No

I disagree.

Good talk.

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.

Is Cyril Rioli a star?

All I know is that he sure is.... DELICIOUS!!!!! (sorry, had to do it...)

Gippy
