What Fittler lacks in general wit he more than made up for in footy brain. He was an intelligent footballer.
Man I miss having Freddy as our five-eighth.
I'd rather have a bunch players who appear totally brain dead when interviewed off the field but play intelligent football, than a team that plays dumb football.
That said, I think Freddy just partied too hard after retirement, I am fairly certain he was smarter than this even off the field. I remember in 2004 when they tried to get him to make a comment on the allegations against the Bulldogs and he was smart enough to refused to say anything. Compare that to what Lockyer said.
