This might sound strange, but I really feel for the guy. He's the first player from his civilization, which is borderline ancient, to play AFL and he's tried to combine two alien worlds. He was laud

So sad when people lose control of their lives. A few years ago LJ was one of football's feel good stories; how much has that changed. As for the rubbish being written in this post. Condemn the act b

It is a shame. But there is only one person to blame....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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].

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
