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!

    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.

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

    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

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
