why would you expect him to have seen everyone? He's 1 person. You expect him to watch a triple header TAC cup game, then turn back time to watch the vfl and look out for the mature recruits? And then travel back in time and watch the draftees that are playing school footy? And then quickly jump on a flight and head to Perth to watch their local comp and then to all of the other states all in the matter of 48 hours, every weekend?A couple of points.
1. I don’t claim to be a draft expert or official draft watcher.
The most I watch are the National Championship games, any Lions academy games that are streamed and the odd QAFL game that features one or more of our academy kids.
I lean/borrow heavily on other peoples work, especially the Rookie Me writers.
I have repeatedly said that both on this page, and on the Lions page. I’m very much open about my non expertise here.
I just like following the draft and talking about the kids, particularly as it relates to the Lions.
2. Knightmare as an “expert” has been caught out giving descriptions about kids he has not watched, without clearly stating as much.
He has been caught out and called out by other draft watchers.
You might have missed out on the sh!t that went down here in 2020.
3. Knightmare claims not to read other peoples work. But it’s clear as day that he does, when he uses specific descriptions lifted from other peoples work. He lifted his description of Blake Coleman directly from me. And the description was one I had explained to me in private, and then used on the board. Don’t deny using someone else’s work, when it’s right there.
It doesn't need to be stated, it's common sense.
