How does Liam feel about moving from Victoria to Western Australia?

Rohan O'Brien says:

"He's a player we've liked from afar for a long time. We think he's a terrifically skilled player, he's got a wonderful character, is a good leader and can play in a few roles. He may start more as a wingman type player and then move through the midfield. We're really thrilled to get him."
