ABC have great websites and youll be able to watch and download from the 730 report site tomorrow

Fantastic! what a thrill to see this young man in action on and off the field again.

Some very interesting comments came out of the item

1. His Elders and family support him wholeheartedly being down here - so much so that they would send him back down here if he wanted to head home

2. DB quoted as saying that it is hard to tell how long he will be around but he gets the distinct impression that LJ is a determined young man who will be around for a while to come.

3. He went home last year to nurse his best friend through his last days of a fight with cancer.

4. The Coll@£$od coterie that brought him down originally seem like a terrific bunch (Does not compute ) and honored him recently at one of their Dos.

5. He is obviously quite the character

Had me smiling from ear to ear

Brilliant, A great insight to what this guy has done to get here and where he is from. A really good question was posed to Dean Bailey about how long he will play AFL, He paused and said he didn't know. I really really hope hope he will be a 10 year player, I love to watch this bloke !!

Great to see rudeboy get an appearance in the story as well.

[Deeoldfart 7,864]

Brilliant story. Now have even more admiration for Liam, after seeing some action on the Yuendumu footy ground.

[Satan 2,828]

top story and yes very decent of the pie coterie to honour him and not begrudge where he ended up

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Thanks for the link, that was a great story.

He already is a star of the competition.

Thanks ever so much. I am really grateful to those of you out there who are able to share the technology to help the rest of us out.

Correct weight.

And he plays for Melbourne.

Gods be praised.

Thanks to the 7.30 report I was able to see that goal over his head! I missed the first 20 mins of the game. What an amazing effort.

Came over as a really pleasant, humble guy and considering English is not his first language, he spoke quite well.

Can't wait to see it again tomorrow. Thanks Maurie!

It hasn't been uploaded by the ABC yet. I would suggest trying later today or tonight. The Video Link will be on the Transcript page just above the Pic of the Warlpiri Wizard.

[BAMF 3,920]

[Yencks 8]

He quite impressive as a bloke...very humble...but steely determined. Firstly I wish him al the success in fotball and in life outside of it. He is a proud and rightfully so ambassador of his people.

I think as a club we are incredibly lucky in having him, not just for the obvious football proess he has but to be honest the limelight it brings to the club. The attention he has garnered has focused a lot of media interest on the Melbourne footy club and he is instrumental in showing us in a very favourable light.

Thankyou:)

Totally agree. LJ is a great ambassador for his people.

This was one of those stories that puts a lump in your throat. Proud to be a Demon.

I loved the bit where the elders would put him on a plane and send him back to Melbourne if he tried to go back. It would seem, as a Warrior Elder, LJ has some unfinished business to do down here. And aren't we glad he has!!!!!!

[H_T 2,941]

Proud to be a Demon. :D

Thanks guys for the link.

[Jaded No More 60,151]

Fantastic video.

I hope Bailey is right and he'll play for as long as he is physically able to. Too often we see these amazing talents emerge and disappear quickly.

Love the skinny lattes too. Well done Liam, you're a real Melbournian now! :D
