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 .

A bogan with bad hair?

But the scary thing is, he still would have been with us if he didn't do a runner.

Not so sure on this, I think he may have given Neeld a let out... but it's one we will never really know.

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.

Just want to state my opinion here. Matt Rendell was not making racist comments, was taken out of context and is not a racist imho.

I agree Jurrah was an exciting player and I get the Skinner comparison (less so the Garlett one).

Can you say there is an established trend here? i.e. in your opinon, are urban indigenous players more likely to succeed in the rigours of the system that say those from remote communities?

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. Now he can go to Hell and I hope he hates every moment of it.

Nice to see people putting sport ahead of compassion.

Hard to have compassion for drink drivers mate, glad he did not kill some innocent while being a selfish idiot.

I agree on that count, but when people start saying they don't care because he walked out on the club, that irks me. LJ obviously has some major issues and I would say the pressure is becoming too much for him...a very sad state of affairs.

so is anyone going to say that he comes from a different culture where drink-driving is looked at differently and therefore he should be given a break for this?

all the other stuff he did was quickly excused for the colour of his skin, why not this?

As far as I can recall, you seem to be the only one who has broached the subject of skin colour.

I think everyone can see what a sad tragedy this is becoming

It certainly does you no credit to grandstand over it

I reckon you'd have to be drunk to be caught driving in Adelaide.

He was lucky he didnt collide with another car and kill a family or an innocent driver.

Has his partner had there child yet?

But its a shame where his life is at. He was the reason I loved going to the footy because I always looked foward to soem Jurrah excitement.

I think Rendell was the messenger who got shot for political gain. It's a pity because the issue he broached deserved a lot more thought , maybe in the end it was just all too hard for misfud. It was just easier to treat it as a political football and him a casualty which is not an unusual response unfortunately.

Yeah well I've got better things to do than worry about the world's problems. Sport interests me. Caring about people I've never spoken to not so much. I also have a list of things I don't have much compassion for:

1) Drink drivers

2) People that use weapons to commit violence

3) People that [censored] on my club after all it has done for them

Number 3 probably should be at the top of the list though.

actually I am the only one who has judged him as a person, an individual whom like everyone else is responsible for his own actions, instead of using his background as a get out of jail free card like so many 'enlightened' folks around here have

Oh he has a get out of jail free card? Must be why so few from his background aren't in prison then.... Dumb post.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
