[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Sen reporting that Liam Jurrah is being held by police , no charges have been laid.

Cameron Schwab is on the run home with Ox and Mark and may shed more light on this story.

Hope everything is ok

Apparently in relation to a machete attack that happened in the area?

Quickly - Better start speculating before we hear any official statements, otherwise the story won't be nearly as dramatic!


This is actually none of our business - unless he gets incarcerated for a crime, thus disallowing him to play, then we shouldn't even hear about it. Until that happens this is a non-story -

 

[Leezorr]

Of course its a story, this is an AFL forum he is an AFL player, he is in custody.

There is your statement.

We don't know if he is guilty of anything, that is more the point, but to say this isn't a story is nonsense.

Reports on Twitter don't look good at all

Some more details.

MELBOURNE livewire Liam Jurrah is being held by police in Alice Springs and is facing questioning over his alleged involvement in a machete attack.

Jurrah, 23, is on personal leave from the Demons, after complications from wrist surgery.

Northern Territory police have confirmed they attended a disturbance at Little Sisters Town Camp on the outskirts of Alice Springs overnight.

"On arrival police found a 35-year-old man with serious head injuries alleged to have been inflicted by a machete," a police spokesperson said.

"Two men aged 23 years are currently in police custody with investigations continuing."

Melbourne confirmed Jurrah's arrest in a statement on its website.

"The Melbourne Football Club has been advised that Liam Jurrah, who is currently on personal leave to deal with family and community issues in Central Australia, is being held by police following an incident overnight," the statement read.

"No charges have been laid."

Police have confirmed they're investigating a second stabbing in Alice Springs where a young man was found lying in a car in a car park.

A 30 year-old female is currently in custody for offences relating to the incident.

Superintendent Michael White said police are investigating if the incidents are linked.

Any ideas what's going on?

 

[Chism]

Just a warning to remember this is the Main Board and post accordingly.

Bay 13 type rubbish and trolling will not be looked highly upon.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

wow. this could be potentially huge if he is convicted

 

[Defacto]

WTF is going on up there!!!!

hopefully he can get through this and get back to the demons

 

[nickh32]

I think the appropriate thing for the media to do now is judge and condemn Jurrah without knowing the facts and then proceed to say how much of a rabble Melbourne is in how now Gary Lyon is done and Stynes has left the club is falling apart. I expect carro to be working on this right now.

But on a serious note, I'm hoping Jurrah was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and didnt do anything himself.

That's right, just like the Dane Swan drugs thread.

[radiojake]

Cue speculative hysteria -


Nothing like a good ol' media beat up of innuendo and unsubstantiated reports to get the juices flowing....

right. Everything on Twitter is false.

Ok.

If you use twitter as a source for something as sensational and serious as this then you are an idiot of the highest order, which is something I already suspected.

Why don't you leave the invective out.

Journo's from HS, The Age and SNF are all over this like a rash on Twitter.
Doesn't mean everyone on twitter is a cowboy...cowboy...
