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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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....

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
