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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
