Fittler or Lewis?

Question

If you could pick one at 5/8 for your team who would it be?

Who was the more complete player?

Do you think Fittlers ability to play several positions will have a bearing on him not getting selected in the team of the century?

Answer 1

It depends what era you were picking a team for. If you were choosing both at their peak performance, you would choose Lewis for an 80's era team because of his toughness and strength for that style of football but if you were choosing a current era team, you would choose fitler for his finess and tactical ability with the ball play.

Answer 2

Lewis - I'd play Fitler at Lock

Answer 3

Lewis , he was a better player than Fittler ever could be , fittler was good even great but he was not as good as the King or even Bob Fulton for that matter.

Answer 4

If your from QLD it is Wally Lewis and if your from NSW it is Brad Fittler.

Answer 5

lewis was the far better of the 2.

Answer 6

King Wally! as he would have to be the captin as well!

Answer 7

I'm from NSW so this could be deemed blasphemy... But Wally Lewis easily wins this non-contest. Wally Lewis was a great player and a great leader.

Fittler never really made a position his, he more or less slotted in where needed. A decent utility.. yes... but he is no Wally Lewis.

Answer 8

Umm *has absolutely no idea what she is talking about just likes the name better* Definately Fittler no question!!! =D

Answer 9

Brad Fittler

Answer 10

Personally I think that Lewis wins this hands down, without a doubt. Fittler has nothing on Lewis. Wally isn't known as the King for nothing. I'm not quite sure on the stats, but I can remember heaps of games where Lewis made a huge, huge impact on the game, but I can't remember nearly as many games where Fittler has had such an impact.

Answer 11

the king wins hands down, fittler was a great utility player he could play anywere but he was only an average 5/8, king wally had the complete game,

Answer 12

Lewis... of coarse... QLD forever =D

Answer 13

Wally Lewis easily

Answer 14

fittler

Answer 15

the king!

Answer 16

as a 5/8 wally was the better,but as an all round player fitler was superior to most,

Answer 17

Both good players....but I'd say neither, remember some kid named Laurie Daley??

Answer 18

Freddy for sure!!! He was far more versitile!!  I just preferred watching his style of play and ability to set up his team mates with great plays, whereas Lewis was more of a ball runner.

Each to his own thought!! haha :)
