I wonder if Liam is up there.

If he is then I certainly hope he is safe, and also hope that regardless of where he is he can help resolve some of the tension.

    He was in Melbourne on Monday night for the All Australian night!!

    Possibly still here.

    A very sad story, this one. I have a friend who lives in the Yuendumu community and is a friend of Liam's, he has told me that Liam has played a really positive role as peacemaker.

    Liam is up there right now. He is safe. It is a very tragic situation which has erupted there, but Liam has shown incredible courage and strength of character in trying to calm everybody down.

    Thanks for the update RudeBoy. I am sure we are all relieved to hear that Liam is safe and well. Liam is a credit to his community and I for one am very proud of him, as im sure everybody else associated with the MFC is.

    The complex and tragic story of life in Liam Jurrah's home community of Yuendumu - A sorry tale of sorcery and payback in Yuendumu.

    The article relates to the tensions caused by the death of a young member of the community and mentions that the situation "can be traced to the death of his 18-year-old cousin, who had cancer and passed away two years ago at Yuendumu."

    From memory, Liam was originally brought to Melbourne two years ago to play with Collingwood's VFL team but returned home after playing only three games to be with a young friend who was dying of cancer. If it's the same person then Liam is surely very close to this conflict.

    One hopes the situation can be resolved appropriately without adding further sadness and grief to the people of Yuendumu.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
