The latter i think usually just results in a fine.

Unlawfully causing serious harm though may be a problem unless he is able to prove it was in self defence.

Bail granted...yay.

 

Did anyone watch AFL 360 last night?

Not a huge fan of Mark Robinson but his thoughts on this situation are exceptional.

Just discussing like ourselves, how we can try and empathise with his situation but we will truly never fully understand it.

Really riveting segment at the start of the show with him and Gerard. Try and find it


denies being inviolved. Granted bail

Great news, Innocent until proven guilty. And is a MFC player until otherwise stated imo.

denies being inviolved. Granted bail

If this thing drags out over months, would the MFC allow him to play? or would court allow him to play?

Does anyone know how this type of situation works if he has to wait for a court hearing if there are any restrictions on him?

I would like it if the court gives him leniency providing he attends all training sessions and games.

Bail granted...yay.

Fantastic!!! How'd you find it out? Radio?

Yes, I saw that and he (Robbo) seemed genuinely emotional about the whole situation (as opposed to his, what I usually consider, displays of "faux passion")..

You are being very naive if you think that a white fella from the MFC had any place interfering (or could interfere) with his obligations to his family. Is Liam meant to have a minder with him 24/7 any time he returns to NT? That's ridiculous.

We are all upset at the prospect he may never play for the MFC again, but this story is much bigger than that. CS acted very professionally in his responses from what I read.

Naive? He is a mass investment for the club. He has had more articles written about 10 fold than any other player on the list, his marketing ability was great due to freakish abilities. The club should be doing anything they can to protect from this civil war, wether Jurrah takes his advice is another thing all together, at least the club could say we done all we could it was just unavoidable.

Some things are bigger than the club.

Reported on SEN. They had a guy from NT on the phone who is a news reporter up there and had just sat in on the court hearing.

I think the MFC should let him play. Innocent at this stage. Best thing for him is to get back to footy.

Get him on that plane...

Bail is great, but what are the conditions? I hope he is allowed to leave the Alice.

The club has an obligation to protect its investment - you're right. I can see where you're coming from and I don't think the club can entirely absolve itself of responsibility. As others have said though, this is ultimately bigger than the club and a finger pointing exercise isn't going to accomplish anything though, so why don't we just leave it at that?

Yes, get him back to Melbourne ASAP.

Good news regarding bail, but there is still a long way to go before this all gets sorted.

It's wonderful to see the club acknowledging his situation and supporting him as such.

I love my club.

Hope he is back in Melbourne soon and the club helps him through this process as much as they can.

Should all rock up to the airport kitted out in Melbourne gear and flags. Let him know he's back to his 2nd home

$20,000 bail granted.

Cameron Schwab's press conference highlights one of the emotional issues. In answer to Q8, Schwab says "...when he goes home" (meaning NT). The very next question, Schwab answers with "...to get him and bring him home".

I don't know Liam, but I suspect that "home" is, to use a cliche, where the heart is. And perhaps his heart is divided. If so, that's an enormous emotional burden for anyone to carry.

(Thanks to demonland7 for providing the transcript).


Such a complex issue.

Starting from colonisation right up until now.

Our dominant culture could not care less about minorities and it's sickening.

I think there are a LOT of people in our culture who DO care about our indiginous people

Caring and having solutions are however entirely different matters

Its very sad, tragic and frustrating. I'm still hopeful of a good outcome for Liam

The latter i think usually just results in a fine.

Unlawfully causing serious harm though may be a problem unless he is able to prove it was in self defence.

or he is totally innocent!

Hopefully he is allowed to, and more importantly wants to, come back to Melbourne.

We need to get him out of danger ASAP and away from a very toxic situation.

 

Will be a legal minefield to sort through this one i suspect. But far better for all if Liam is down here.

He has fulfilled any family commitment i would think.

denies being inviolved. Granted bail

Sweet!!!!

  • 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.
