Yep.
I thought it was a dog act from someone who wasn't hunting the footy and was only playing the man.
Im all for getting physical when players can generally see the hits coming, but weiters only had eyes for the footy.

We're in desperate need of a decent key forward. Should we perhaps take a chance and blood yet another youngster in Harry McKay in the dry conditions under the roof at Etihad ?

We should wait until he's earned the spot, and the player being dropped has earned a rest.
Excluding one or two aberrations I think Casboult is generally better at Etihad than other grounds.
Not sure McKay is ready to take on the likes of Witts, Wright, Lynch or May, and we shouldn't flirt with Rowe's form by creating a situation where he is required to ruck.
It's a pity we had already played Melbourne, with Gawn Gone they are ripe for the picking!

I think the only likely change will be for Kerridge. Possibly give Fisher or Poulson a run? Also Weitering out if it is decided to give him a rest.

I'd doubt Bolton would bring in a player for just one week, so I doubt Kerridge would go out.

One week is one too many IMO.

The clash of heads with Hurley was incidental of Ambrose's actions.

I just don't rate Kerridge GTC. He is a very fumbly and frustrating player with erratic disposal. I think we've seen whatever we are likely to get from him already over plenty of previous games. Personally I prefer Army but he was also pretty horrible in his last game. I'd give Palmer another go though at this stage.

About Weitering, what is the best thing you can do after an injury or knock like his? Especially if you don't know exactly what happened or what the injury is?
I reckon, stay still, don't move, and wait for a trainer would be pretty close to the top of the list.
Weitering is a professional, he's not soft, he will always try to do what's best for himself and therefore also his team.
