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.

    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!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
