Liam Jurrah Highlights

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

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

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
