Jurrah update

Featured Replies

Posted

Was at the Junction oval today watching Jurrah, Strauss, and Spencer going through a few drills. I couldn't help but notice LJ moving so freely, leading and marking over his head at full pace. I asked how far away he Is and was told he's ahead of schedule, maybe playing 2's In a couple of weeks.

 

Saw him in Darwin and thought he was carrying a little around the midrift.

I thought that today also. He looked good sprinting in bursts but was struggling trying to keep up with the others when he had to run more than 50 meters. Id say he'll need a few weeks at Casey before we see him line up for the Dees. Would be great If he could be back for QB but I don't think he'll make it.

this is fantastic news. you would think he's fitness should be ok as he would have been walking/jogging almost straight away he would be close too full training without contact. By the sounds of things i am really hoping for queens birthday but when his ready his ready can't wait.

 

Good news but we need to make sure he is right before he plays

No doubt we have missed him in our forward line

you would think he's fitness should be ok as he would have been walking/jogging almost straight away

l don;t think this is right and might need to temper that expectation unfortunately/give him time to work his way back to full fitness - With serious shoulder injuries you often aren't allowed to even walk/jog for 4-6 weeks at all, as it can create undesired movement post operation.

I'd be pumped just to see him running and kicking again. If in 4 weeks he's playing at Casey, he could be used in the seniors. Watt's played a half last week pretty much and was useful. Jurrah could be used in the same way (though not simultaneously)... and I reckon come the end of the year we'll be getting a steep climb in Watts' fitness as he's being forced to stay on the ground. And if we don't? Jurrah is a sensational like-for-like replacement.

If you can get 2-3 goals a game out of him, that will go a long way to keeping us in the finals race.

Liam would have done no running for weeks after that injury. You cannot run with a dislocated shoulder. The running gait would put constant movement on the shoulder joint.

He would have done very little apart from maybe leg weights in the gym.

I'd be pumped just to see him running and kicking again. If in 4 weeks he's playing at Sandy, he could be used in the seniors.

If in 4 weeks he's playing at Sandy, WTF is he doing on St. Kilda's list all of a sudden?

FYI - Casey is now our VFL affiliate.


Hahahahaha

:lol:

Before everyone gets excited, Mfc have made it clear that all the players must earn selection.

Possible timeline (speculative) for return:

Round 10 Geelong - NA

Round 11 Carlton - NA - maybe return in 2nds ? (June 5)

Round 12 Collingwood - in Casey 2nds/seniors ?(June 14)

mid year break - could play in Casey seniors again. (June ~19/20)

Round 13 Adelaide - in Casey seniors ? (June 27)

Round 14 St.Kilda - in Casey seniors ? (July 4)

Round 15 Essendon - I'd say (speculative guesstimate) this might be when Jurrah returns. At the G. Possibly the St.Kilda game a week earlier at Etihad if things have gone well.

Before everyone gets excited etc

Too late for that. But really I'll just be happy to see him at some point this year, moving freely and terrorising backlines.

:lol:

Well worked out- I think the club will be very conservative with him. We do not want him to break down

That seems about the best we can hope for HT. We must always remember that we want Jurrah as a key part of our forward line for 2011, 2012 and 2013 when we win the flag. Rushing him back now would be exceedingly shortsighted.

As long as we get a look at the future forwards some time this season I'll be happy. Watts, Jurrah, Bate, Bennell and Wona in at the same time will be enough to frighten any team in the competition. Whether it's Green, Miller, Morton or Martin in there with them is open for debate, but it's looking good.

I'm in No rush to see him back too soon. I want to see him play his great skills... But NOT before his Shoulder is Back to FULL Strength.

Get strong JapalJarri.

 

The way I see it, we keep ourselves 'thereabouts' for the bulk of the season and then aim to finish off with four in a row to storm into the finals with the full team sorted out, back together and with several weeks of match fitness behind them.

We finish with

Richmond,

Hawthorn

Port (aami)

North Melbourne

It is do-able. Hell, we could be knocking three other teams out of our way in the last three rounds.

That is how I see the fairytale, anyway.

This timeline is way off. LJ is still 4-5 weeks. That would see him potentially playing a half for Casey 2s when we're playing StK. Then this schedule gets going. I'd be hoping to see him back around Rnd 19.

Sorry to ruin the party.

  • 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.
