Jurrah quits Melbourne

[Jordie_tackles]

Yeah Season is over and we still get bent over hard.....

Took Jurrah over Rockliff who i think was training with us until Jurrah got special permission to nominate for the draft.

I can understand his motives to want to leave, but who is giving him advice? just walking out? surely you look for a trade ect? we have stood by him for ages, if nothing else will get paid well to play SANFL i would imagine and live with his family.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

What is a top SANFL wage these days?

 

[ltdamn]

Ebert.

Only because we didn't draft him.

Seriously though, feel pretty bad for Melbourne. Scully and Jurrah walking out after they developed them. You would hope once the season finished they'd be able to look forward to next year but the bad news keeps coming.

 

[radiojake]

surely you look for a trade ect?

I'd imagine that Port or Adelaide would have to make a trade if they wanted him....

would they??

 

[Ghost of Grinter]

Shame to see him go, gun player, just not there mentally.

 

[Andrew Mc]

You'd expect a bit of a cut on what he's getting now.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

not if he just went in the draft. It's not like anyone else is going to pick him up when he's said he needs to be in SA

 

[Demonheart]

Well, I'm not surprised. His issues and those that his divided family are facing are larger than any football club, I can understand him wanting to be close to his family.

However, to end it like this after everything that the club has done for him is....disappointing. He must be under enormous pressure right now, but as someone else already stated it could mean nothing if he's found guilty.

Will either Adelaide or Port risk him considering what's coming up in March?

 

[Hahndozer]

Couldn't imagine either Adelaide club would want to take the risk on.

Probably relief behind closed doors at Melbourne as well. Difficult situation they'll be happy to see the back of.

 

[red+black]

He's a hack.

 

[Essendon_Fan]

Jurrah should play at GWS, they will need a tall after Brogan goes, Giles is an 'older' ruckman, O'Hailpin and Cornes will not be too far from retirement. GWS will suddenly find themselves a few big men short, and they are currently a pretty good team when it comes to getting highly drafted Melbourne players.

 

[Stylus]

Can't say I'm too surprised.

Good luck to him.

 

[Rioli2Gunstall]

Already looking forward to trade week radio, actual playing of the game is overated.

 

[demon_dayz_dawning]

I cant remember is he is still under contract

anyone know?

 

[dutchy12]

What a crap year

 

[Coledinho]

Only out of their own self-interest.

Self interest would of been to sack him and tell him to never come back

 

[red+black]

Well, I'm not surprised. His issues and those that his divided family are facing are larger than any football club, I can understand him wanting to be close to his family.

Doesn't that partly validate Rendell's comments? Not that an Aboriginal player should have one white parent but that clubs should exercise due diligence in researching the family situation of any player they may draft, be they black or white.

 

[Carusiii]

I cant remember is he is still under contract

anyone know?

nah he isn't got out of contract end of this season

 

[underthestars]

mfc should thank their lucky stars - get to wash their hands of the whole mess and come out of it looking like the good guys. whoever advised jurrah has just destroyed his career. no way would anyone want him. i understand jurrah's motives but shows no respect to mfc and a real naivity to think he can pick and choose an afl club.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

As a St. Kilda supporter I'm sure you'd know a little about "taking hits".

Quoted for irony. Talking about yourself there.

Anyway. Jurrah was crap.

No, he wasn't. But you wouldn't know, because I'm quite sure you didn't particularly see him in action over the previous three years.

And the cluster **** of a season for the MFC continues

Yep, all that's left is for a big weight to drop out of the sky and fall on us....

 

[ASDF1234]

Agreed. Though I do feel bad for Melbourne supporters, things just seem to get worse before it gets better over there.

I do wonder whether another club would back him and risk their image as much as Melbourne did.

Oh well.

 

[demon_dayz_dawning]

This.

He has done us a huge favor.

Now lets hope we cut all ties with him and stop providing him any support at all.

The guy is nothing but a time waster.

 

[hayes]

He wants to play in Adelaide so he can be closer to the tribal war? That's exactly what AFL clubs want to hear.

 

[Macca19]

I'd take him with a PS draft pick but that would be it. You'd be nuts to trade for him.
