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".

Posted

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.

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.

Posted

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!

Posted

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

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

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

Exactly.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
