The tragic downfall of Liam Jurrah


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Wish the bloke well...wish most peope well.

But I'm now sick to death reading or even needing to hear abour him, especially here on DL.

Can't we just move on to the present ... Melbourne's present and leave LJ to history.

Yes i have to say i am over Liam Jurrah as i am over any player who chooses to leave my club before their potential is even closely met.

The MFC did everything it could for LJ, but he still chose to walk.

The moment i saw him on McGuires program i knew it was a matter of time.

That will be the most interesting chapter in Bruce's book...

I wish Liam all the best but i really do not want to read about it on demonland. It leaves a bad taste.

I worry for Liam's future. Of course no one really knows but if i were to hazard a guess he seems caught somewhere between two distinct worlds. It would be terrific if, down the track, he acknowledged MFC but I would have thought that its a distant concern. Potential jail time would be at the top of his list would it not?

I just wish they would lock this clown up.

I am absolutley ropable that he is still out in society, he constantly puts peoples lives at risk.

He needs to be locked away.

- Tries to kill relative with a machete.

- Drink drives with a huge consumption of alcohol running through him putting society at risk.

Why people show Jurrah compassion is beyond me.

Any caring human being would show compassion to Jurrah given his situation, sooner or later however Liam must take responsibilty for his own actions.

Anyone who needs support rarely 'deserve' it.

How do you figure, alot of people that need support deserve it, the guys on BAIL for assaulting another human with an axe to the face, then he has the cheek to be caught driving with a BAC of .266, theres plenty of people on this planet that deserve a helping hand

any thank you should've been done publicly. The club was more than owed the positive spin of a public pat on the back for the way it treated him.

So Liam needs less coddling and some tough love but the club needs a pat on the back and a thank-you hug from a project player who didn't work out ..

LOL

As for the "positive spin" - I really don't know what you have in mind. A staged photo shaking hands with Schwab? Gee, stop the presses and hold the front page.

I think that's over the top, however I too never warmed to Rudeboy, even though plenty here fawned to his every utterance. He seemed a little simple to me.

A bit like guys who spend their time writing training reports

Liam has my support too, as have all former Demons bar Voldemort and that oaf who likes doing wheelies and now plays for Carlton.

One of my favourite recents who left us is Aussie - a good bloke who also had to face tragedy and ultimately found life here too hard.

I wish him and Liam well and, though their time at the club wasn't the most successful, I still remember and thank them for the excitement they added to the place in difficult times.

And I don't ask for any thanks from either of them in return.

When you take a person's actions and hold them up to the standards that you apply to yourself, it shows a complete lack of empathy. Liam's life experiences are very different to mine and I can only attempt to imagine what choices I'd make in his circumstances. I love footy, love the Dees but in the end, it's just a game.

Blistering pretty much nails it here;

Of course he may have wanted to avoid more media attention...

And how did that go this time Stuie?

I would have thought that MFC would have made some small mention of a thanks if one was made. Good for both Liam and the club (not to mention us supporters).

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that, from reports I've just received, Aussie and his team, the Tiwi Bombers are traveling nicely ATM. They won tonight and Aussie kicked a goal and also did some good work in the midfield.

In another game Brendan Fevola returned to the NT but failed to impress kicking only two goals for Waratahs who lost a vital game. One of their other gun forwards, Waylen Manson, pulled out before the game.

Now on Twitter that SA Police say he wasn't arrested.

Wait and see I guess. Still ... not looking good for him.

Sad, if not tragic.

People are so concerned with his wellbeing.

1.He was involved in a machette attack

2. He walked out on us without any thank you... nothing.

3.He drove 5 times the legal limit putting more lives at risk.

His story is sad and he could have been a superstar, but for godsake people wake up and smell the roses!

Yeah, let's just live in a world where everyone's discourteous, ungrateful and couldn't give a fig. Be great.

I'm struggling to recall where and when the club made a public statement of thanks to Cook for the effort he put in before axing him without playing a game

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
