True, and being a Fitzroy player doesn't help his profile all these years down the track either.
The really top shelf quick endurance rovers of that time (Wilson, Bartlett, Cable) could blow up Matthews in the midfield, due to the fact that lethal relied a lot more on his tank like frame.
Why are you assuming Matthews played their speed game?
May as well claim Sam Mitchell as no good because he was too slow.
Neither needed speed, yet were always right in every contest.
And both had incredible endurance. Thats why Matthews was able to 40 and 11.
