    :lol: It's always good when we can talk these things over.

    I think he's another who's on the way. A very creative player, but yes, as has been stated "star" is a subjective and purely opinion-based label. So one cannot be right or wrong for claiming either side.

    Personally I equate star with A grader.

    That's where my head is at on this semantical argument.

    And I also believe that a team has a finite number of stars. For example - Andrew Mackie is not a star; he is the luckiest bastard in the world for having that midfield in front of him and Scarlett right behind him.

    And he was plucked at random - applies to plenty of other B graders who are made to look A because of the company they keep.

    Liam Jurrah has shown us all that he can be an exciting and unpredictable footballer, and a regular 'headache' for opposition coaching staff and players. None of us can say with certainty how his career will progress from here, but I think we can be fairly confident that, barring injury, he will be a feature on many highlight reels over the coming seasons. It is really quite irrelevant whether he fits this persons or that persons definition of 'star'. What is relevant is that he is very likely to be precisely the type of player that our footy club has craved for many, many years. If he can at least match his 2009 feats in 2010, he will win us some matches, draw crowds through the turnstyles, and sell memberships merchandise. It's just sensational that we have him on our list.

    That's a fair comment. Definitely agree that Mackie is a lucky bastard.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
