Liam Jurrah tipped to shine against the Gold Coast Suns
Liam Jurrah tipped to shine against the Gold Coast Suns
By Greg Davis
MELBOURNE players do not always know what freakish Liam Jurrah will do next. So heaven help the Gold Coast Suns at the Gabba on Sunday. Jurrah, 22, tore Brisbane apart at the MCG last Sunday with a mercurial five-goal haul that is increasingly becoming par for the course for the Demons' cult figure. Jurrah, who won Mark of the Year last season in spectacular style after recovering from a shoulder reconstruction, is the man the Suns must stop if they are any hope of securing their first premiership points. After a failed stint with Collingwood, Jurrah was drafted by the Demons in 2009.

Hunt may have to crowd Demon matchwinner

GOLD Coast's project player Karmichael Hunt may be one of several defenders saddled with minding Melbourne's exciting forward Liam Jurrah at the Gabba on Sunday, according to the Suns' development coach Anthony Lovell. Lovell said Hunt and fellow inexperienced defenders Josh Toy and Seb Tape were all likely to be on a rotation system to eyeball the spring-heeled Demon in the absence of suspended centre-half back Campbell Brown. He said if Jurrah's firing then Melbourne is at its most dangerous and the Suns cannot afford the dangerous forward any chance to weave his magic. "We have talked about him a little bit at match committee," Lovell told AAP.
