Haha have to laugh when you here that if he plays ok in the VFL he will be considered for selection...

OF COURSE HE IS CONSIDERED!! It's Liam Jurrah FFS...

He is the only game breaker we have! 1 week Casey, then straight in.

    I will definitely be going. Surely, regardless of how rusty he is, Casey will be a one week stop over for LJ and then back in the Red and Blue.

    I would hope that he would be a walk in to the side. But if Neeld stays true to his own structure and culture building Liam will need to show the work effort on field to even be considered. Because the one thing you realize after not playing Sylvia on Sunday is that Neeld is adamant in maintaining an elite atmosphere at the club. It doesn't matter if you are the most skilled player if you don't work hard on the track and on the field you will not get into the starting line up.

    Give me an unfit and undiciplined Jurrah or Sylvia over a Joel MacDonald, Tom McDonald, Lynden Dunn or who ever else that isn't AFL standard.

    Face - palm.

    Yeah, let's keep flogging that dead horse too.

    Let's remove the undiscipline and improve the fitness and then we might get somewhere.

    FFS.

    And they'll serve up the same inconsistent tripe we've had for nearly two decades. Teams that are on top of the ladder but can't get near a bottom eight side. Teams that play in a GF but next year miss the finals.

    Give me a team with discipline and who are accountable, and then we will develop great players. Good kids need the right environment to make sure they become C. Judd not C. Sylvia.

    I know what your saying but Stevie J would probably suck and be seen as a cancer if he wasn't at Geelong...

    You don't need 22 amazing role models who are always consistent... Every team needs some wild cards who can break it open, people who are a bit different.

    The discipline that Neeld is asking from his players is mentioned in the article on the MFC website Bail talks about DI's - Desire Indicators Bails were chasing, spoiling and tackling. Liam's may differ but not by much as Neeld continually refers to the team needing to develop Basic Defensive Principles as a base. I think as long as Liam is working hard and showing elite endeavor even at casey he will have every chance to be called up.

    So its good to hear he is champing at the bit

    Lets hope not... that sounds like a 4 to 6 week injury.

    Tell him we are all jumping out of skin to see him back on the field!

    Cant wait to see him in action again everyone is behind him for a big big year.

    Awesome news. I hope he tears them apart. 5 tackles and a few goals should do to get him back in the seniors the week after right?

    That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!! Can't wait to see him roaming the arc for the boys, can't wait to see the synergy between Clark and Jurrah, see the kid crumb a few. Might have to make it down to Casey!

    I'm pretty sure Stevie J has been pulled into line a few times at Geelong. And regardless, apart from Jurrah I don't think wer have anyone of that ilk (i.e. Able to rip a game apart regularly).

    I remember the Geelong players pulled Garry Ablett aside and said you may be an ok player, but of you want to be the best you need to step up your efforts on the training track. Do you think anyone ever did that to Sylvia? If they did, he didn't tasker it on board and it probably wasn't a requirement to exceed mediocrity.

    • 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.
