Clear out the 50.

Let him perform

The feather foot

:-)

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 ....

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.

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!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
