Poor Liam has got himself in more trouble, this time drink driving.

Such a talented footballer hope he gets his act together.

I'm thinking Caroline Wilson.

As for LJ I couldn't give a crap. He had my full support and sympathy until the moment he walked out on the club.

Cameron Schwab?? Oops for a minute there I thought I was Caroline Wilson!

Such a talent. I hope it works out for him, after the joy he gave us supporters during some bleak times. Gotta say, though, drink driving is self imposed stupidity.


Very sad. Some people find themselves in places where alcohol is the only way out. I don't know where he is truly at, so this is conjecture but I fear Liam is at that place. Drink to forget, drink to socialise, whatever the dynamics of this incident it doesn't sound good.

He was supposed to play at Port Magpies this year but hasnt turned up to one training session.

Id be shocked if he ever played AFL again.
 

Waste of a talent, unfortunately you cannot help some people

Allegedly blew 0.27, five times the limit.


Its a sad story

Also could we change the name of the thread to get his name right although he doesn't deserve it

Surely there is a lot of humble pie to be eaten around the AFL community in regards to Matt Rendells comments earlier this year.

Will be lucky to even play a whole year of SANFL footy.

Sad to hear, I was dissapointed he left but it now looks like his life is going down the gurgler. Hope he can pull himself out of it but it will take a hell of a lot of character.

Staggering comment. Especially coming from you DD!

I know this is being said in hindsight but I was always concerned when he made the decision to go to Adelaide. I understand that it was his call and that he has a large family there who would be well nigh impossible to relocate to Melbourne and that there is a large part of the Yuendumu community living in exile there but I can't help but think he might have been better off being looked after by his mentor Rude Boy whilst remaining in training under an AFL regimen.

I hope he gets through this safely and can return to his original task when he first came here four years ago. It ain't going to be easy.

Who cares if you drive through Adelaide drunk?

What are you going to hit ,seriously?

A Church.

A tree.

A roo.

Get him and Dale back here and lets party .

Was one of my all time favourites jurrah but as much as I don't wanna be a full on racist the lack off indigenous players drafted this year showed why and I think his comments were actually spot on.. Dayle Garlett is a perfect example and I think clubs are just really not interested anymore in looking out for players like jurrah, zeph skinner etc that come out from the outback knowing in 3 years later they will just walk out on the club.

It really is a sad affair with Jurrah as this bloke could have been just as good as Michael O'Loughlin . Jurrah has natural freakiness about him that could pull people through the gates. I really do miss jurrah in the red and blue but he is one of many Aboriginal footballers that just aren't worth the risk anymore.

Poor attitude from a Senior Citizen.

Sad but so very very true.

We gave him an enormous opportunity to progress his own, and his peoples' cause and raise the profile of those from these incredibly remote communities........and he blew it, not once but twice and more.

He has set back the cause of his people many years: brand me a racist if you will, but clubs, with limited list space and "cultures" to develop, just cannot afford such risks.

PS: What a bloody incredible excitement machine he was in the R&B. What a waste.

Quick very Quick, never seen a man beat the Snake before.

Can't really believe anyone would be so stupid. Gives a little insight into the culture and peer pressures that people from these remote communities are involved in. But there comes a point in time where someone has to take responsibility for their own actions, especially when given the opportunities Liam has had. He is obviously an ordinary bloke and I honestly hope he gets the book thrown at him, not that I think that will help the situation.

Very sensitive topic but as I said, take some responsibility for your actions. Could have easily mowed down a pedestrian driving that [censored].

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
