If he could seriously get himself mentally and physically right and prove that he has left his past behind i would absolutely jump at him..

One of the most naturally talented players i have ever seen.

    Absolutely one of my favourite Demons ever when playing, a joy to watch... BUT he's 27 and just starting the initial process of getting back into footy, would be getting close to 30 when trying to get back into the league, and that's best case scenario. Time has run out you'd think.

    No from me. I loved his brief but glorious stint with us but he went crazy. Really messed up crazy. We don't need that. We are a football club not a psych ward or a parole office.

    There was an article that said he got out of prison in September this year, but didn't he play in a game with Davey and Aussie this year?

    I'm not sure how I feel about a player who assaulted his partner playing in the AFL.

    Don't confuse a comeback to playing footy with a comeback to AFL footy.  Good luck on the former  - might help fix him up.  The latter would be a miracle needing divine intervention.

    It's a no from me unless he spends 2 years being the ultimate pro.

    Even then he'll be 29...

    Although could be a stewie dew type ring in haha

    I hope he makes it work with the Redtails. He needs it and indigenous communities need to see it. More than anything, I hope the Redtails concept works.

    I vaguely recall something similar when Peter Rohde (I think) was coaching the Bulldogs. every player had to have either a part-time job or be enrolled in study.

    I don't want him at the club.

    He bashes women. He is a scumbag.

    NO!

    Draft him now!

    Kick the ball inside forward 50 and he will beat his opponent. FOOTY CAN BE THAT SIMPLE!! The better player wins the ball and kicks the goal.

    Liam is that better player. Boy we had a poor midfield when he was playing yet he still kicked more goals than Hogan did in his first 20 games. Would kick 40+ this year without thinking about it - such is his talent. Apparently he is very 'prison fit' at the moment (skills/weights/no booze).

    The excruciating pseudo professionalism of the AFL (rewarding GPS data and running patterns over the ability to influence games for example) means that he won't get another shot without being put through torturous non-footy hurdles. But if someone showed some belief in a genuine match winner he would be fine and train the house down I'm sure. Plant him in the F50, spot him up on leads (an old school Ablett Senior role) and he would bolt into AA as a 27 year old I believe. Even if his player ran off him a couple of times, it would be a net 4-5 goal/assists gain per game having him in the team.

    Won't happen, but one can dream...

    Easily the most exciting player I've seen in red and blue, with no disrespect to any others. But I honestly can't see it happening, not even in my wildest dreams anymore. He's finished at AFL level.

    NO!

    To keep it balanced, he does also bash blokes.

    He doesn't discriminate by gender - I give him that much.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
