"Picture This" Photo Comp - Open Again in 2010

The Western Demons once again invite you to participate in a fun competition aimed at finding the most interesting or original photo of a Dees supporter while travelling, in Australia or around the world, on holidays or business, and taken at some notable or exotic location that may or may not be related to MFC or AFL footy for that matter.

The idea is, next time you are about to travel, remember to pack some of your Melbourne clothing, or a Demons flag perhaps, and when you come across an interesting location or situation, get someone to take a photo of you proudly displaying your red-and-blue colours, then send the selected photos to the Western Demons email address so as they can be posted on our website for all to see how committed you are to supporting our great team.  At the end of the year, the WD Committee will select the most interesting or original photos to receive a small award.

Detailed competition instructions and rules for entry are provided here.....

Happy travels!

Liam Jurrah - Round 15 Rising Star

Liam Jurrah from the Melbourne Football Club is the NAB AFL Rising Star nominee for Round 15.

Liam was instrumental in Melbourne’s 11-point win over Port Adelaide at the MCG on Sunday, booting four goals.  

The 20-year old from Yuendumu, 300 kilometers North-West of Alice Springs has been an exciting addition to the Melbourne forward line since making his AFL debut against Essendon at Docklands in Round 12.

His elevation to the senior team came after back-to-back four-goal hauls with the Casey Scorpions in the VFL.

He has played all four matches since his debut, kicking at least one goal in each game and a total of eight for the year. 

From the Warlpiri tribal lands, Liam was recruited by Melbourne with the first selection in the 2009 NAB AFL Preseason Draft.

Liam emerged as an AFL prospect while playing with the Yuendumu Magpies. In 2008 he was brought to Melbourne where he played four games with Collingwood’s VFL team.

Liam is Melbourne’s second consecutive NAB AFL Rising Star nominee following Jack Grimes in Round 14.
