Lol! As opposed to typing opinions alone in a dark room?

I snuck out once to contribute to the purchase of his jumper.

I hope it's taking pride of place somewhere in the NT.

Jurray was talented, but very soft.

He was a hell of a player, very talented individual.

Should still be out there, but didn't have the mental toughness.

So I would partially agree with you, that he is mentally soft.

Could one of you highly trained psychologists please give your professional definition of "mentally soft"? Having obviously played at the highest level you would know what it takes to be mentally strong.

FMD....

I don't know what some you watch when you go to the footy. Like Watts, Jurrah would pick and choose his contests. I know he was lightly framed and was used to playing on dirt, so they rarely tackled or threw each other to the ground, so there are mitigating circumstances, nonetheless, he struggled to come to grips with the physicality of AFL footy.

I get you guys didn't see it, but it was plain for all to see. It doesn't mean it happened every time, but there were numerous instances when Jurrah avoided situations when he shouldn't have.

You don't agree, that's fine, I'll leave it there.

in fairness though, we only saw a brief part of his football development

given he was coming from a long way back (in terms of afl requirements) who knows how he would have developed and improved those "weaknesses"?

If it were up to you, Jurrah would still be on our list on his 100th chance.

I am no psychologist, but when it comes to predicting Liam Jurrah, I think my track record is second to none on this forum.

I don't need to go over it in this thread - as it is already in the Jurrah thread.

Absolutely, agree 100%.

Talent wise, he is up there with Jacko.

Strange way of showing you "get it", proddy - when what you immediately say is to invalidate what you just said you got.

"You'll leave it there"...?

If only Jurrah didn't bash women...

If only Henry Lawson wasn't such a drunk.

If only we could all be so highly evolved that our shyte never stank.

There's actually plenty here that agree with me. It's their choice to remain silent.

But I "get" that some football observers are barely that, which explains the outrage at such a suggestion. You cannot see what you cannot see.

I'll leave it there.

Good for you, 316, Jurrah's downfall has only enhanced your standing.

If it were up to me you wouldn't put words in others mouths and act like you know it all. But there you go....

I figured you wouldn't. Last word merchant. Speaks for those who don't speak, too.

Sees what others don't. Then explains they can't. Shlt it's lousy being me! Enjoy the footy, but what would I know? Like the players, like the grounds, I'm just rubbish. Should turn myself in to Chuck Norris and be done with it - if he'd just take the time to annihilate me. Sorry Prods mate.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Ahhhhh ProDee doesn't like Jurrah (to go along with Goodes and Lumumba)... There's a surprise.

Aussie's been a good paddock since he called it quits.

I saw them at the game yesterday too

Also saw Jared Rivers so good to see some past players still having a soft-spot for the dees

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
