One of the most exciting players I have ever seen. Half the time I'd sit their laughing at how good he was. It was tragic seeing him throw it all away by getting himself into so much trouble. An incredible waste of talent. You wonder what Aaron Davey in a full-time coaching / Indigenous mentor role could do for someone like Jurrah if he were to return to Victoria?

Club has been in constant contact with him during his travailles.

this would get me back! There is nothing i would wont more..... Liam has unfinished business here....

Thanks... This brightened my night...

 

The most naturally gifted player at the Dees since Flower. I know he never realised his potential but if he did it would be magical, for us and him!

PS where are you rudeboy? We miss you and Liam

Rudeboy has probably been scared off this site after a few contoversial comments during the ol' machete incident


I know he has a huge amount of work to do to get his game right and perhaps to prove that the club can trust him, but I think it could be worthwhile to give him a rookie spot and have him play next year at Casey. At least then we'd have a chance to set him goals regarding his fitness and defensive work and see if he has the discipline to make himself a modern AFL player. It would cost us a rookie pick and give us first dibs on a huge talent should he prove able to do it.

the ol' machete incident

not really something I would have ever imagined would be a recognised reference on this site

Do people even realise we still dont have a coach!? Pretty sure its a coach who gets last say in who he wants on our list.

Jurrah will never play for the MFC ever again.

yeah it won't happen... But this thread has given us a chance to relive something positive.... So let the dreaming continue....

It could be a good thing, although we do have a glut of forwards at the moment.

How many points did we score on the weekend?


Cant believe anyone would even mention Casey!! He is the most uniquely talented player ever to wear the red and blue.

Stick him inside F50 until he retires don't bench him after every goal! Let his offensive play shine in whatever way he chooses to - no one can teach what he has. And just encourage the defensive side of his game to develop.

A combination of Melbourne player mismanagement and community/private turmoil (in that order) combined to see us lose a rare talent. If we have chance to get him back, which I dont think we really do, then for god's sake - let him play 4 quarters of AFL football once a week.

He was without doubt one of the most popular players at Melbourne and my Grandson proudly wore his number, but even he, at 10 years of age, was disappointed at what went on with him; whilst I'm a bit more forgiving I don't know if he would be.

I'd love to see him in our team again but I just can't see it happening, for starters we would have to draft him and he would probably attract attention if he was fit enough and then we would have to have some sort of commitment from him which, after what happened last time, we would have difficulty believing.

Whilst on the subject of Jurrah, perhaps we could look at getting a priority pick from the AFL of any NT player, considering our commitment there.

One of the best to watch, thanks for all the great memories and the humility flash.

Comes across as a fantastic guy with his priorities in the right order, all the best for the future.

Um... :)

And who could blame him... there were some pretty vicious slurs thrown his way. I for one, would love to see Rudeboy posting on this site again.

The club has done a lot of things wrong over the years but to state that "Melbourne player mismanagement" was the primary reason for the problems Jurrah has encountered is just totally incorrect. Apparently Schwab is responsible for the troubles in Egypt.

Not entirely true... he needed Jack Watts' help on that one.

But then who's responsible for Syria?

Show up on time every time at the pre-season then we'll talk.

and go at least a month without committing a crime of some sort

Jurrah would bring out the crowd.... I know of at least 10 people that havent been going to footy, that would if Jurrah was there.... Surely the AFL would allow us to pre-list him, on to our rookie list.... They allow Collingwood to do this with Marty Clark.... Why not Jurrah for us? Its a small step for them.. But a big boost in crowd numbers for us....

    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.
