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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
