The Mighty Demons 856 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited June 2, 2018 by The Mighty Demons 11 1 Quote

monoccular 17,760 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 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. Quote
praha 11,267 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 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. Quote
PNGeeDee 0 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited June 2, 2018 by PNGeeDee Appreciation msg insert. Quote
Chook 15,069 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Can't watch this. It makes me too sad. Liam Jurrah was one of the supreme talents. 4 Quote

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. Quote
Fork 'em 7,052 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Yep. Can never have enough alcohol fuelled machete wielding women beaters at the club. Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 If ... Jurrah like Jakovich was a STAR. But only for a short time. He was so EXCITING Quote

Garbo 1,567 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 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. Quote

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. Edited June 2, 2018 by Fork 'em Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 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). 1 Quote
Fork 'em 7,052 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Probably. Neeld trying to turn him into something he wasn't certainly didn't help. Quote
