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.

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

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
