I'm not sure how many people are aware, but Liam Jurrah has kicked 50 goals in his first 20 games. He is only the second player in the past decade to do this (last player was the Eagles, Troy Wilson). So in case anyone doubts Liam's credibility as a genuine star, it's worth noting he's kicked more goals in his first 20 games than was kicked by Buddy Franklin, Johnathon Brown, Anthony Rocca or Brendan Fevola. Only 25 other players in the 150 plus years of the VFA/VFL/AFL have equalled Liam's achievement - the Dees' Alan Jakovich was one of them.

wow go liam! superstar of the game!! dont reckon we have seen the best of this unique beast..

He really has made an impact form day 1. His seamless transition from the outback league to AFL is most impressive, almost unbelievable.

Great Stuff Liam.

Cannot wait to see him rip it apart in September on the MCG, it is going to happen.....

Rude Boy-You have declared him all along as a future superstar.He is going to be one.And the glory is not with the Magpies-with the demons. Go LJ- GO DEES.

What a star.

And Troy Wilson is a household name? Who?

Let's hope we get more out of him than WCE and Wilson

On a serious note, I think I probably take it for granted that he'll kick some goals and give me some moments worth turning up to the footy for, so it's good to be reminded he's played less than a seasons's worth of games.

Without doubt he's one of the most exciting players I've ever seen in the red and blue. He's up there with Farmer and Jakovich as far as freakish talent goes. Schwarz pre-knee was also in that group. If this is what LJ's been able to achieve in his first twenty games, the mind boggles as to what he can become...

That's so true Strawbs

and what is such a bonus is that he appears to have arrived without personality disorders - the type of individualism that infects the team ethic and eventually erodes it.

His only fault seems to have been that English is not his native language.

All power to L. Jurrah
