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!

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • 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.
