The tragic downfall of Liam Jurrah

Recommended Posts

The more you post the further you dig, anyone thats a racist like yourself should be banned from this forum.

If the moderators want to ban me for showing you up as an ignorant middle class white boy then so be it

That doesn't narrow the field much.

So any one who disagrees with you fits in to that category do they?

a little

I don't argue much on this forum except when people bang on about Liam needing the full weight of the law to fall on his head or other beauties such as good riddance to him. It annoys me that such dimwits our on this site. The smart folks are now calling me racist. .I actually find that level of stupidity quite amusing.

I wonder if his tattoo has a spelling error and that's why he's annoyed,

I don't know if he has tattoos and I'm not a fan of is posting, but your continued racist remarks certainly don't elevate you above him.

The law will deal with Liam Jurrah one way or the other; neither you nor I know the full details of the case so neither of us should comment. I won't but I'm not going to call anyone a middle class white boy; that is racist and no better than the person you are arguing with.

Yes I did see that it had todays date ...???? strange!

No you just expect everyone to make nice little lives for themselves In their ticky tacky houses and can't fathom how or why Jurrah left the MFC or why he was involved in the problems he's been involved in. I'll tell you why. It's because every individual is different and is surrounded by different circumstances. You clearly know nothing of the plight of these communities you think should just get on with things like everyone else. I'm generalising when I call you a middle class white boy not being racist. I can generalise because I can tell by the tone of your posts that I'm pretty spot on with my opinion of you. You're not that smart but think you are. You have a simplistic view of the world gained from a high school education and a seat on a comfy but cheap couch with a gameboy.

I hope Liam gets a fair trial. He has a right to that.

I have been critical of other parts of his "stardom"

There is no doubt he has been used by others to a degree.

But a fair trial is a right.

Yes his minders had it all mapped out didn't they?

The 'Liam Jurrah Story' was sure to be followed by ...

... and so on

It had all begun to take on that kind of tone, hadn't it. Shame for them he was so tragically ... human.

Looks like Demonland favorite Liam Jurrah not only hits blokes with machette's - but also clubs women.

At least we know what he does in his spare time, when he isn't drink driving.

Go back to your knitting.

So this might be lost on you but in court there is a prosecution side and a defence side. The prosecution side tells their story and then the defence tests it.

And then vice versa.

This is the prosecutions version of events. It will all be rebuffed once the defence has their go.

Way to go off half cocked dimwit.

Yes sorry Jack, I was referring to the first part of your post. Simply suggesting the Alice Springs News as a good, balanced news source.

Notable is the description of the jury as being mostly white. The people of Alice Springs, black and white, are sick of the drug fuelled violence in town and want to put a stop to it. Further to this however is the frustration with the apparent leniency when it comes to sentencing. There is a lot of sympathy with the Police at the moment who are doing all they can only to have judges (seemingly in locals eyes) letting those prosecuted off lightly. The local jail is overflowing with a obviously high number of indigenous prisoners and the situation in Yuendumu would appear to have no end in sight (For those of you that care, while the recent chapter of this story goes back to a terrible death a few years ago, for the groups/families involved, the origins of this feud goes back decades). What this means for Liam, I'm not sure, but there are plenty of people involved in this case, who want him to be made an example of.

I hope the judge and jury aren't minded that way because that's not how the legal system should work. Liam Jurrah's on trial for allegedly committing a violent crime. The role of the court is to determine whether or not he's guilty as charged. If he's found guilty then some of the considerations you've mentioned might come into play on the matter of sentencing but in the first instance, it should all be about determining the facts and not about the issues that affect the communities of Yuendumu and Alice Springs, as dire as they might be.

It seems there's hardly a thread in Demonland history (since I've been a member at least) that when the topic is about an indigenous player, hasn't descended into racist accusations by a variety of posters. I've been a victim myself.

I wish the moderators would be more proactive and hit this rot on the head before it gets out of hand.

Getting back to the actual topic a little (sorry if that upsets people), I would like to say how proud I am if the club that we are still in there backing Liam even after he walked out on the us. We still have player welfare people up there at the trial and presumably are still footing much of the legal bills. I think that this is a great show if integrity and fair-mindedness.

Support, emotionally? Sure.

Footing the legal bills? FFS Get a grip. Absolutely not.

Black, white, yellow, pink or purple, It doesn't matter what colour or race the person is.

I will not sit here and support Demonlands favorite son (Jurrah) for clubbing women, driving around trashed and belting blokes over the head with Machetties.

Go take your race card else where you big sook.

Why not go for the trifecta? A third attempt at the plural of "machete"?

Whilst Im sure Liam's circumstances are different to the majority of us. What choices did Liam have the night in which he's accused of using the Machete? Was he obliged as a tribal warrior to issue justice under 'aboriginal law' or were the actions he took due to being under the influence? I don't know all the facts so I won't pass judgement. As an outsider it does appear Liam's troubles are related in many ways to his abuse of alcohol & not just his life circumstance.

    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.

    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
