2010 Player Review - # 24 Liam Jurrah


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Missed the first half of the season with a shoulder injury. Took a couple of weeks to turn it on but had a real impact on several games with his goal scoring and defensive pressure. His confidence grew as the weeks wore on - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

Let's just hope we can get 22 games out LJ next year.

If he does I reckon we make finals.

We saw how dangerous he was in the last couple of weeks when he got some match fitness under his legs.

41 goals in his first 17 games!! Incredible...

I think the only opponent that can possibly beat him is his own confidence and injuries. He is already the most exciting player to watch I've seen at Melbourne, and could well be the difference as to whether we play finals or not.

Absolute freakzoid. And only a mere 17 games to hos name!!!

I don't want him to bulk up too much. He's naturally thin and should be kept that way due to his style of freakish play. Fitness is all.

Agree with all of the above mentioned. He alone is worth going along to watch to each and every game. Funnily enough, these type of players fit the bill for a term arguably rarely used in association with the mfc of recent times. It need not be mentioned again.

Stay fit LJ and you will shine brighter.

LJ is one of those rare players who is able to 'do the impossible' week after week after week. If he can get fully match fit, stay injury free, and get a couple of others around him (eg. Petterd and a reasonable goal square forward)to take some of the attention, he could become a household name (and I'm not just talking about Demonland Households!).

DOF...he ALREADY is a household name !!

if you were to poll all of footy land and ask but one question.

If you could poach just one player from any team...who would that be?

OK 'bub, it's the off-season, so I will concede you that one, and revise my assessment to "could become a household name across all football codes in Australia" ;) .

to quote Jack Trengove 'he's the biggest freak I've ever seen'

That comment was made in pre-season last year wasn't it? If he was already a freak to JT then, what does he think now? What is the next ascent from being a freak?

Super freak?

    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,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
