That's precisely my point scott.
Trying to show I know nothing about football even though I may never have played, that's a fine argument scott. Sounds like the "i'm a better supporter than you" mentality really and that I find pretty disappointing. if that wasn't your intention then I will issue a full apology but it seems like you think i know nothing about the game. We should all be students of the game rather than trying to suggest other supporters aren't as knowledgable just because they haven't played.
Well, THATS WHAT players in AFL require
Well Clem NEVER SAID that I'm better NEVER tried to show you didn't know anything about football NEVER! As I've said before anyone can have an opinion on the game thats anyone! You seem to have a very good understanding of the game and some very good opinions and I've read them for 5 years. But these days you talk definites "should" "this is" "thats what" etc not "maybe" "could be" "probably" "I think". Its starting to come out as theories but not from practical experience.
Its also you who has put the

mean to you Clem is it you think your right I'm wrong or I've got no idea? Why can you roll your eyes at me but I can't ask if you have played footy? Why do you get to say I offer nothing to the disscussion with 10 line posts but what I get from you is
Maybe you could have a think about it instead of playing the victim!
Is your dislike (or dissapointment) of Campo Kouta and Whitnall based on what you read from someone else or what you see yourself?
Yes I do believe you miss the finer points of the game by not playing ie. people who are very critical (the players are shit/hacks etc) when players spray shots when kicking into a strong wind would probably not have played the game yet the ones who do would probably say thats dissapointing but shit I know how hard that kick was. Tryants has said height means nothing in football before but has also said he doesn't play. Do you think he really knows if height is important when playing football or is he guessing? No I don't think people who have never played footy have no idea but if the do yes I think it adds anywhere up to 5% to 50% of a better understanding of the game. Your the one attacking me with the

so why didn't you answer the question straight away? Do you think you miss something by not playing?
Is Blue Vain telling me he has vast experience playing and coaching football over many years or is he telling me he knows more then me because he has played and coached?
From memory you are about 25 so I suggest to you go and join a club and experience footy first hand and see what its like. Right up until I played my last game of football I was still finding new things about the game.
Don't want an apology
