Liam has had an interrupted pre-season with his recurring wrist injury and his much publicised troubles in Alice Springs. He is now back in full training and hoping to start playing initially for Casey very soon. He is very keen to get back in the side and help the boys get a win on the board.

Thanks RB for the update. I know it's very difficult to say but in terms of the troubles in Alice Spring do you have any confidence that the resolution will be a positive one?

Not meaning to sound racist in anyway but from my experiences in similar circumstances they will struggle to get quality witness depositions from those in attendance, whether that be through fear of retribution, intoxication, language barriers in being able to put into statement what they witnessed. Also need to consider if Liam was not in the AFL his defence would be left to an ALS lawyer, whilst I would consider the club has arranged a quality QC from Melbourne to act on his behalf.

So whilst having no intimate knowledge of the incident I am optimistic that it may pan out well for Liam, but he is only human and I am sure it will be playing on his mind till it is finally put to bed one way or another
