i had a good mate who played first grade with easts only one game mind you he was mailnly 21 s and reserve grade and in all the time he played i hardly ever saw him make a break, however he played with ron coote and artur beetson etc and i know how hard he trained to just get to that one game.
while massey and anderson got to a level above their ability i still reckon anyone who plays first grade CAN play! just some are better than others.
i can still hear the moans of the season ticket holders in the old stand when massey played , i simply cannot understand why any father would promote their sons as they did, it s not a good look i ll pay that.
