Seems to be a little difference of opinion going on in the Liam Jurrah thread.

Is Liam Jurrah a star of the Mfc ?

Simple question.

    has potential to be, but I reckon you're only a star once you prove it over a period of time. I'm hoping he can.

    What, one more game ? :D

    So..to pose the devils advocacy, if those suggesting hes not a star yet, then he must be by the 'yet" a star in the making. If he's a star in the making( bysuch definition ) then he is already a star, just not quite so bright.

    A star is a star... whether YOU see its light is a factor of you ability to see it...not whether the light exists !!

    He's not, let's move on and just enjoy his progression

    The real question should be:

    Is Liam Jurrah better than Robbie Flower in his prime?

    The answer is of course "yes".

    lets not confuse "star"..with necessarily "accomplished "

    he's already a "Rising ' Star

    he's already been the subject of more than a couple of segments on telly Liam Jurrah MFC (on ABC )

    O'Loughlin thinks he's a star O'loughlin considers Jurrah a future star

    Was already a Star for Yuendumu

    Talking with others who folow other clubs...they see him as a star ( apparently we have few..lol )

    Maybe the only issue here is some think he's already a star, others think he wil be. :lol:

    Fruitless exercise in semantics

    then dont bother !! some of us obviously think diferently to others including yourself... who'd ever think that possible on a forum :rolleyes:

    But possibly if you have nothing to add...do just that !!

    I voted for no.

    I really love the kid but you cant really play 9 games and be a start can you?

    Imagine if he where to off and leave or even get injured.

    Give him the end of next season and he WILL be a start.

  • Quote

    when he contrubutes to 80+ goals over a couple of years and is in AA contention he will be a star

    and not a day before that

  • Quote

    I voted no, he's an incredible prospect and can seemingly do the unbelievable but IMO he still has a way to go before he can be considered a star. Firstly i don't think it's right to put that kind of pressure on someone that's still so raw, and secondly star players are established and can handle the heat when the other teams place extra pressure on them. With only 9 games under his belt he hasn't been given the best defenders and the right amount of respect, round 1 next year that will change because teams now know what happens if you underestimate him.

    That said, if he continues down his current path midway next year he will be the talk of the town (and not just because of his incredible journey).

    I disagree. what many are talking of is accomplishments. i.e you can not be this or that without first having done X and Y

    .

    Being a Star is quite separate but can be parallel. A Star is someone who by their very presence and the qualities they bring to bear on a game set themselves apart and above the general masses. Jurrah does this.

    He stars in games..he is a a genuine star of the game. His luminosity may get brighter still,,but he already shines.

  • Quote

    i think when people are coming to the game just to watch him play on a regular basis then he is a star!

  • Quote

    you could say LJ is a star...but some stars shine brighter than others.

    ie., davey vs LJ...davey is a shining star compared with LJ! LJ being just star...and you would say Ablett is a super star!

    By some people's definitions we have about 8 "stars" on our list

    Shall I start a thread on that?

    And you've done exactly that with your pointless nit picking.

    Star is subjective. To some he is, to some he isn't.

    Exactly.

    Prefer a poll...simple yes or no question... that proves the point. :blink:

    His second year could well give us the answer.

    He is going to kick some wild goals though!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
