The tragic downfall of Liam Jurrah


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Jurrah really did the club a favour by walking out on us, he basically gave us an 'honourable' way out. Could you imagine how the Melbourne media would have responded to the club if he was still a listed player.

Well, even I have to agree now that if there is truth to this latest charge, then LJ has well and truly torn up his last "Get out of Jail Free" card. A really sorry state of affairs.

Dear Australia, outback Australian indigenous communities are seriously ****ed. See Liam Jurrah for another of the long list of sad stories. I don't have a clue how to fix this mess and the AFL have tried to play a small part but it doesn't seem to have worked. If anyone has any genius ideas I wish them well.

Yeah but for every Liam Jurrah there are plenty of happy stories, like Garramul Yunupingu. Let's celebrate them instead of wasting pity on those who won't help themselves.

No-one can fix another's mess from with-out. Change can only come from with-in.

I fear for his health.

I can't see a way out for Liam, in the city life, or in the Bush.

his bridge is burning from both ends.

That's a good way to put it dee-luded. I still can't believe that this has happened. I hope everything turns out alright for him but in the end I'm not sure how it can.

Its funny you know.....lifes about choices.

On one path Liam could have been a highly paid AFL superstar.

But Liam chose the other fork in the road, and is now on the run from the law.

When he bolted from the MFC I had this gut feeling this would happen.

As soon as he returned to the FAMILY it all went down hill at a rapid rate.

As soon as he lost the support of the MFC it all came apart

Sad but not unexpected IMO

A bit like guys who spend their time writing training reports

What, "simple?"

That's one of the worst replies I've read on this board, Roost It.

Some supporters are keen to get along to training and report back to Demonlanders and have time to share their thoughts on methods and updates on new recruits and so forth. If anything, you should appreciate any updates you read.

If you're fair dinkum and sensible, I'm sure you would re-consider your post and offer apologies to all in sundry that contribute training updates here.

not quite deezee, I think Liam was chosen to be his clans leader, born into it.... & he's just early 20's. too young for so much crap.

he wasn't going to make it WYL

& his decisions of poor judgement, show his true age, & battle with too much pressure.

he was up against it. from the start.

Having read the info available this afternoon it appears to me that LJ is missing.

It does not look good

I fear the worse case headline has not been written.

I hope I am wrong but I have a very bad feeling about this tonight

    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
