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!!!!

  • 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.
