G'day all!

I posted a video featuring Jeff Farmer's nine goal second half against the Pies a few days ago and thought I'd follow it up with another video I've been working on for some time. To celebrate the Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round, I've put together a highlight reel featuring one of Melbourne's most exciting players from the last decade, The Warlpiri Wizard himself: Liam Jurrah! 

On a side note, congratulations to Nathan Jones on his 250th today!

Go Dees!

What could have been...

yeah agreed. Not quite in the schwartz bracket but not too far away. 

Thanks, TMD, for compiling and sharing that.

What an absolutely freakish footy talent .... he gave us so much joy ... then so much heartbreak.

One can only speculate how he could have done now, with a functional forward system, and mids and half backs who can actually deliver on a fairly regular basis. 

He was never going to make it. Let's be honest.

I had higher hopes for Wonna tbh. A far more grounded kid that didn't have the weight of an entire community on his shoulders. He was a ripper of a kid as well.

Liam Jurrah was so exciting to watch. His 1st ever goal and the screamer (among many) he took for mark of the year I will never forget. 

Thanks for that video.

Can't watch this. It makes me too sad. Liam Jurrah was one of the supreme talents.

Have to agree, but I watched it and think how natural his football skills were. However a pity he/we could not acommadate him in the system , both for his and MFC's  sake.

Yep.
Can never have enough alcohol fuelled machete wielding women beaters at the club.

If ... Jurrah like Jakovich was a STAR. But only for a short time. 

He was so EXCITING

Do you see anyone here admiring his machete skills? No. We admire his football and lament everything else that came with it.

thanks for the memories, liam

Poor old Basil.
Wonder how he's going.
Was pretty miserable last time I saw.

All of which came after he walked.  If we could have kept him here, helped him keep his [censored] together, he could have been anything. 

I had forgotten how much of a natural talent he had, as good as we are now we don’t have anyone who can do what he did, could have been on the same level as Eddie Betts if he had just applied him self and had been in right environment.

He 1st went off the rails while up there supposedly getting rehab from his grandmother (special rubbing lotion) for his injured wrist.
Made me think at the time his wrist couldn't be too bad if he was swinging a machete with it.
Or grandmas potion worked wonders.

If Jurrah came to Melbourne as it stands now, he would have had a much more successful career. Wrong player for the wrong club (at the time). 

Probably.
Neeld trying to turn him into something he wasn't certainly didn't help.

Indeed there were very few things Neeld did help... with perhaps the exception of the Bombers’ demise
