(Too) Great Expections?

Hands up anyone else who thinks that the return of Jurrah is generating too much of a frenzy on this site.

I revelled in his tricks last year and remember the game against the Saints especially fondly, but he is not what we really need: a key position forward.

He is an x-factor who will be good for 2-3 goals a week, most weeks, IF he is able to adapt to and overcome the extra pressure that will be on him in future.

There is far too much expectation on a bloke who struggled in the pre-season games to cope with the added attention, who is coming back from a serious injury and who last year caught the footy world by surprise.

I really hope he kicks on. He has got cult following and crowd drawing appeal all over him but just tone it down a bit, eh?

Yeah. Shame on us for getting excited about something.

What we need is a good forward. Jurrah is a good forward.

he is exciting and we should be excited

dont think many of us said he would kick 7

happy to see him in the seniors in a month afta some fitness

 

Why didn't he kick 14 goals for Casey?

It was only the VFL, he should be dominating!

Not acceptable.

I fear he'll never be as good after this injury and will probably return to the Tiwi islands before the season is out.


I agree enforcer, from memory, he wasn't even playing on an AFL defender from williamstown. Should have kicked a goal every time the ball went inside 50, regardless of the disgraceful delivery in there. I do fear now that he is just going to be an average VFL player who we should look at offloading at year end IF we can get anything for him, otherwise, just delist and redraft Robbo...

Before off-loading - as some have suggested to the tiwi islands, surely they could trial him in the back pocket as a last resort. He's got that X-factor for that pigeon holed position. Perhaps trialling him for the kick out down back might be a worthwhile punt too. Seeing as though Grimes has some worried.

 

I keep saying not to get your hopes up with Jurrah this season. Nobody seems to listen. Give the guy time to get his game back together, then you can expect magic.

Must be a quiet day. Nobody sucked in yet.

Or perhaps the critical reading skills have improved.

Quiet day definitely.

Can't give the target audience too much credit.
