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.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
