Buckenara is the Chris Pelchen of Kevin Sheehans.Bucky lost credit when he said Blake Hardwick was a C grade player. It’s amazing he still doesn’t get the credit he deserves
It’s sad, that we only have a handful of ex-recruiting types who do this sort of review and list breakdown, and they’re all pretty cooked.Bucky jumped the shark a long time ago.
This is like the work I use to do at uni when I never read the assignment or bothered to check anythingThe section of the article which Hawked Wings is talking about.
Hardwick should at least be a B.

HOW THE RATINGS WOR
At a club level, player ranking is generally based on gradings of A+, A, B+, B, C+, C and the developing players.
My rankings will focus on A, B, C and for the developing 20-year-old and under players will be rated as rising stars (RS) and those that need more time (NMT).
With the younger players, it is important to consider who is coming through and those who need longer to develop.
The most important areas for clubs to look at is how many A and B ranked players they have as well as the rising stars, who I believe should be A and B-grade players in the future.

Bucky thinks we can play finals next year, but then he also said that the return of Impey from injury was a big plus, that Hardwick is a C grader and that North need Tom Mitchell….
It’s hard not to think that he’s actually just passed his Herald Sun login to a Bigfooty nuffie at some point, who’s writing this stuff for him.
It's funny, the only ex recruiting person they had on any form of trade radio that spoke any sense was SOS.It’s sad, that we only have a handful of ex-recruiting types who do this sort of review and list breakdown, and they’re all pretty cooked.
Just wait for the trade radio guys to air every one of Rendells bad takes.
I want to agree but with a little more elaboration. You have raised a big issue. I think the body of public opinion in Australia, previously know as the AFL, needs to step in quick smart. Clearly we need the AFL issuing talking head licenses for all boofheads. Further I can imagine the AFL website having a log in monitoring page for members so they can monitor them in real time. Soon we could be living in a world where Cornes, Robbo, Derm, Scooter, quiche eater et al will all be under constant surveillance.I remember years ago when the Footy Show was still being somewhat watched by people and I heard Newman outwardly confess that he didn't watch games any more - despite this he got to have a weekly say about it on a nationally broadcast TV show. I think he was at least being honest - the amount of media types who clearly only watch a handful of games and barely any of them at the actual ground. Yet they are all paid for their take and it is digested by the footy watching public as absolute gospel. Every talking head should have to publicly list which games they have actually watched each round - and whether it was on TV or at the game and how much piss they have consumed during the viewing.
Is this the one ?There was a pretty good video analysis of our year on the AFL site last week.
Couldn't find it to post a link though (that website is a hot mess)
Maynard is an absolute jet.Give me Hardwick before Maynard …….. because he’s at Collingwood the sun shines out of his arse!

Friend of mine who worked at Fox Footy told me that the analysis in 2014 which was presented by King / Lyon during the week was actually undertaken at the time by Dave Dunbar (ex-Melb and then subsequent Brisbane coach/scout/analyst).I want to agree but with a little more elaboration.

However on reflection not watching the games and having an opinion should also been seen as a value. Like beauty in Ancient Greece, we need to value imagining what you saw without seeing it. Now this different category of talking heads could be called the Oracles. Again we need licensing of Oracles. Never again will the football public get confused between Boofheads and Oracles. And to prevent this confusion and return to the dark ages that we live in now, we need talking heads to carry the nomenclature in all public comms. So imagine K Cornes, BH and G Wakefield, O.
This occurs all the time. Even during games all the special comments dudes on tv have earpieces with producers in the background feeding them stats and analysis throughout the game.Friend of mine who worked at Fox Footy told me that the analysis in 2014 which was presented by King / Lyon during the week was actually undertaken at the time by Dave Dunbar (ex-Melb and then subsequent Brisbane coach/scout/analyst).
So the presenters looked clever because the professional analyst gave them all the vision and analysis to regurgitate.

Match day stats in real time makes sense.This occurs all the time. Even during games all the special comments dudes on tv have earpieces with producers in the background feeding them stats and analysis throughout the game.
Imagine if they had a guy with a thesaurus feeding words to Bruce for Cyril.....Except with Bruce - he was pulling that stuff out of his encyclopaedic brain.
Maynard is a jet no doubt but for me so is Hardwick ……… been consistent for a few years now and is very underrated unlike Maynard who is deservedly being recognised by the footy world. Could be wrong and probably wearing my brown and gold glassesMaynard is an absolute jet.
Give me Hardwick before Maynard …….. because he’s at Collingwood the sun shines out of his arse!
He is a good player but I’d still have Hardwick. We could probably do with another Hardwick on the list. Hoping Morris becomes that player.No. He is a good player Maynard.
Morris could definitely be that player big pre season coming upHe is a good player but I’d still have Hardwick. We could probably do with another Hardwick on the list. Hoping Morris becomes that player.
