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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.

A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
