Former Demons player Liam Jurrah acquitted of charges in NT

[Zelezny Chucks]

I think the best course of action would be to round up the kids and place them in families in the city to avoid them growing up with this culture. This solution will work.

Hello 1930's nice of you to call....

Never heard the expression tongue in cheek?

[lion heart]

you can't help but feel cut up about the situation ...

Surely he faces the AXE from Melbourne.....

[MatteeG]

A totally inaccurate article. Liam Jurrah is not a star.

Agreed, but I never thought he was a hack....

[Zelezny Chucks]

Easy lads, I think some of these comments may cut a bit close to the bone...

Boo bloody Hoo. We all have pressures in life and some do it harder than others. Indigenous have excuses made for them far too often, who the hell attacks someone with a machete. Lock him up and thanks for the memories you criminal.

Worst part is it costs $80 per day to keep em in clink!

[RustyCage]

no matter how you sugar coat his culture, past experiences and difficulties in adjusting to his new AFL lifestyle, doing what he is alleged to do is disgraceful and is no way acceptable in any civilised society.

[Hefty]

just on the radio he has been granted bail and is back in Melbourne. He claims he had nothing to do with said machette attack.

The term 'star' is used far too loosely, I was listening to the sport news on the radio this morning and the news reader explained that former Hawks 'star' Brent Renouf will play for the Power this weekend. I thought f**k off in no way is Brent Ronouf a star, a good ruckman but definitely not a star.

Yep and good on him for that. But still he is no star.

Never said Renouf was a star though

The situation in outback indigenous communities is one that the average Australian will never know, understand or comprehend. If you've never been to one, do yourself a favour and make a visit, it may just give you some pause for thought.

Very well said. Definitely gives you some perspective on your own life.

I've heard a story or two. Almost like something from another universe and definitely not something you'd expect to be happening in Australia.

Good article by the Age, you can talk about the exaggerated term 'star' in the headlines etc etc but the facts are 90% of people on this site and majority of the wider community cant understand what Liam has dealt with in his life and the efforts he has made to come to Melb and play AFL football. The additional pressure of a massive family/community feud and the expectation on him to help them as well as be exposed to completely foreign things as simple as the beach and a gym its amazing he has survived this long in the big smoke.

Well said Footy Smart.
I thought the exact same thing when I read the article and then posted the link.

Yeah I have pressures in my life, and i bet most other people do...im not gonna take a chunk outta someones head. I bet if a white guy from a lower socio-economic background did it most people would want the "feral" locked up...

In no way is this racist either, because I judge people on their actions, not the colour of their skin...

If this happened it would stay behind closed doors and we'd be none the wiser. Different kettle of fish

Gotta love being innocent until proven guilty in this country.

Gotta love being innocent until proven guilty in this country.

These days it's a trial by media.
