THE MELBOURNE Football Club has been advised that Liam Jurrah, who is currently on personal leave to deal with family and community issues in Central Australia, is being held by police following an incident overnight. No charges have been laid.

We are not aware of any further information and therefore not in a position to make comment at this time.

Liam Jurrah Statement

 

What the.....
 

Uh oh.

We can't jump into any conclusions, but really, this is very distressing for everyone concered, especially Liam.


Let's try not to jump to too many conclusions. It may well be mountain/molehill stuff.

Yep.

There has been trouble up there for a while. I hope Liam is OK & can manage to keep at arms length from the heat of the feud.

Good Luck Liam...
 

fingers crossed he's allright


Quite frankly if he is in custody then thats far more worisome than if hes simply 'helping' with inquiries

bugger

not good.

The whole joint is a time bomg on short fuses. Lets hope alls well that ends however...

Cant be easy for the poor sod, on a hiding to nothing.

He is in custody. Just like Sylvia would have been for drink driving. Until we hear any more i would jump to any conclusions

are you really that naive

this is not a good sign....obviously, and it further makes my belief he will not return a little stronger

If your held by police liam has done something wrong or he would just be helping with questions we have done the right thing to let him go but if liam has done something bad then this will really hurt liam because you cant be given time to help family then go break the law. Mark neeld has allready shown colin what is the elite way to deal with things like this and i think liam may well be in the bad books for a while sen just said there is a knife involved and liam is in jail not good


Maybe letting him go up there was not such a good idea. Club should get him back immediately at protect our investment.

This is really bad guys not lookin good and this may well have been a big mistake to let him go back were things are out of control


and jftr...im not for a momnet suggestng hes actually done anything wrong. But in atmospheres and siutation as this seems to be its very easy to get caught up in something.

I was just reading the thread the other day how one person said Jurrah shouldn't be paid for his time of absence and he was blasted for it..I'm a huge Jurrah fan but this is just ridiculous. If the outcome is a negative one for Liam I would not be surprised if he has played the last game for the MFC...

I think it's best to hold off until we know something more than 'being held in custody'. Could literally be for anything. And realistically, if he's got a wrist injury......

 

There's a couple of important things to remember here...

NT Police quite often hold Aboriginals for a time while they sort out the intricacies of the situation. Dealings involving tribal disputes and law are massively complicated which is generally not helped by the lack of trust between tribes and police.

Liam, being a fully initiated warrior and elder is bound by tribal law to get involved or at least try and resolve any family disputes so while instinct says he was not an instigator, he may be classed as an offender by involvement.

It will be interesting to see how the NT court system deals with this as it will give us an insight into how they deal with Australian Law v Tribal Law.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
