    1 to 2 weeks eh? I'm pretty sure they're bluffing

    He'll probably be 1-2 weeks for the next month.

    No i don't think so. He'll be 1-2 for the next 2-4.

    You are not Robinson Crusoe mate.

    I have to say (because I cannot help myself) that LJ is either the unluckiest player going round or he is the slowest healer going around.

    Every injury he gets seems to take forever to get over.

    This will bring the wrath down on me but I am beginning to tire of LJ and his problems.

    He is beginning to get too hard.

    Fair call Old Dee.

    However, it's annoying me because it seems like they're calling him injured when its more like he's not deemed fit enough to play in a game!

    Every training report says he's running laps at a good pace. Surely his ankle can't be 2 weeks away if that's the case?

    I'm not really into conspiracy theories or the like but I wonder if the idea all along, once Liam incurred what was at least a medium term ankle injury, was for him not to play until after his next hearing in NT was over. This would have kept him out of the limelight and away from publicity which, in the circumstances, was probably a good thing.

    I say this because, effectively the downgrading from 2 - 4 weeks to 1 to 3 weeks is virtually meaningless. It's hardly likely that Liam would be selected for Melbourne first up if declared fit to play the weekend after next - especially since the game that weekend is against Port Adelaide in Darwin. He won't be playing in the VFL that round either because both Casey teams have the bye. Which means that realistically we won't be seeing Liam Jurrah playing until Casey's game against Frankston in 2½ week's time and after his date with the court in the NT.

    Either way, I wouldn't be getting too excited about the new 1 - 3 week classification for Liam Jurrah's return because it's virtually meaningless. He has bigger fish to fry both in the legal sphere and in terms of achieving some sort of reconciliation in his wider family and within his community in Yuendumu and in that regard we should be hoping for an early and a positive outcome for all concerned.

    I reckon they are too. Now itll remain 1-2 for about 5 weeks most likely :wacko:

    Im not actually expecting to see him play this year at all..Ive actually considered the idea we wont see him play again as a Dee. I just dont get any positive vibes about this who debacle at all. I do wish him well but the splitting of his heart might be a bridge too far. The call might be too great.

    I agree with you WJ.

    When the extent of his injury was known after the Swans game my imediate reaction was we will not see him again this year.

    Due to his proven slow heal rate in the past and events in the NT

    I am fairly confident I wrote that on one of the treads at the time.

    I remember saying we may never see him again I still think that is a real chance.

    I have written him off for 2012 and perhaps forever I wonder if he has the body to make it in the AFL!

    Agree with you WJ, but I think the next hearing is a Committtal and if he is committed for a trial, then it will go on to next year most likely. His best bet is a finding at the committal of insufficient evidence to go forward.

    I would not like to be hanging my hat on that one Redleg.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
