not be playing him and fix those physical issues.....

There is a definition of optimism, glass half full!

You are right Cookie, ever since he took that hit he hasnt been right and he reminds me of Geoff Southby after Neil Balme collected him...he just wasnt the same or as good and it finished his career.
I hope that isnt the case with Weitering but he is a player who must be a major worry for the club given his No 1 pick status and the expectation of growth in his game that just hasnt happened..
His kicking was a feature of his game in his first year, long 50m kicks to position but you wouldnt back him over 30m to the target these days....looks worried and unhappy on the field and almost at times like he wants
to avoid being involved in play for fear of messing up.

Yeah...74, 75, 76, 77 & 78 were unimportant anyway......I'd still like a Geoff Southby even circa 1980 in our side today !!!

Southby would revel in modern footy today with his sublime skills and reading of the play.....he was playing on at every opportunity at FB back in his day and was along with Dench from North was the new breed of defender.
Great player and saddened me when I read about his battles with depression and how serious they were even during his times as a player....
When I read about supporters wanting Balme at our club to run the footy dept I just think I'd rather stay bottom than let that piece of scum anywhere near our club ....

Balme is an excellent footy administrator and if he helped us to jag a flag, it would go some small way to atoning for his past misdemeanours. We've had plenty of dirty players over the journey.

Yep Records show he is a excellent footy administrator but we can never go that low that we allow him anywhere near our football club, thats selling our soul to the devil.......
He is dog excrement and as Inspector Harry Callahan could tell you a lot of things can happen to dog shite.....
