Looking forward to seeing L.J out there again next year .To all the knockers get a clue . Liam playing along side another couple of big quality forwards would be scary . This year was bloody hard work for him and he managed 40 goals . Well done .

Totally agree. Clearly many on here are far more experienced on a keyboard than on a footy field. Our delivery skills would be a nightmare for any forward. 40 g under these circumstances is a good effort. Not many can make something out of nothing like liam can. As someone else mentioned, I wish we had a neitz type playing alongside him...

Thanks for the update Rudeboy, much appreciated as always.

Unfortunate news to hear. Especially as I'm going to the game at AAMI Park this week. Was looking forward to seeing LJ snagging a few goals!

The view of the game will be better at Adelaide Oval ML.

Thanks RudeBoy for all the updates on Liam. Glad to hear it isn't too bad an injury. Here's hoping he heals quickly, has a cracking preseason and comes out breathing fire next year!

A "cracking" pre-season? Given the nature of his wrist injury, sure hope you're wrong! LOL

Liam's played 35 games. He comes from a style of football where raw talent and skill is paramount and defensive pressure and physical toughness are not high priorities.

Give him another 50 games, build his body with some more pre-seasons and gym work, and keep him on the huge learning curve about the forward defensive pressure and game structures that he needs to be a mature AFL forward, and we'll see whether he can become a 10-year player that kicks 70-80 goals. Simply casting aspersions about him being as 'soft as butter' or being 'lazy' are missing the point.

Well said maurie.

Thanks RudeBoy for your contribution.

To the moderators, thank you for deleting 'the posts' I have no issue with that whatsoever, I was offended and let it overtake my better judgement

Rudeboy, thanks for the reply, it's good to see you took it as a genuine question and I apprieciate the time you take to keep us informed..

Good to hear it's only a minor injury that shouldn't affect Liam having a huge preseason, as that's what he'll need to replicate his 2010 form.

40 goals from 18 games amd he has had a pretty average sort of year. His potential is mindboggling.

Totally. He's a super talent.

Give it a rest mate he's not the only one who is soft at our club.

Oh okay then, since you put it that way that makes it totally fine

Big talent and after 35 games, made me realise how raw he still is. I think some supporters have some unreasonable expectations on "The Cougar". He is not a KPF and we will see more from him once he has some bigger KPF taking the number 1 & 2 defenders. A lot of defences would struggle to match up on LJ as the 3rd forward
