Will be playing in the curatin raiser to our game today.

Tune in on channel 7 at 11:50pm

Thanks for that tip dazzle - I'll try and catch it.

 

Arrrrh …………………………… what might have been !

I read the thread title and thought..

What....he's  been stuffed and mounted !!

 

you may wish to merge with an earlier thread   

 

Good on him. Hope he has his health and life back on track.

Oh what could have been. 

Can we rookie him to play the 2 NT games? Work with Wrecker as part of the academy, and get some interest in the Dees up there.

Otherwise it's just like playing 2 home games against West Coast or Adelaide every year.

Had he of started his career not when we were a complete rable things more than likely would have turned out better. You can’t do much about culture but being in a poor side with no leadership off field wouldn’t have been appealing.

Issues started when he left mfc not prior

Wrong. Started drinking at MFC. China game anyone?

I didn't watch that game but just before the main game, one the commentators claimed that Liam's younger brother also played but on the opposite side.

Anything known about him?

What a talent, what a shame.

My recollection is that he first got into "difficulties" when he had that wrist injury and MFC gave him leave to return home.

it's got very little to do with MFC and whether we were/weren't a basket case. Liam had cultural responsibilities thrust on him at an early age that would severely test anyone. It was almost impossible for him to make a go of it at any AFL club, particularly one in remote cold grey Melbourne.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling this China trip was significant in kicking things off in terms of drinking.

Hope he has a few son's for the club

Sadly he only played 36 games.

Some Jurrah magic: 

 

Hard to believe he's 30 years old already. And so's Austin Wonaemirri.
