Off-field assistance ... The Power are setting up a support structure for Jurrah. Source: News Limited
Port Adelaide have confirmed they will not select Liam Jurrah via the pre-season or rookie drafts, instead opting to put in place a support structure they believe will maximise his opportunity to resume an AFL career.

Port Adelaide general manager football Peter Rohde said Jurrah had performed well while training with the Power over the past fortnight, but that it wasn't in the club's nor the 24-year-old's best interests to recruit him at this stage.
"Port Adelaide is committed to doing everything it can to assist Liam Jurrah to get back to the top level," Rohde said.
"However, we think that injury-related fitness concerns together with off-field issues he is dealing with, means it is not yet the right time to fully integrate him back into the AFL system and all that it demands.
Rohde said Jurrah had clearly shown a strong desire to relaunch his AFL career.
"We have given an enormous amount of careful thought to this decision and have weighed up a lot of factors, none more so that what we believe is the best thing for Liam and his long-term ability to continue what is a unique football journey," he said.
"Liam wants to return to AFL football and he has demonstrated that to a significant degree by the way he has applied himself to training in the last couple of weeks.
"We also think Port Adelaide has demonstrated its intent to help him achieve that goal when we think he has the best chance of doing it."
