That would be great news in a rubbish season

I bloody hope so, would love to see him running around in the Red & Blue again.

I hope there is more to this than a scuttlebutt rumour.

 

Jurrah getting back on track

Peculiar sense of deja vu.


I am glad he is getting it back together but jeez, he is a long way from the AFL right now.

Really good to hear that we have helped him and that the boys visited him, but if he wants back in the AFL his footy needs to do some serious talking and his behaviour some seriousness.

And we will win the last two games by 10 goals!

I will believe it when he runs out in his first game for casey.

 

I would love to see it happen... give him a contract with a zero tolerance clause in the event he steps off the straight and narrow.

Would be a great story and would possibly be a real morale booster for the rest of the team considering them seem to still regard him quite highly.

Nice photo of an LJ hanger in his return game in the NT.

Whether he comes back or not, I think it's fantastic the club have stayed in touch with him and cared about his welfare.


If he wanted to come back to the Dees it would be great, but only with a highly conditional contract. But wow if he could get back to his best form it would be bloody fantastic! I was very sad when he went off the boiler.

It's food for thought anyway.

I've been Liam's biggest critic, but If PJ deems Liam to be rehabilitated, then I see no reason why he couldn't play for us again.

Leave it in the hands of PJ, he is the only bloke getting things right around this rabble.

It could be a good thing, although we do have a glut of forwards at the moment. I could see us with Jurrah on one wing and Watts on the other though. Could be interesting.

I wonder if the club will keep Aaron Davey on in a coaching/player welfare role.

Would love to see him back, give him a rookie spot, get him over now and into training that will see how committed he is


Imagine that forward line; Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Howe, Jurrah, Kent!..... If only we had a midfield to get it to them!

I have in the past supported LJ but I think it would be a very long bow to draw that he will resume his AFL career (with us or anybody else)....I just don't think it will happen....But it is great that he seems to want to get his life back together......but I feel that he would have to change a lot in his life to be disciplined enough to fit in the AFL scene....Just my opinion .....

As for 316's comment about PJ.........All I have heard is talk....Seen nothing as yet.......Not knocking him, just saying.....

Conversely, if he is serious about changing his life, the structures in place in an AFL club such as the MFC might be exactly what he needs to enable that.

I was feeling down about Melbourne yesterday so watched some of his highlights on YouTube, I had almost forgotten how talented he was.

I would love him back, but let's not forget what he did to be put in prison. I just hope he can now turn his life around.

Rather him on our list than Dan Nicholson.

Yeah ......maybe your right.......Hope he can....just don't think he will

Can he leave his family problems behind????

It would be great if he could.....I know Krackour (spelling) is having a go and good luck to them both....

Should play in Darwin later this year, then come back to Melbourne and play a season at Casey or other VFL side proving he can stay out of trouble and be happy in Melbourne and then he should nominate for the PSD/Rookie drafts at the end of next year. I think other clubs would most likely let us have him if we were part of the process of getting him back to footy.

The question is not if he's good enough but if he will work incredibly hard. Even when he was with us he didn't work hard enough on the field.

There are a lot of big "ifs" about getting him back at the Dees, and a lot of factors - both personal and professional - have to align, but to have him back doing what he does best would get my three kids who are members back to the footy. I would be stoked to see him in red and blue again. But with Davey retiring, is there a mentor available who can fully come alongside? Do we ask Goodes, O'Loughlin, Michael Long to take up a personal mentoring role?

Oh no, do I detect a sense of impossible anticipation for 2014? Gods of football, please don't do this to me!?!?

Agreed. But so many of the off-field people involved in Jurrah's time at the club are now gone, so suspect he might have to go to the back of the queue, no matter how popular he is amongst the players.

It's food for thought anyway.

I've been Liam's biggest critic, but If PJ deems Liam to be rehabilitated, then I see no reason why he couldn't play for us again.

Leave it in the hands of PJ, he is the only bloke getting things right around this rabble.

IF he manages to recover his senses & turn his back on his vices, we could possibly help one another maybe potentially via a rookie berth. but that would be a long shot for him to recover, from where he's gotten to.

I think these things should all hinge on the type of coach we find ourselves...

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
