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.

What the?

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.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
