And my vote got him across the line!

I think the award is voted on by the 5 members of the All Australian Panel.

Liam wins a medal. Those who voted for Liam have the chance of winning some petrol.

Hope it is one of us.

Howcome you edited that 45HG?

Did I get something wrong there? Newton in '08, Jurrah in '10?

You know what the hardest thing about taking that mark was for Jurrah? The media attention after, and particularly the interview up on the podium. Did anyone see his face when they announced it? I reckon he went whiter than Kyle Cheney. It's so interesting that a moment like THAT is when you see the whites of his eyes... but sailing for a mark over the head of a 195cm, blonde, pretty-boy, #1 draft pick, standing bolt upright, then taking it clean as a whistle and hurtling head first towards the deck? What does he do then? Just casually stretches out the cramp in his calf.

I reckon when most mortals take a grab like that (everyone has one or two in them) what they fear is the impact of their hands, face, behind, whatever on the turf. When Jurrah goes up for his next one of these, I reckon if he drops it it'll be because he's seeing the microphone and TV cameras that he'll inevitably have to stand in front of.

Congratulations Liam. So much untapped potential, it wouldn't surprise if he delivered GOTY an MOTY in the same year. Keep on thrilling us LJ.

Our congratulations to LJ also.

It is really amazing to see how far he has travelled personally in only 2 years. He was naturally nervous on stage (as were a few others esp Jack Riewolt) but responded well and with good humour to Barge's questions.

Loved his response when asked whether he could produce an even better mark by saying "yes. in a year or two'.

Surely there must be odds already for him getting the GOTY and MOTY double!! :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the GOTY and MOTY winners get $2500 in fuel and a Panasonic TV pack thing? Worth over $9000 apparently...including a 65" TV.

Liam can watch his mark in HD on a big screen now :)

No-

GOTY-Panasonic pack=$9000

MOTY = $2500 Caltex petrol

This is my understanding

No. eth was correct.

MOTY gets the Panasonic System PLUS the $2,500 petrol. Goddard argued the case for MOTY to get something more substantial.

GOTY gets the Panasonic System only.

You are right. Liam gets the $9,000 Panasonic & the $2.500 fuel.

Well done Liam.

I was speaking to my mate who is in Yuendumu last night (and happened to be eating Lasagne with LJ while we were speaking), and he said that Liam was joking that to get his full value for the years supply of petrol he was going to drive to Yuendumu and back each week!!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
