FORMER Melbourne footballer Liam Jurrah has walked away from Port Adelaide's offer to represent its SANFL team in 2013. In a statement released today, Port Adelaide said it offered Jurrah "extensive support" amid his turbulent life away from football. Jurrah is wanted after failing to answer to charges of assault and drink driving at Elizabeth Magistrates Court this morning. ..."it appears that complex circumstances in his life away from football have prevented him from making the commitment required by the club." the statement read. Port Adelaide has been genuine in its desire to help and has attempted to maintain dialogue with Liam over recent months, but it is clear that he now needs to focus entirely on the matters he is dealing with in his personal life. Jurrah faces serious charges stemming from an incident at Little Sisters town camp, outside Alice Springs where he allegedly wielded a machete in March last year.
