Jurrah nearing AFL debut
Casey coach Peter German says Melbourne's Liam Jurrah is getting close to playing his first AFL game
The 20-year-old, recruited from Yuendumu in Central Australia, has shown some impressive form in recent weeks.
He kicked four goals in Casey's win over Werribee Tigers on Saturday, on the back of three majors against Geelong the previous round.
Casey coach Peter German praised Jurrah's efforts.
"Liam was terrific in the first half," he told melbournefc.com.au.
"He ran and chased, showed composure to kick goals and was really important.
"Liam's really starting to come on in leaps and bounds and if he continues his development, he's a strong chance of playing senior AFL footy down the track."
Asked how far away he is from debuting for the Demons, German said: "It depends on where [Melbourne coach] Dean Bailey sees the side."
Jurrah's progression has been a positive one this season, after he was the first player selected in last December's NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft.
He also had a taste of life in Victoria last season, when he played four VFL matches for Collingwood.
