Re: 2017 Rd 10: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs North Melbourne - Gointocarlton - 05-23-2017
So let me start by saying I cant stand Terry Wallet. I was listening to SEN tonight and he does a segment where by he goes into a club and sits on match committee meetings. When it came to Carlton, he talked about Rowe going down. He suggested to try something left field by putting Weitering on a wing and Jones down back. His theory is that:
- JW is a great reader of the play
- JW is a big body and is fairly athletic
- JW intercepts the footy extremely well
Wallet reckons he would become an asset btw HB and HF along the wings and would compliment our other big bodies in Cripps, Curnow etc.
I dont know if this is crazy or genius, its certainly left field alright and it may just make things very intersting. Thoughts?

Perhaps I shouldn't admit this but I actually find myself very interested in TWs insights. He was one of the few commentators last year after we'd won four on the trot to predict that the Aints would take us apart. And the reasons he gave were spot on.
Weits to a wing? My only knock on that would be that he aint the fastest bloke over the grass... however, I wonder if TW was isolating the fact that we have very poor penetration and delivery into our F50 and Weits might be an excellent link to setting up and delivering meaningful forward thrusts, and would be difficult to stop.

How is that any different to Kreuzer on a wing, which we tried a couple of times last week. It backfired on us at center bounces as his opponent basically ran off him and got an I50. In terms of pros/cons, too many cons.

Isn't that mainly where Nick Riewoldt plays these days?

Yup, and he provides one really good avenue into f50.

Might work depending on opponents, I wouldnt want Brad Hill for example playing on JW and running off him..our man is athletic for a tall but he wont be winning any foot races vs genuine wingman.
IMO Weitering is a CHB and its time we played him there. Cant wait for Mckay and Kerr to be introduced so we can setup the spine properly and have a decent structure to build around instead of trying to cheat with players in their non specialist positions....I know JW played games forward in his youth but he looks a CHB to me and not a CHF.
Weitering and Marchbank down back will give you the best intercept marking duo in the comp..
Re: 2017 Rd 10: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs North Melbourne - Professer E - 05-23-2017
Yep, the Weitering forward experiment needs to be put back on the shelf once and for all IMO.
Time for a different option at CHF... Jones, Jaksch, Kerr, JGM, McKay, I don't care who, just give the side some bloody structure that gives us some hope.
Re: 2017 Rd 10: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs North Melbourne - pinot - 05-23-2017
McKay not really putting it together and if form dictates who plays then Jones and Jaksch need the run. Not sure what will be done with White as he deserves to come in too. Jaksch at 22 is younger though and Jones at 26 is hitting his peak.
Re: 2017 Rd 10: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs North Melbourne - cookie2 - 05-23-2017
Jones will surely play this week? If he doesn't then what future can he have with us? Personally I think he and Weitering will share rotations fwd and back. Looking forward to seeing them.

Could make for a puzzling match up...
By all accounts Jones has successfully implemented coaching instruction. At least in the 2's. Perhaps some of his current success also relates to maturity.
How fantastic would it be if he jumps up a level or two this year. For years we've heard about his 'potential'. How he 'trains the house down'. Heck he could be the slow burn recruit of the year. All the best to him if he gets a gig.
