Just mentioned on SEN, with more to follow, that Jurrah has quit the club. If this is the case a sad day for the club. All the best Liam, thanks for the great couple of years!

 

I was going to right "disrespectful", but I will wait a short while to have a think about the events.

I believe he wants to play in Adelaide or not at all.

And here's the story from the Age, wants to play for a SA club:

Jurrah quits Demons

Be even worse to see him playing against us!

He wants to continue playing footy in Adelaide.

The season's over but the torture continues unabated.

Good luck to Liam all the same.

At least request a trade then so we can get something for him.....

The club should be cutting all ties now and not help him out with his legal battles anymore.
 

Surely we should get some type of compensation?.....


Can't say that I am shocked by this but I think billy is right jurrah out boak in

Just when you think you've been kicked enough times, something else comes along.

This is just about the biggest kick in the guts I could ever imagine.

Never thought I could feel so low about footy and this club, but there is just no hope left, no light at the end of the tunnel, just nothing.

We pluck this guy out from nowhere, we support him, we set him up, and he gets into trouble and spits in our faces.

I can't judge him, I simply can't, but FFS this just kills.

Football just cannot get more painful.

Why would either Adel or Port give up a draft pick for him when he might end up in jail.

He'll walk to the draft where no other club will touch him and ether Adel or port will take him with a late pick or even in the rookie draft.

Melb will end up with nothing!!!

So disappointing.

This year. So over it.


Fantastic Job Aaron Davey is doing...

The club should be cutting all ties now and not help him out with his legal battles anymore.

Yeah that would be the decent thing to do wouldn't it?

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!

This all started with a broken wrist. If he hadn't broken his wrist he wouldn't have had the time off to be in alice springs and he wouldn't have been caught up in the situation. plus he probably would have played more than a game for us this season.

urgh

Am I the only one who feels a sense of relief along with the disappointment?

You must be, because all I feel is dread that he'll tear it apart at Adelaide or Port next year, while we continue to rot at the bottom of the ladder with our mostly talentless list, and our lack of forwards.

Friggin horray!

Edit: if he was walking away from footy, I'd say "fair enough". It's been a tough road for him, and he's in for a whole lot more pain. But to walk away from our club, after everything we have done for him, is just too hard to swallow.

Edited by Jaded

Liam's priorities in life are different to those of most of the players at the club. Not right or wrong, just different and I respect him for this. A brilliant talent, who will be missed.

I wish him all the best. I wonder what impact Jim's departure has really had on the club.

This has been staring us in the face for months.

I am not in the least surprised.

Move on he is gone.

get the best we can out of it if anything.

Am I the only one who feels a sense of relief along with the disappointment?

not me, i was holding out for an amazing comeback... unrealistic but it was worth hoping for. now that's been dashed

Am I the only one who feels a sense of relief along with the disappointment?

I'm not disappointed by it. Disappointment comes with expectation and I certainly did not expect Jurrah to play for us again.

Although, if I ever see him in Adelaide hoops or Port's black I will be heart-broken.

No Nasher I feel the same.

In spite of him saying he wants to play in Adelaude.

IMO there are clearly more important things than playing AFL for LJ

  • 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.
