Joy for Jurrah
THE Liam Jurrah juggernaut keeps rolling on. Tonight at a function called "The Long Journey" in the MCG Long Room a few members of his Warlpiri community will be presented with the guernsey the young Melbourne star wore in his debut game against Essendon last month. How it all came about is a story in itself. When the club organised to auction the jumper a bunch of fans on the club's main forums, Demonland and Demonology, reckoned his community should have it so asked supporters to rally to the cause and donate $20 each. The idea was for the community to donate $1500 and supporters the rest, but such was the fans' reaction they eventually paid for the whole thing, raising $4906 in just four days.
