I am not sure if this has been posted elsewhere if so my appologies.

Liam Jurrah was one of the MFC better players when at his peak,

Is Liam just another casualty within the Melbourne football club

Or just another Victim of his on circumstances

"Former AFL football star Liam Jurrah today abandoned his bail application and has been remanded in custody to appear in the Alice Springs Local Court, by video link, on May 29.

Earlier today Magistrate David Bamber was told that Mr Jurrah, now on three charges of aggravated assault and one of unlawfully cause serious harm, wanted to change his bail application from Hermannsburg to Yuendumu."

Its sad to see any player end up in this situation, but does it still have relevance or is he now off the radar fully?

    Give it a break.

    The club has done a number of important issues poorly over the past 5 years.

    The handling, support and assistance to Jurrah was as much if not more than a Club could possibly do.

    In this instance the Club should be congratulated for its handling of Jurrah all the way through.

    But it's a 2 way street and the issues Jurrah has are his issues.

    The club did fulfilled its obligations here.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
