Congratulations for taking this thread to a place that it didn't need to go anywhere near.

I don't think I took it there. if you go back through the thread you will see where it germinated.

    People are not critical of Liam because of the colour of his skin, people are critical of the offences. Liam's is a well broadcasted case, and has a connection to the MFC, which creates further interest. I do believe there was a thread recently about Nathan Carroll being arrested, and many strong views were published in that.

    Bloody near every thread on Demonland turns in to an attack (of varying degrees) or strong criticism of an individual or individuals. Watts cops it. Neeld cops it. Caroline Wilson cops it. Steven Milne cops it. Bill Vlahos is copping it. But as soon as an indigenous player cops it all of a sudden it's a racial attack?

    Justifiably or unjustifiably, everyone will have an opinion on a topic. I would strongly doubt that anyone on here would have different opinions on a topic because of the background of the individual/s in said topic.

    It's not uncommon, you just have to look at America, where people are labelled racists for simply pointing out that Obamacare is a flawed system

    My only comment in all of this is maybe this thread ought to be moved to the general discussion area as any relevance to a player being Melbourne is all but well and truly on the scrap heap.

    What has being involved in a high speed car chase got to do with Liam's skin colour or race?

    He has made many trips to Adelaide lately from his home.

    From his facebook entries not always in a good frame of mind.

    I don't want him to kill himself or his kids who often ride with him or take out another car if he is speeding whilst stoned or drinking.

    He has had too many chances already.

    I have the same attitude towards any person.

    He is a danger to himself and others

    It was inevitable billy. Always happens when the topic centers around indigenous Aussies.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
