Weitering has kicked far bigger bags of goals as a junior than McKay, I watched Weitering as a U16 kick 15 goals in a game, and given the opposition was questionable, not his opponent but the team on the whole, I went to watch him playing a senior AGS game and kick 6 playing as the CHB in a game surrounded by other AFL draftees!
Even so, he should be our long term KPD, he is clearly our Harry Taylor type and players like Marchbank and Plowman can set up around him for the next decade.
Not that I'm anti-McKay, but I see him as a ruck forward option within just a few years.
Big kid, picking on smaller kids. AFL level is a different kettle of fish.
He's played forward and done ok a couple times....and gone completely missing other times.
He may well turn out to be better than Harry up forward, but he is not great on the lead, isn't as good of a contested mark and doesn't have the same kinda aggression as Harry does.
I've got more question marks over Harry than i do over Weiters, but if both lived up to their potential as a forward, i can't see Weiters being better than Harry. Of course, living up to the potential is the key. Plenty don't.
