MELBOURNE'S benching of Liam Jurrah in Round 22, 2009, could form part of the evidence against it in the AFL tanking inquiry.
Jurrah's mentor and biographer, Bruce Hearn Mackinnon, said yesterday he could not fathom Melbourne's treatment of the exciting forward.
Hearn Mackinnon referred to the benching in his autobiography of Jurrah, and yesterday said he was mystified by the tactics and a post-match response from a Melbourne official.
Jurrah kicked four goals, but was dragged twice when on the verge of taking the game away from St Kilda.
St Kilda won by 47 points, handing the Demons the priority draft pick.
Hearn Mackinnon said Jurrah had not taken issue with his treatment, but it did not make sense.
In The Liam Jurrah Story, Hearn Mackinnon wrote: "(Jurrah) kicked four goals himself and provided several goal assists. However despite Liam's brilliant form he was continually dragged to the bench by his coach, prompting television commentators to suggest some tanking was going on."
