Not on my part dc. Don't shoot the messenger. :)

no i know that.

that made-up flag was just ausflag drumming up publicity. it came out of nowhere

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.


oh dear. the saga goes from bad to worse

Adelaide

court issues warrant for Liam Jurrah's arrest

Interesting Bv he is now Former AFL footballer

Never thought I would see the day, MFC not mentioned.

Goes from sad to very sad
 

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

You talked too soon, Channel 9 news preview said "ex-demon"

Yes but the HUN story did not so I see that as a very small victory

That fateful friday he went home...

He had it all down here. Threw it away.

Haha agreed. I couldnt believe it until i read it.

Got to enjoy the small things in life!

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

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
