      I wouldn't say the Canberra league is professional football.

          Compared to junior football it would be.

                  Smith is a professional though - full-time (or close to full-time) and gets paid for it. The time demands on rookies wouldn't be that much different to the demands on the Halls and Goodes of this world.

                      Correct. Junior footballers don't train 3 or 4 times a week.

                          I know he's a preofessional, never said he wasn't.

                          But the OP talked about him PLAYING professional football.
