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.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
