Didn't answer my question, why is it stupid to suggest Anthony's 2009 was better than Dawes' 2010 season? Dawes is obviously the better player this year and probably in the future but that has nothing to do with the past does it?
Anthony was consistent all year for us in 2009, we needed a forward target to kick goals and Anthony stood up for us while Dawes was up and down early this year and got dropped a few times, however he hit form at the right time of the season and we won a premiership.
Again, why is it stupid to suggest Anthony's '09 was better than Dawes' '10
Consistent was he? I must have missed his stellar finals campaign. Simply does not do enough when he does not have the ball. Dawes does his 2010 was so much better because it imprived the side (along with others) and we took a massive step forward.
Sides studied Anthony and worked him out, bring the ball to ground and its all over. If his 2009 was so good why does no one want him. Half a rumour of Carlton sniffing around but thats it.
The market never lies, they do not place high value on him.
