According to Jon Ralph, who was just on SEN with Bartlett (did anyone else hear them?) he was saying that doesnt matter what the courts find, he is still subject to his tribe law and what how they see the matter and may have a machete put into his head or a spear thrown through his leg. Ronnie Burns was also on and saying different tribes have different laws and there's basically no outsiders who can change that. Marngrook footy show may have some stuff on tonight.

In the NT that might be the only way to keep him alive!

Shows you the serious flaws in our legal system. Here is a man, who may well be proven innocent, sitting in jail for several months before the legal system has the time to hear a simple procedural process of hearing his plea of guilty or innocent and setting up a timetable for the next stages of the legal process. He could end up losing over a year of his life in jail and be found innocent because the legal system is so, so, slow.

isn't Christopher Walker being held in jail because he is a parolee and has violated his parole conditions? might be wrong on this
 

Even if he gets locked up for a longish stretch there is still a chance he could still play and do his time over here. And why not, his case has already received unusual consideration from the law and the club. There has been several cases of high profile footballers in the past playing whilst incarcerated.

Unfortunately, you normally get remanded if you are an 'unacceptable risk'.

Yep, just ask Rubin Carter!

So I guess he won't be playing in the round 17 match in Darwin

Once upon a time when it was the VFL there was a a more cosy relationship with the media. Footballing scandals were rarely if ever reported and footballers got away with a lot. So not appropriate to name names. There was a particular champion player who played for a scummy club and was doing time for armed robbery whist creating a legend for himself on the field. And the father of one of the current champions did the same in one of the country leagues whilst doing jail time in the bush before reviving his VFL/AFL career

yep i heard this aswell. amazing really, even if hes not guilty hes still due for this payback when he returns home. Ronnie burns stated even if Obama was to intervene it would have no impact and LJ would still get payback as such.

Will be interesting to see if LJ goes back. Has the footy club(by ignorance) got involved in something that will affect much more that one person. As an elder is it expected for him to go home and face the music?

I have absolutely no education or knowledge of this matter(not sure if many do) and simply want for LJ to do the best thing for his community to push through the issues that are currently pulling a remote community to pieces.

Yes, it all just amazing really. Their tribal laws go back thousands of years. What do we know?!

Apparently now on 4 new charges according to afl.com.au

Not exactly a lot of information in that update is there.... Really want to know what's happening with our LJ

Yeah I know - basically a headline with no story. Hopefully not much in it!

Dot points of the news:

-Apparently the extra 4 charges are for aggravated assault against 4 different people.

-Preliminary examination to be 23rd July.

-His lawyer is seeking alterations to his bail to allow Liam to play in the Darwin game (Round 17), will know about 4ish today.

He is not an elder. He is an initiated male.

He is commonly (and wrongfully) called an elder in many articles/blogs/posts

One would hardly be a tribal elder at such a young age

So if I get this right........No matter what happens in the white man's court,payback will occur.......If this is so, how come witnesses for the proecution (indiduous people) will give evidence in the white mans court.....as well as demanding payback????

Seems that they want it both ways....

Isn't an elder in this context just the same as a leader? I don't think it has to do with age, I could be wrong but that's always been my understanding.

Would be the first club in the VFL/AFL to have a listed/contracted player go to the clink?

If it were to happen, I wonder if we could apply for LJ to wear some Lindsay Lohan-type ankle bracelets for 1 day a week?

Probably not for assault with a weapon...

  • 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.
