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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
