Liam's shoulder is OK

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...

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
