Agreed - who would have thought - a mid who can kick both sides!

He is more then just an incepting defender now. He can be relied upon to spoil consistently, he can chase down a forward like a small defender, is reliable by foot and has the smarts and poise in what can be a very hectic part of the ground.
Cripps is amazing we all know that but let’s not forget what sort of player young weitering has become. Will be our key defender for the next 10 years.
Very proud of this kid.
Top 3 in the b+f for me this far.
Liam Jones not far behind too.

Jones was actually looking at AA before his collision.
Who would've thought 4 years ago that Jones and Casboult would have been our leading defenders. Going to be a tough defence to select soon. Weitering is starring, Marchbank played a good one last week inercepting well, and Goddard is killing it in the VFL.

Intercept marking was pretty good. Didn't start so well but few did. Certainly a lot better as the game went.
Re: Post Game Celebration: AFL 2019 Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane - kruddler - 06-10-2019
Marchbank and Plowman really get a bad rap on here, but both are pretty good defenders. They've been under immense pressure this year and some of their errors are as much about lack of movement from up the ground as it is anything they've done wrong.

I would tend to agree. Teague gave Marchbank a big rap in his presser.

They have also been on the wrong end of some appalling umpiring decisions!
I reckon our backline has been a strength all season even though we haven’t had a settled line up. All of the defenders have been guilty of telling errors - not just Marchbank and Plowman - but, as you suggest, many of those errors were the product of poor play/execution up the ground.
Re: Post Game Celebration: AFL 2019 Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane - kruddler - 06-10-2019
FWIW, our best back 6 would be something like...
Plowman Weitering Newman
Simpson Jones Marchbank
....and everyone there has missed games this year except for Weitering.
Obviously Docherty has missed the whole year as well.
So far from settled.
We've been able to field those 6 players on only 4 occassions this year, rounds 3-6. Perhaps not so coincidently, its been some of our best performances this year.
Sydney - Gold Coast - Hawthorn - Bulldogs
Just saying.
