What the Hell is an "Expert"

[Bossdog 2,002]

After reading a few threads on Demonland talking about what the "experts" think and what the "experts" say.....I got to wondering what or who make people "experts"

Is it the ex player?.....Is it the media men and women who love and watch the game?

Is it the supporter who goes and watchers other games on TV (when their side is not playing)

I watch and listen to Robbo(mark)....He seams to love the game and mixing with the players....But is he an expert?

I watch and listen to David King....a good player and now a media man spouting mumbo/jumbo that makes my head spin...Is he an "expert"....He can't pick a winner in the footy tips for all his "expertness"

Brad Johnson....Great player but only beating Kiss of death in the tipping......"Expert"?????

I have played and watch footy for over 50 years.....Does this make me an "expert"

Mike Sheahan.......Has seen and written about footy for a lot of years.......But does this make him an expert???

I could go on and on......Just wondering......

What is an "expert"? In this day and age, it's anyone who has a twitter account.

Damien Barrett is an expert, THAT'S how loosely we use the term.

The only ones I really take notice of are coaches just out of the game and some current coaches when being candid which is not often. They have a better handle on it than players and the older coaches like Mathews and the like have been out of it too long and are either guessing like you or I, or because they have a platform make controversial statements to keep the platform.

As my dad used to say ... (and I'm sure he wasn't the only one)

"Ex" = has-been (or never-was)

"spurt" = drip under pressure.

The HUN states Jay Clark as a footy "expert"... that's all I have to say.

simples, an expert tells the professional sportsmen what is actually happening. you hear them on the radio all the time.

KB 's an expert. so are dwayne & bristle.

that why I loved Mike Williamson's calling.

Genuine UN-adulterated excitement, & always new he wasn't an expert. It was always easy to just relax into a game with him, & just be a spectator. Without having to think too hard about strategies.. it was just pleasant, & really Enjoyable. Fun even.
