Jurrah or Scully

Featured Replies

Unrelated fear, but does anyone else get scarred Jurrah is going to get injured/someone is going to try to snap him every contest? He just seems so delicate- maybe it's just me..

at one point he pulled up looking proppy after a mark (or free kick?) and I tell you now i was nearly in need of a diaper

 

Won't be an issue - Jurrah will absolutely 100% never leave Melbourne (until the club want to delist him, that is).

 

MFCSS has been taken to a whole new level in this thread.

We're even hypothetically paranoid now. Dear god!

Wait until they find out by someone mentioning Sylvia comes out of contract at the end of 2011. God help us all.

OOps !

OH NOES!!!!!!!!!

EVERYBODY PANIC!


Jurrah is going to bring people though the gate. Even people who don't barrack for the Demons.

Jurrah will be the one kids talk about in the schoolyard; the one the kids will barrack for. They'll follow the Demons because that's who their man Jurrah plays for.

Jurrah = increased support, increased membership.

Scully is younger than Jurrah, and still has a heap of development to go. If I had to choose right now - Jurrah. In 2/3 years time Scully could be better, but there are no guarantees.

 

As I said last year, any of our young players being poached is a devastating loss. I want them all to stay, not for money, but because they are at the oldest sporting club in the game, playing with a group of like-minded talented young men and looking forward to winning multiple flags in the next decade. That is the culture we want every player to embrace. Any one of them deciding to walk is a nail in the coffin of the whole concept.


This discussion reminds me of the early 90's when Schwarz & Tingay were burning up the turf. Back then I would have kept the forward but now I would keep Scully. You will get a big return every week.

    The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

    “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

    It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
