Jurrah to Port?


Jordie_tackles

Recommended Posts

This annoys me, we help him, treat him and do what is best for him.

Let him join his family etc when he needs it.

Then he can walk straight to Port in the PSD for nothing, after everything we did.

Anyway he also looks like a thug in teal and black, much bettter in red and blue

Im annoyed as well, we backed him and left no stone unturned for him this year and he just walks out.

[censored].

This attitude annoys me, you and I cannot possibly comprehend the [censored] this bloke has gone through over past year or 2. He is an aboriginal elder amongst his people who are in a civil war. His family are living in Adelaide, a couple of thousand k's away from their home and unable to return. I am actually amazed that he is attempting a comeback and if he can get fit enough to play at the top level again good luck to him. It is not about reward for the Melbourne football club, and the what about me/us attitude, I wish him well and thanks for the all the too brief moments as a Demon

One I am not sure he is an "elder" or if that even exists what I believe is that he is basically a man of age in his tribe with which comes responsibilities of its own.

Anyway, i understand that he had things to deal with, but the way he walked out, was reported to not be playing football for a period to settle his life, and leaves us with nothing for our investment this is a business.

I am all for him getting the best for himself and family etc, but at least give us something back when you leave, a late pick etc, trade for Rodan or something.

Thats a good way to look at it and I fully understand what your saying. Let me ask you this though, couldnt he have stayed on our list lived in adelaide and requested a trade to Port? Im sure melbourne would have let him go and we would have received something in return.

Port would not have traded anything for him....He is being given a chance to train and there are no certaintees that they will pick him up......

I don't understand the logic of compensation

Scenario:

I have a job, go on a bad trot and move interstate back to family to sort myself out. Why should my previous employer, who admittedly did offer as much as they could to me, receive compensation?

How is a football club different to real life anymore? Just a job

If it could be proved he was lured to walk from Melbourne we might be eligible for compensation from Port?

Easier to prove that the Man on the Moon was a fake.......

I don't care about compensation, I just find the whole situation very sad.

Well the compo does not exist but I agree totally.

Would be the end for me if Jurrah puts on a match winning 5 goal performance against us in round 1.

Oh Princess really!!

Hahahahahahahaha do you have ANY understanding of football? If you're scenario applied then any player could just walk club to club. Geez you ever heard of the "trade period" mate. Far out.

If a player walked from the MFC and three months later was joining Port?

Or

If a player walked from the club to spend time with his distressed family prior to a court hearing for an alleged machette attack?

I imagine Jim would be compassionate and understanding but a little [censored], like many of us seem to be.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
