Even with Jurrah kicking 5 that game was hard to sit through.

I'd rather us re-create the game where we smashed Brown and Fevola and piled on the goals on a Saturday night!

Can we repeat this tomorrow?

There aren't many left from the team that played in Round 3, 2011.

I count only four players from this team that are playing tomorrow. Jones, Garland, Dunn and Watts.

 

There was also Round 5, 2010 where Brisbane was 4-0, having scored 100+ points in each of their four wins, with Fevola and Brown as an unstoppable forward duo, and we knocked them off on a Saturday night at the G.

Players from that side playing tomorrow - Dunn, Garland, Jones (and Stefan Martin).

That was a terrible match from Melbourne and I remember walking away with big doubts about the Bailey team. We were a monty to make the finals that year according to the pundits, but there were big cracks even in the games we won. What that match did show was that we HAD a genuine match winner in Jurrah. He was the difference that day- have had anyone like him since... hopefully that void will be filled by the Hulk.

The 2010 and 2008 wins against Brisbane were magic!

Remember it well as I live in Brisbane so have plenty of Brisbane supporting mates. Frawley absolutely monstered Brown (and anyone he played on that year). We were very very impressive that night.

Jurrah could turn a game around singlehandedly. He got us back into that match with his freakish abilities, and I've got no doubt that we would've been thrashed if it weren't for him.

We could really use him in our 2015 side.

Not to mention the big win up there at the GABBA in 2002 when Neitz jagged 7 goals and monstered both Leppitsch and Mal Michael. Daniel Ward even snagged 4 goals that day including a ripper on the run in the third term.

Ah, those were the days!

 

Gee that video is quintessential Melbourne.

- Jamar fluffing a mark in defense and giving up a goal.

- Frawley turning back with his hands in the air complaining to his teammates after a Brisbane goal

- And my favourite: a highlight package of an unstoppable forward who only 12 months last would retire from the game.

Decimal currency is newer than our last flag. Thats time machine.

Give us back Jurrah, Davey and Aussie and I would be quite confident. Sadly I am not.

Gee what a talent Jurrah was, so sad his career was so short lived. He really was magic at times.

A wonderful reminder of the immense talent that was Liam Jurrah. I still rate him as in the top 4 players I've seen play at MFC, alongside Robbie, Lyon and Jako. Liam made the miraculous look effortless.

I thought this was going to be a thread about where we'd travel back in time to to address some of our current woes. The day of Liam's wrist injury would certainly be one option.

Add in Farmer and pre-knees Schwarz.

Farmer & Scwartz were Real talents, not flashes in the pan. they both were prepared to do the hard things, as well as the freakish, they would bust there gut for the side.

He was our skinny Buddy Franklin. Was a target up forward, could get on his bike and turn anyone inside out and could nonchalantly bomb them from outside 50. Made 'talls' and 'smalls' look inferior. Damn, Damn, Damn

Jurrah makes it look easy. Geez what a waste. but thanks.

So much sadness watching that video

Bailey, Aussie, Jurrah, and then on a different level of sadness Gysberts, Sylvia and "Mitchel" Clark injured. Oh my!


I find it so difficult to watch Jurrah highlights these days. What a player he was.

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
