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.

My answer is Yes.

 

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.

Not yet...but could be once he breaks the double digits in games

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:

Right again RR


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.

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

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.


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

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?

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 !!

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

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

Exactly.

Shall I start a thread on that?

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

 

Apparently

His second year could well give us the answer.

He is going to kick some wild goals though!

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
