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

  • Quote

    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.

  • 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).

  • Quote

    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!

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
