Just reported on SEN. Unless he can play for a SA club, he will quit the game. Wants to be closer to family.

 

[DeesFan]

Loss but not sure how much of a loss. I wonder if him going may save someone.

Anyway life goes on .. wish him the best .. thats for a couple of good memories..

 

[Carusiii]

Oh no you serious? So disappointing. Thanks for the memories LJ!

Says he wants to keep playing football, but only if he can do it from SA as that allows him to be closer to family.

I wish him all the best and hope he does get picked up by the crows or power, but more importantly that he can get his life and family back on an even keel.

I am also immensely proud of the way the club handled this whole situation.

Heartbreaking to see him leave, the guy really had some massive talent just waiting to be unearthed . I hope he beats his court case and he doesn't have to go through anything this difficult again, wish him all the best.

 

[Captain Jack]

Terrible news, not unexpected though... I hope he can get back to playing AFL for his own good and the competition's. Amazing talent, shouldn't be wasted.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

F*** me.

Add another to the "What news will you wake to" story list, I guess. Only this one's actually happened

 

[Tulip]

All the best.

Wish he could have been more up front, really.

 

[Biffinator]

Hope we get something for him. Will this year get any worse?

 

[Tulip]

He'll never play AFL football again, too big a risk after the way the MFC handled it.

Oh well.

At least we can focus on football again.

 

[Tulip]

Hope we get something for him. Will this year get any worse?

Tanking investigation, please avoid tempting fate.

And no, he's walked out on us.

 

[tasmanlvr]

Immensely shattering.

I won't forget the highlights he provided. Imagine having to go through this thrice in two seasons, first Wona, Lawrence and now Jurrah. Just our luck.

All the best LJ

 

[Captain Jack]

At least he waited until the season was done to announce this, he could have just walked out halfway through the years and left us in pieces... no doubt it would have been easier.

 

[Bluelegs]

I just want to add that the seasons over and it's still getting worse.

 

[Carusiii]

Makes it easier on the club to decide i guess, although i reckon we might've given him another year with a clause surely?

 

[Biffinator]

Is he out of contract, please?

 

[Eth]

This year can G&GF, seriously...

Massive shame after all the faith both Jurrah and the club showed towards each other.

 

[raven echo]

Year from hell continues.

Shattered to see him go but you have to put family first.

 

[CWaffles]

Shattered, but not unexpected! Looking forward to some good news coming our way!

I wish him all the best and hope he does get picked up by the crows or power, but more importantly that he can get his life and family back on an even keel. I am also immensely proud of the way the club handled this whole situation.

Yeah, fair to say the club have gone above and beyond for him over the last year. Be nice if he'd said something when he asked for indefinite leave.

If he seriously does want to continue in the AFL, it seems pretty unlikely another club would show nearly as much commitment to him as we did.

 

[Bluelegs]

Is he out of contract, please?

Yeah, there was speculation if we'd renew it. Good thing we didn't but walking out he would have broken the contract anyway.

 

[Eth]

Is he out of contract, please?

Yes, he is. Not contracted for 2013 so he can walk out.

Sad. The New Year can't come quick enough.
