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!!

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
