Recommended Posts

Jurrah was one guy that made the footy an interesting spectacle despite us being terrible.

....and now it is Jumping Jeremy. Time to move on.

Although we would have to keep paying him, I wouldn't be at all bothered if the club rookied him. PA won't move on him until the rookie draft, if then. Why would they waste a spot n the main list when there's no competition for him and they don't know if he'll be available? Then we'd still have his contract to on-trade next year.

I'm OK either Pre or rookie. It won't cost us much because if he refuses to play, he breaks his contract which we don't pay. We sack him & he's out of footy for a further 12 months.

If he wants to Ef us over, after all we've tried to do for him, & he doesn't want to look after us as well, then >.

This was always going to end in tears.

And to think of the resources poured into Jurrah; the FOOTBALL MANAGER FFS went to Alice Springs to hold his hand; endless leaves of absence; all paid for by the MFC. Hope he reads Stynes book some time, but doubt it. He owes big time.

We are not a welfare agency. I hope like hell this cures many on this board and elsewhere of the cargo cult mentality, the quick/one fix. Jurrah had freakish athletic ability but little else. No intensity, no dedication, no professionalism, no ability to train at the required level.

AND NO LOYALTY.

Every player puts their family 1st, just ask Clarke. That doesn't mean you stuff everyone else that looks out for you, or puts in for you.

Just BS. Good riddance.

you know what Red..theres ways and means of doing things..A right way and a wrong way.

which way do you think Liams gone about things ??

Well, while I am personally gutted that he is leaving, I don't want to pass judgment until it plays out to its conclusion. For all we know the manager has just shot his mouth off. LJ says to the club he isn't playing anywhere until after his trial. We are also told in the Age that he wants to live in Adelaide. What if he says to whoever wants him that he will only join them if they do a fair trade with us? On the other hand he might be happy to leave us with nothing and go in the draft? If he does the former that is reasonable. If he does the latter you can imagine what I will think.

PS. Like some others I also think there is more to this story.

Dee-luded I don't believe it is about Principles.

There are laws he has done nothing wrong yet.

It is the AFL you have to be pragmatic

Forget vengeance

Just get the best from the situation.

No one at the MFC is going to waste a spot on the list to get even

It's being stubborn & standing ground to show we will, in future. I have no wish to maim him.

It is about standing behind a principle to show the footy world we will... Not just to hurt Liam.

But to force a real compensation if a player goes in a fashion designed to hurt us.

This isn't about a personal thing against Liam to me, so it isn't about Vengeance.

# A preseason or rookie pick is worth making a Statement.

In the end, if a club wants him, they can workout a deal.

Yep, in the shallow end of the *** pool. Thats for sure.

There is an old fashioned expression - "cutting off the nose to spite the face" which may be relevent here.

He has certainly shown no appreciation or gratitude for what the club has done for him, but I think that after a good night's sleep and one or two reality pills you may have second thoughts.

If we drafted him and he refused to play, he'd be out of all forms of the game for two years.

I think it's more important to show the footy world we will stand our ground, unless there is a Boak in the preseason draft, & if there is he won't make it to us anyway.

I hope he gets 20 years.

I honestly cannot recall ever seeing a post on these forums that has stooped so low. Unbelievable what some people will say just to be vindictive without taking even a moment to reflect on Liam's situation!!

I hope we abandon this foolish push in to Darwin, it will lead us nowhere.

Agreed, we have better things to spend our time on and not to mention the preparation and recovery time it takes. Focus on winning games of football.

re Davey

Maybe theres more validity in the off the cuff lambasting that you ridicule so quickly.

Davey does have a role as mentor of his 'brothers" Liam was one of the charges under his wing. So maybe there is a question to ask , how much might have Aaron known about Liam's inclination to go walkabout?

If he knew anything did he pass it on to the club ?

Whats wrong with asking these ?

it did and still does sound like a cheap shot at Davey and nothing you've added is anything other than speculation without any basis on facts, which is that Davey might have undermined the team, big call in my book to accuse someone of treason with no facts.

What about all those unsold Air Jurrah tshirts??

If your quick you might be able to [censored] them of in Adelaide .......hahahaha ....... I was going to buy one for my son, who absolutely loves Jurrah.....

I'm shattered....how I'm going to break it to him, who knows..... When Scully left us, my son said 'at least we still have Jurrah'...... He moved on quick from Scully....... I don't think he's going to recover as quickly with this news....

I haven't got the heart to tell him the latest news, yet....... This is going to be a tough week, for the young Demon.......

Totally devastated, after all this club has put in and the emotional investment of the members in him over his journey this feels like he's throwing it all in our faces. I have no problem with wanting to leave, but this has been done in a completely wrong way.

Also if anyone thinks PA would put an article like that on their website, before Melbourne have commented and not be trying to get him on their list you're mental. Clearly they are making a play, PA had no reason to write anything....

From the club website now:

“The Club will continue to provide personal support for Liam."

WTF?

Thats good of the club, we are handling things the right way.

This situation could get nasty at the trade table - or through the PSD or even worse,

so I like that the club is doing all it can atm, plus we don't know all the details.

I think Port will have to make a trade for Jurrah, I can't see any other way they get him.

We are looking at a second rounder I'd of thought.

    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
