I think Liam will be under quite a bit of scrutiny this week. He's got to run harder, lead again and again (even when it's not honoured) and put in some second and third efforts to tackle and apply pressure in our forward line.

I'd rather see him do that than kick 5 snapped goals and take mark of the year.

Doesn't matter if he kicks 10, if he won't do the team things, like chasing hard nad banging bodies and tackling, he's No use to us as a footballer going forward.

We'd still have exactly the sqme problem we've had in the past with other medium forwards that just wanted to do the limelight step, and not put forwardline Pressure.

Forwardline pressure has always Been the domain of the BIG Game winner! Jurrah Is Not.... so far

 

I heard somewhere not sure where hasn't he been carrying a calf strain?

I'd be happy with three and like others some real defensive effort.

Same goes for Petterd if he plays forward really need to show some

Defensive will when they haven't got the ball.

He has, well, at least he's been playing with a Bandage on it... But he's still crossed that famous White Line & hasn't even caught a sniffle, Let Alone the fever! By the Way, how many years with AFL clubs now???

Yep, Diablo, the same with Peterd, but he may get pushed higher tomorrow, he's been playing high & mid, so they may want to test him in the clinches.

You have all got it wrong.

We have A goal kicker.

Let him kick goals, and let bennel tackle.

If capper and modra can kick a century, so csn jurrah if given tje opportunity. And dont tell me modern football is different . I wont buy it.

Great and we'll just let the other team waltz out of their defence much like they have been all year shall we? :wacko:

 

I dont understand how he could be picked against the premiers if injured . Hope I don't sound culturally insensitive but he needs to spear a few this week , as well as drag some some back to the fire .And he has to hunt and kill his own as well as share with the tribe .We need him to be DEADLY ....

Agreed . Everbody tackles all the time . No exceptions .


Why 8?

All the team really needs from Liam Jurrah is a return to the dangerous player he was on Melbourne's forward line late last year and in some games earlier this year. Over the past month, he's been more or less ineffective, giving us one less avenue of attack and opposition teams one less player to worry about. Of course, that just about epitomises our forward set up at present.

So, what we need is a KillamanJurrah? :)

It is not that he doesn't want to- he can't- not fit enough-needs at least another two pre sesons to fully mature his body, fitness thus chase accordingly.

One of the biggest criticisms of Fev was his unwillingness to chase and tackle.

If your not willing to go when its your turn the entire team is let down. A slack forward

Will be carved up by a running defender every day of the week if their not willing to tackle.

Jurrah will never kick 100 he is a 3rd tall 50 to 80 a year would be ideal.

I think that is one of the issues. We clear out the forward line, problem is the players forget to go back there when we have the ball, then we do what the crowd calls for "Kick it long" but wait nobody is home.

The old saying "The light is on but nobody is home" doesn't even apply, cos there aint no light either.

I would like to see us at least keep Jurrah or Howe in the forward 50 all day, so there is always at least one marking option in there at all times.

Wont happen though.


If he isn't close to goal all day I will throw my monocle in disgust.

C'mon JCB that is just letting the guy off far too easily.

I watched Liam pretty closely the past few weeks. Lots of hands on hips and static ball watching type stuff. Too much of it. And he wasn't breathing hard either.

Lead hard Liam. And lead often!

Watch out Liam - Demonland is turning.

Miller and Juice were loved once here as well.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    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?
