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!!

    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

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
