Air Jurrah

Apropos of not much of all, I saw a bloke in the supermarket this morning wearing an "Air Jurrah" t-shirt.

Doubt that there'd be a lot still in existence.  Anyone else still have theirs or any poster on here wearing one in Portland today?

    I don't think Liam's talent was wasted. He could have been Bob Pratt, Peter Hudson, and Ablett senior rolled into one and still would have struggled to make it due to matters nothing to do with football thrust upon him. AFL football was not in his destiny, unfortunately.

    Watts, Trengove, Hogan of late.

    A large bunch of 1st rounders in the last 15 years, few successful

    In the 90s, we had Jackovich, Charles and to a certain extent Lyon and Schwartz of whom we didn't get the best of due to injury. 

    Martin Pike was a fairly handy player that we discarded for cultural reasons.

    He probably wasn't the most talented player to ever pull on the red and blue, but Clint Bartram was a good heart and soul player cut down by injury.  Troy Brodbridge is another in the sadest of circumstances.

    Lyndon Dunn is one that whilst playing plenty of games I don't think we used to the fullest of his capabilities.

    I also think Austin Wonemerri at his most brilliant was another player we never got the best out of for a sustained period.

     

    It's all a bit depressing really.

    I think the best 22 of MFC wasted talent would just about win premierships against the best 22 of other clubs.

    Any chance we can get this freak of a player out of retirement? We could do with another option up forward.

    He was the definition of natural talent.

    This is simply a product of having a poor culture during the time the club was simply not focussed on winning, while at the same time drafting alot of early draft pick talent without the right sort of culture and development program around them. You could also say we didn't pay enough attention to character when drafting players but this could be a bit unfair on who we drafted

    I don't have the Air Jurrah shirt, but I do have his signed St Pat's Day jersey, which I don't think he got the chance to wear.

    To be not focused on Winning...

    I always wonder how that can happen, we have been cheated so many Seasons as Supporters of this Club..

    I've got the Air Jurrah shirt I think, left it at my parents' place 5 years ago. I've also got Jack Fitzpatrick's (unworn) Irish themed jersey, which I still wear to games to this day.

    For those who don’t know or can’t remember I originally created the “Air Jurrah” image after his debut against Essendon.

    I decided to then get the t-shirts made and 100% of profits went to the Mt Theo Program in Yuendumu. From memory we raised about $550.

    A Demonland member got a tour of the club once and saw the Air Jurrah image in Brent Moloney’s locker:

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
