No. I am happy to take on the advice of those who have, you know, actually seen him play. I've got a huge amount of time for Crusha as a junior footy observer and judge of talent. The bloke takes the time to package together video of young blokes and those videos try and give a balanced view of the player. He knows his stuff because he does his research.
In contrast, I find the faux experts at this time of year quite annoying. You know the ones - finding snippets of information posted by others and passing them off as their own. Pretending that reading the D&T board gives them some sort of lofty insight.
Writing off a player as a trade target when you clearly have never seen him before is really quite dismissive of those knowledgeable enough to form a view.

All I did was compare 2 players performances this season using footywire stats and player ratings. I did not discredit crusha video and by all means I'm grateful there are people like him taking the time to create videos like this.
The thing that offends me greatly, is a muppet like you telling me that "finding snippets of information posted by others and passing them off as their own." I have not claimed or declared the information as my own. I'm providing it as a reference to back up my comments I have made.
By the way I'm not claiming to be a expert. Anyone can identify a good player when they see one.
Last year I was banging on about get this bloke call Adam Saad.
I quoted "We have to get Adam Saad. This guy is going to be a quality AFL player and is a joint best and fairest winner for Coberg, VFL side at the age of 20."
