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

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

[DemonOX 8,809]

Oh what could have been. 

[FireInTheBennelly 4,099]

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?

[Bitter but optimistic 22,283]

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?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

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.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

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

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