He's not nearly intelligent enough to be Brett Kirk either. I've had the misfortune of encountering him on the Polls Board, he makes Sylvia look like a Rhodes Scholar

Re: Liam Jurrah - revised to 4 - 6 weeks

im not going to give you a lecture on the power of the subconcious, but stewart managed to have 2 ACL tears, and managed to stay off the field till his court case was over. im sure he didnt tear those ACL's on purpose....but he did somehow manage to get into the position to make those injuries possible.

the subconcious tries to protect us. if his fear is crowd reaction, the subconcious will find ways to get him away from the crowd..

Wow.....that's a hell of quote there. Could you please expand on that? I'd love to read more.

You're lying again, Tigernova.

You know full well I don't want that at all, which is why I've said the following on multiple occasions:

Again, I've said very clearly, a number of times now, that I see big differences between these two franchises, and clubs like Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast, Freo, Sydney and Brisbane.

And that I was not opposed in the slightest to those clubs coming into the AFL.

Adelaide was created by the SANFL, WCE were created by the WAFL, the Brisbane Bears did not "merge" with Fitzroy, but rather took over Fitzroy's AFL operations and changed their name, and Brisbane were created by the winning bidders for that new entry back in 1987, not by the AFL. Ditto for Fremantle when they came into existence.

There are only two entities within our league who have been created by the AFL themselves, and are wholly owned by the AFL. GC and GWS.

Obviously you'll never take these points into account. But that doesn't mean you get to keep claiming I somehow didn't support Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast, Freo, Sydney and Brisbane entering the comp.

Any honest person would have acknowledged that I've made my position abundantly clear. But you - Tigernova - are clearly not honest, and you haven't debated that subject honestly at any point. Stop verballing me, and stop lying about my opinions.

Also, I certainly don't appreciate you and your friend Everton involving yourselves in propagating false assertions that I'm somehow lying about where I live, or any other such smears. Clearly you thought I wouldn't find out about those VMs you and he posted yesterday. But I have.

I've asked both you and Everton to try to back up these claims you've invented about me time and time again, and each time you've completely failed to do so. Have the decency to cease this behaviour.

PS- Sorry for the off-topic post, but I didn't want to let his lie stand, and as I say, he and his friend have been carrying on these antics for days.

MFC: Jurrah set for VFL comeback

EXCITING forward Liam Jurrah will make his long awaited return to the game when he plays for Casey in the VFL this Sunday.

Jurrah, who has played 36 AFL matches, has featured in just one match this season - against the Sydney Swans in round eight - after a tough year both on and off the field.

Liam Jurrah 2012 Player Review

Games: 1
Goals: 0
Best and Fairest: 37th
Martin Flanagan article mentions: 6

Where to start? 2012 has been arguably the worst in the entire history of the MFC, and Liam Jurrah’s 2012 was certainly a part of that. After 2011 we were all excited to see where his career would go, especially as it seemed to be tracking upwards. We sit here now and his career seems all but over, and he definitely won’t pull on the red and blue ever again.

It all started in March when Jurrah returned home to remote Yuendumu, and allegedly took to his cousin with a machete due to a tribal war. Many of us had been amazed at Jurrah’s story before 2012, as we all devoured the Martin Flanagan articles about his home. Many media people were asking whether Jim Stynes of Jurrah had made the biggest life move to play professional football. It turned out that few of us had any idea about Jurrah’s story, and this shattering incident exposed a part of Australia that we don’t understand because we don’t even know it exists. How can a white, middle class person from the Melbourne suburbs relate to or understand Yuendumu? It has become clear during 2012 that it can’t be done through newspaper articles and television interviews.

As the details of this story emerged it became more confusing and shocking. An ill-advised interview with Eddie Maguire on Foxfooty quickly followed Jurrah’s return to Melbourne, and we also learnt that he would not be allowed back to the Northern Territory until his court appearance. It seemed ridiculous to be thinking about his immediate playing future in this situation, but this is the world we live in. Jurrah was still recovering from his season ending wrist injury well into the 2012 season. It wasn’t until May that he was deemed fit enough to play in the VFL for Casey Scorpions. He had two uninspiring games before making his sole appearance in the AFL.

His AFL match was against Sydney at the SCG, and it summed up Jurrah’s and Melbourne’s 2012 beautifully. The Dees got steamrolled, which was seemingly hilarious to Colin Sylvia, and Jurrah lasted three and a half quarters before suffering an ankle injury. He managed twelve disposals, three marks and zero goals. There were initial fears that his injury was a leg fracture, but this was downgraded to an ankle sprain with ligament damage, and a further 4-6 weeks on the sidelines and without AFL to occupy him.

He returned to the VFL in August, but would soon leave the state to be with his grandmother in Adelaide. Sadly this ended Liam Jurrah’s 2012 season, and possibly his professional AFL career.

After the season mercifully finished, Jurrah informed the Club that he would not be returning to Melbourne, but would remain in Adelaide with his grandmother. One thing that became clear throughout 2012 was Jurrah’s complex family life, and not being allowed back in the Northern Territory had clearly affected the young man. Optimistically Jurrah asked for a trade to a South Australian club, but predictably this never eventuated. Adelaide does not appear to have any interest in him, but Port Adelaide does have a cautious interest. Understandably they will probably wait until Jurrah’s trial is held before committing to the exciting forward. Supporters of Jurrah can look to Andrew Krakouer’s revival and remain upbeat about Jurrah’s chances of playing AFL again.

So that was Jurrah’s 2012, a year that involved criminal charges, injuries, no exciting football, a lot of questions and not enough answers. He appears destined to join Allen Jakovich as a never-forgotten cult figure who didn’t last long enough, all we can do is wish Liam the best in his upcoming trial, in his family life and in the rest of his AFL career.
