As a team and club General, Hodge on half of a good leg with two broken arms would still be an upgrade!
Did anyone suggest they play(ed) a similar role?
Indeed, Hodge's role was far more onerous (on the body) than Bett's role yet he played till 35.
Perhaps the joke's on you LP for trying to be a smarta@@e.
Don't underestimate Betts' achievements as a player.
300 games - #33 on the ALL TIME AFL/VFL goal kickers' list.
And will move into the top 25 by the time his career ends (passing the likes of Fev, Michael Roach, Neitz and A. Lynch).
I'll acknowledge i don't know all the names on the list but it appears he's 3rd on the list of small forwards after Matthews and Bartlett.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
