You see its about using different means of educating yourself.
For example when we signed Gutherson I said he was a terrific signing, I was very happy with us getting him. However some on here said he was a terrible pick up and wanted him gone after only two games. I kept defending him as I knew what he had to offer, both from watching him live a few times and reading his game stats etc in footy mags. I educated myself. And I was proven right, he is one of the shining lights in our team.
Another example is at the other end of the scale, some on here were over the moon with joy when we signed Ben Roberts. I could not believe the great opinion some on here had of him. He's always been a rocks rocks rocks, dimond, rocks rocks rocks type player. I formed my opinion both from watching him live and from reading his player stats etc. I was proven right. Ordinary signing. For all his brilliance, he makes far too many errors and that's why Canterbury, us and Melbourne all cut him loose.
You see champ its about educating yourself. I do that through watching as many games as I can and reading about the players and their game day stats, along with years of playing and coaching the game.
My problem with you is you want o bag someone from the safety of your computer for doing things differently to yourself. You wish to make them feel somewhat inferior or stupid, when it is someone like you who is often shown to be ignorant about the game and what different players offer.
Even Walters last night said Hayne's best position is fullback and coming into the attack with his playmaker skills from fullback which is very different to what a full time half does for a team.
Anyway groover you continue to bag and abuse people from the safety of your keyboard. I won't be reading any more of your posts on here as they offer nothing of any relevance or interest.
