In absence of either area expertise or the facts I am not sure most supporters would have a clue.

Surely there has been enough experience with player injuries in past year to know that if its a XXXX injury its not always a set number of weeks.

I think the biggest issue for Jurrah besides his shoulder is if he does not have AFL football what does a guy from the remotest part of Australia have to connect him to big city life? It was football that got him here and I hope we can hold him.

Thats not like you RR, in one breath you're saying "In absence of either area expertise or the facts.." then in the next you're talking about him leaving without and expertise or facts. From what Rubeboy has said in the past he is a very driven man and wants to carve out a special career at Melb and he is here on Walpiri business to do just that.

this has Sean charles written all over it

How so? Liam has Davey, Wonna, Benny and the Jet as a support network at the club where as Sean basically had nothng of the sort and had some very unlucky injuries. He kept breaking his wrist or thumb then shattered his leg horribly while playing for Carlton.

    Isn't it obvious Cards13??

    They're both talented aboriginal footballers.

    They're therefore identical in every way and would certainly have the same personalities and deal with every sort of adversity in exactly the same fashion.

    Charles got his wrist infected I believe because he went against doctors orders not to go swimming in the Murray River or similar. That was the beginning of the end.

    I mean really. Comparing Liam Jurrah to Sean Charles is an appallingly ignorant generalisation.

    Liam is from one of the remotest parts in the country. Sean is from 70km out of Melbourne.

    Nothing to add to the earlier reports. Liam is recovering well and expected back for the second half of the season. I am very [censored] off that I won't be able to see him take on the Pies this week, but will most likely have to wait to see that next year.

    Sorry you all had to read so much into my comment. I just recall a really talented aboriginal footballer coming on to the scene and creating a lot of excitement before breaking down with injury early in his career and never being able to deliver on his talent. I was just speculating that, given our seemingly endless injury curse, that maybe the same fate awaits LJ.

    Please spare me all the micro-analysis and innuendo.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
