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 16th December 2024

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
