I think everyone paying out Tedesco is being pretty harsh. True he hasn't set the world on fire but what do people expect? It's his first season in FG (can't say that last season counts) and he's coming back from a knee reco. On top of that the halves in front of him didn't exactly do much to help the team last night, or for much of the season really. I'm not trying to make excuses for him but you have to be realistic - a player is not going to outshine everyone else or become the next Billy Slater as has been mentioned before after one season.
Unfortunately with all the comparisons to Slater people have had unrealistic expectations of him and since he hasn't lived up to them they've just decided that he's crap and needs to be dropped. Think about it this way: Moltzen's had several years in FG and Tedesco in his one year has already outshone him so really he can't be that bad (and I'm not one of those people who goes out of their way to pay out Moltzen either). People just tend to focus on the negatives and ignore the positives like his defence (yes, sometimes he stuffs up but it could be a lot worse) and ability under the high ball.
Really hoping that with all the comparisons to Andrew John's etc. the same thing doesn't happen with Brooks and Moses but really, I won't be surprised if it does.
Its funny cos the only Tedesco critics are members of the Moltzen fan club. Coincidence?
what about all the teddy lovers talking him up for the last couple of years espescially when he has shown sweet fa.
He blitzed it coming up through the juniors, i don't know how you classify that as ''sweet fa''. By your logic so has Brooks, but you'd never hear that said about Brooks. being the forums golden child and all
