real difference, he's 192cm who can take a mark and has a huge engine. Why not try and make him dangerous?

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
