oh yeah, hasn't played a decent game in 2 years.
further to the dearth of sophistication regarding the interpretation of our defensive forward role,
is the disregard for the fact that Tom Lynch isn't out there,
making the already hard and unrewarding role
at least twice as hard and half as rewarding.
im not about to say anyone who never played footy has a simplistic, unrealistic view of the game,
however I reckon a really large percentage of people who have a simplistic, unrealistic view of the game,
have never played it.
like 29,000 people at every Brisbane Lions home game.
further, I'm fine with people having simplistic, unrealistic viewpoints;
I possess such perspectives on astronomy, art, endogenous economic cycles, the settings on washing machines, the Tour de France, music, greyhound racing, ballet, menopause, fashion, and a vast amount of other things
but I dont pretend otherwise
