What do people think about Port installing two coaches, Roy Laird and Nathan Bassett. There is no doubt that Roy has the senior SANFL experience and that Bassett has the youth, drive and AFL playing experience. As I understand that Laird has a fear of flying, Bassett could attend the games in...

The Jurrah saga demonstrates that the AFL need clear rules and consequences for inappropriate off field player behaviour. That includes rules and consequence for players charged with criminal offending.

According to NT law a custodial sentence is mandatory for any adult convicted of a violent offence. Jurrah will have a family reunion at Alice Springs Correction Centre!

It is really amusing reading all you soft southerner’s comments. None of you can even come to understand this issue until you’ve lived in these “traditional” Indigenous communities, where violence is a normal part of life. Where brain damage from alcohol and fighting is common. Where the first...

Three things: 1. Two seasons after that game the Crows won the first of two premierships, whilst Fitzroy was merged into a club that is based 1,600kms away. 2. If this a history lesson, do you recall ADL V FITZ - Footy Park, R11, 1991. There were fights in the stands at Footy Park and the...

Yes, you are right. North have a lot to be worried about, because they will have to merge with the Demons. Melbourne Kangaroos!

My first footy club is Norwood, which was founded in 1878. It was the VFL that screwed up the SANFL, thus my club. I have no pity in watching one of the VFA foundation club from dissapearing of the face of this planet!

I'm a bit confused? How does the Casey Scorpions success relate to the Demons ability to perform in the AFL? The Casey Scorpions are just a club that is affiliated with the Demons. They do not carry the loser mentality that the Demons hold! I reckon the current Demons side would struggle in both...

You can say what you want, but there will be no AFL with out at least two South Australian sides. The AFL has a vested interest in keeping South Australian footy alive, particularly considering it was the old VFL that nearly killed the game there. There is no benefit in keeping dead wood clubs...

Who cares if the Demons are a foundation club! They were a foundation club of the Victorian league, which is now a national league. It was the old Victorian league that decided to screw over the other big state leagues in Western Australia and South Australia through the 70s and 80s. I have no...

Good work, I hope you dutched it up under t he sheets and then gave your missus a whiff! I bet that fart was more potent than all of the Melbourne Footy Club!

What is the future for the Melbourne Football Club: merger, relegation or relocation? Could they be relegated to the VFL? Could they merge with the Kangaroos, Western Bulldogs, St Kilda or Port Adelaide? Could they relocate to Perth, Auckland or Tasmania?

I don't recall every having blamed anyone, let alone the MFC, for Jurrah's "issues", he is responsible for his own behaviour. However, I do believe that the MFC has not responded appropriately to the accusation that he is a violent thug! Yes the Dees can get lower, it will be when the AFL...

Have you forgotten the Liam Jurrah saga? The MFC has been pathetic in allowing a person charged with a serious violent offence to continue training and possibly playing, when any other reasonably employer would have suspended them for the duration of the criminal proceedings. If I was a parent...

My initial instinct with Jason Mifsud was that he is dodgy. This is a bloke that has used the media and gossip to solve his problems. These problems should have been managed in-house by the AFL. He would not appear to be a man of great integrity. However, there is part of me that believes that...

I haven't read every post in this forum, but I believe that plans for Adelaide and Perth stadiums are short sighted. Both cities should be planning to build facilities that are capable of hosting the grand final. I would suggest stadiums in excess of 80,000. Governments in both cities should be...

When I heard about the crowd on Saturday on the Gold Coast it gave me hope that the NT might one day have its own AFL team. In my opinion, if the Territory Thunder played in the AFL they would get an average crowd of 15,000 people. For the Thunder there should be little steps and a promotion...

I'm not sure about the length of jail terms, but we in the NT have very large prisons relative to our populations. I think there are six prisoners to ever 100 people, when it is something like 2 prisoners for every 100 people in the south. Something like 85% of all prisoners are Indigenous! I've...

There is a very high conviction rate here in the NT, unless you are able to blame your crime on a dingo! My bet would be that Liam will be reunited with his cousins at Alice Springs Correctional Centre in the near future...

Under NT law any person convicted of a violent offence must serve a term of imprisonment. It is not an assumption, it is a fact! My local mayor recently served a 10 day sentencing for attacking his neighbour with a golf club. Delisting by the Demons is a definitely an assumption!

The question we should ask ourselves is whether we would want our children, siblings or the like to associate with someone who has been charged with violent offending? My answer would be NO. My guess is that yours would be similar... So why does the Melbourne Football Club and AFL allow Liam...

You are right. Alice Springs Correctional Centre would just be an opportunity for a Warlpri man to have a family reunion. I say bring back the cat o' nine tails!

It appears that if it is Indigenous violence there are excuses made by "Southerners", such as it is cultural or traditional. These are crap excuses. These guys are practising a bastardised version of their traditional law, which is seriously distorted by grog and gunja. That is where skin colour...

Maybe I am confused, but wasn't it Andrew Lovett and Brendan Fevola that were supended by their AFL clubs as their criminal cases went to court? Just remember, all of the police reports allege that Jurrah was caught carrying a machete at night time. This is a very serious crime no matter the...

This kind of response typifies the “Southern” (well this bloke is apparently from France) acceptance of violence in the Northern Territory! That is acceptance of the fear that parents, children and grandparents experience as the result of a small number of thugs! GUTLESS!! I wonder what your...

Let me make this crystal clear, Liam Jurrah's alleged offending is nothing less than thuggery!! It is the sort of thuggery and violence that has come to characterise the Northern Territory and, more particularly, central Australia. The Demon's and AFL's lack of sanctions against Jurrah is a show...
