Tigers Draft 2006

[RECORDS!]

Weaver comparing Selwood to Pettifer is one of the funniest things I have read on BF. Not only did he compare them, he said that Selwood does not get his own ball. Weaver will be very embarrassed with this being brought up. (as he should be really)

I think he will be proven very wrong on Jack too.

Why is Weaver's knowledge undermined because of one post? He clearly knew a shitload more than most, if not all, people on here.

 

[beaver fever]

Yeah he seemed to get a few things right. Selwood is completely wrong, and I'd also suggest he is wrong about Riewoldt.

I miss Weaver. Was wrong on Selwood, but was right in describing Jack.

He said we needed Hislop, we have him now.

What, his description as similar to Pat Bowden? Please.

And trust me, noone could have watched Selwood as a 16 yr old and said that he was a Petifer type who did not get his own ball. He has been a competitive animal since he could walk.

Look we all enjoyed Weavers posts and miss his moderating, but maybe we all get a bit caught up with how hard it is to punch out a few phantom drafts.

...in hindsight Weaver really wasn't the recruiting expert many thought he was.

Good on him for offering an opinion but I think people just got carried away with his knowledge.

Ridiculous comment. Its impossible to tell who will be a star in 2 years time. Judging by what he has written he was pretty damn close.

Look I have a lot of respect for Weaver, but I think that he was a big fish in a small pond when it came to talking about the draft on Big Footy.

I enjoyed all of his posts, but people never questioned what he said, they accepted it as fact coming from someone of higher intelligence. This wasn't Weaver's fault, it was ours.

I argued with him a couple of times but I liked his style.

Weaver was to to reliant on print outs of stats etc when making calls on players. Pretty much stock standard way of assesing players that gets you stock standard players that leave you wallowing in the mire of mediocrity. Lived in the past when it came to the qualities required to find the players that make the difference.

I think you will find the Weaver spent a little more time than just looking at stats. Watching games, tapes etc...

He was spot on with Jetta. People overrate him so much. Dud.
He was very wrong on Selwood though.

Like who?

He had a strong second half to the season
