Buddy's going to be a freak and there is no doubt a HUGE mistake was made by the clowns in charge of drafting. The kid has kicked goals in 28 out of his 36 AFL games.
Consider this Buddy took 33 games to kick 50 goals. Compare this too:
Riewoldt 47 games
Pavlich 51 games
Jonathon Brown 44 games
Fevola 31 games
The numbers for a guy that's done nothing stack up. I went to the game on the weekend and he took a mark outside 50, went back and slotted it from 55. His the most exciting player that i have seen in a decade.
However he is a Hawk not a Tiger so forget about him (i forgot about Pavlich too).
See they are the sort of numbers that should haunt our recruiting staff. Instead they drive around in their fancy cars, go to fancy restaurants and leave us watch pathetic football every week.
How can we make these errors time and time again?
Your statements here indicate your ignorance of the facts in the pursuit of supporting your argument. Most of the recruiters at the time agreed that Hawthorn took Roughhead at 2 so that the Tigers wouldn't get him at 4 and would have to take Buddy since they would want a mid and a KPI with their first 2 picks. The Hawks were hoping to nab Tambling at 5 themselves and would have taken him over Buddy if given half a chance.
If you want to bag out our recruiters, get you facts right, perhaps you could ask them why we took Pattison at 16 when Wood, last weeks rising star, didn't go till pick 18.
