Where did I put him down ?
"Freddy was playing both positions in 02, just like anasta did last yr. Wing never played a halfbacks role, heck even pearce played more of a role in the halves"
If that's not putting someone down I dont know what is, when you give more credit to Anasta and Pearce over anyone.
Where did I say his not a top player ?
"Wing is a top player but his not a big loss like most are making it out to be"
You said top player and than said no big loss. Trust me you will notice the loss and if Souths lost a top player you wouldn't see me saying it's no big loss.
Aubusson couldn't tie Wings boot laces at present. Aubusson might become a star or he could fizzle fast.
All we are saying is that his not a halfback, watch the games and that proves it, no opinions are needed, the facts are right in front of you. Fittler as an assistant coach couldn't make the decisions that anderson was making, thats the difference. Most of the guys in the team had no respect for anderson, mongahan even said it. Fittler came in and made changes, the guys respect him and the passion within the club was back. Anasta was the difference for this side, without him, we would have got the wooden spoon imo. Anasta was in charge of the kicking game, passing game etc and looking back at those games thats what won us those matches. You think he recieved all those MOTM awards cause they felt sorry for him? The team wasn''t winning in the first half of the season cause no one was performing, anasta was on his own, our forwards were poor. When fittler came in, everyone was performing, which allowed anasta to play the he did.
I've watched the games and the evidence suggests Easts win games and even premierships when Wing is in the 7. That's what I'm saying. Who knows if it will be a success this season, I for one won't write him off before he has the chance to prove himself, I suggest you do the same.
I knew you would blame it on Anderson and Fittler was the assistant coach, he was still there to teach Anasta and Pearce his skills and I'm pretty sure Anderson would listen to Freddies input. It wasn't all Anderson.
Anasta was in charge all season and it's a big reason why you don't make the finals since he has arrived. He's no real five-eighth, He's a lock foward who can put a good bomb up every now and then, he will either run it or put the bomb up.
