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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
