Very strange.Didn't realise he'd left BF. His going away video had a touch of FIGJAM.
Seemed like he was really pushing the YouTube angle which not sure was really the smart move. But who knows maybe he makes more money that wayDidn't realise he'd left BF. His going away video had a touch of FIGJAM.
I always knew he overrated Academy picks. But I was interested to see how much.Very strange.
I reckon he might regret leaving BF. I know I won't go looking at his stuff unless someone links it and it sounds interesting.
Anyway, if there was a draft expert who was going to put Ashcroft at the top of his draft rankings, it would be KM. I suspect this time his view is probably going to be validated but he has form in heavily promoting the benefits non-football state clubs get from Academies.

These are his power rankings from the drafts. Once he went to ESPN his power ranking lists became became top 20
Also note, This is no disrespect to the bloke. Its obviously a hard thing to judge talent.

I vaguely remember that happening but i was just going off what i found on his final draft rankingsPretty sure Allison was number 1 at one point as well
Yeah that might have been an underage year or some suchI vaguely remember that happening but i was just going off what i found on his final draft rankings
Essendon or Eagles looks like the other potential destinations.Nestle under Lachie Neales wing and take your game to another level, play finals.
Or go to North and have to teach their midfield the basics.
If history is any guide it is really surprising he hasn't got Fletcher top 10.Knightmare top 15 taken from the 2022 AFL draft general discussion thread

Allison was genuinely pretty impressive as an underaged player. Not pick 1 or even first round good, but definitely showed promise.Yeah that might have been an underage year or some such

He chucked the sads because people kept pointing out that he doesn't really watch the kids, even when given the opportunity.Didn't realise he'd left BF. His going away video had a touch of FIGJAM.
Tickner too.Pretty sure Allison was number 1 at one point as well
The best part of being a D&T mod for years was being able to view post edit history. I could literally go back and see the academy kids all being listed in KM's top handful at the start of the year, and then slowly slipping into the teens, 20s and 40s as others' opinions came out and started pointing out they weren't as good as KM had them and had been talking them up.I vaguely remember that happening but i was just going off what i found on his final draft rankings
I believe Knightmare is very, very stats focused, and bases a lot of his rankings on viewing stats, and matching those up with what he sees on field.
One thing he looks at is contested possessions percentage. If a player has a poor percentage, he simply doesn’t rate them. Regardless of the role or skills of the player.
He chucked the sads because people kept pointing out that he doesn't really watch the kids, even when given the opportunity.
I was going to mention this, but couldn’t be bothered bringing it up again. He’s gone, it’s history, moving on.KM is very very pedigree focused and then stats focused. He then sometimes watches games.![]()

RFA means top 25% earners in the club and UFA is not.Could someone with a better understadning than me tell me why Darcy is a restricted FA but Dan Mc is an unrestricted FA when they were both recruited to the club at the same time?
