Hardly a mew strategy, but people are fricken losing their minds over suggesting a #1 pick could be the 'casualty'.
His name is tom Williamson.
His name is ciaran Byrne.
I even gave Byrne an Honourable mention.
Weitering is in our best back 6. He's probably in our best forward 6, but irrespective of where he's named unless we are pushing for a flag we should play the back 6 that is both capable of winning and will likely be there in the medium to long term.
Weitering plays.
I understand horses for courses but unless something changes dramatically weitering will be first name on the sheet and it's not because of his draft number it's because we rate him as the total package.

Saints looking pretty average again tonight, and this is with a stronger side. Maybe our chance to leap frog them this year.

Apparently Williamson has a "stress reaction" in his back. I really hope the club is VERY conservative with him, don;t expect to see him in the first half of 2018 if that is the case

I understand that it is a minor stress reaction ... and modern medical imaging techniques will ensure that the medicos will know exactly when he's right to play. However, your concern about a conservative approach is well founded. Young Tom will be a very important part of our resurgence and we need to ensure that he can contribute to our premiership campaigns of 2019-2025.

Docherty generally plays as a loose man in defence; not picking up an opponent but helping out his fellow defenders. Not having Doc, and with apparently more emphasis on attacking footy, may mean that we give up on the extra man behind the ball.
Byrne is good running down the field , both him and Jones can look a bit nervy running back towards goal....Simpson like Docherty doesnt really man up anyone and is more about rebound footy.....which is fine vs some teams but not vs a team like say Richmond and Port who have dangerous small/mediums who need close attention.
The lock down small defender/s is my problem area for our defense and where we need to find some players and lose a rebounding type....no point Simpson or Docherty getting 30 possies if a Robbie Gray type has kicked five on them....

True EB, but I think that we have a range of options to cover the Robbie Gray type forward. Ed Curnow, SOJ and others seem to spend time as defenders and I think that being able to rotate defensive players onto the opposition's best forwards will work for us.

Most of those smalls doing heavy scoring run out of the midfield, not as a permanent forward. No defender can mind two at once.
