That's not an easy role, how can you say that? The role that Rance, Gibson and Taylor are lauded for is not the easy role!

Jones wants to run and jump at everything, he's far less of a body on body type than Weitering. :o

No wonder we are no good, everyone is intercept marking! :o

Eventually players will have to find a man, and i'd expect Richmond to exploit someone like Weiters on the lead and/or with double/triple leads.
Aerobically Weitering is one of the clubs highest rated talls, as I understand it he is only bettered by Kreuzer and Cripps!
Seriously Kruddler, you are clutching at straws trying to justify comments that are unfounded.
Weitering kicked 3 goals playing on Rance!
Rotated with ACoS on Franklin in our early season victory.
Kept Ben Brown to a single goal!
Covered Himmelberg the following week.
The dealt with 2M Peter the week after!
Played great games on Darling, Schoenmakers and was one of our best if not the best on ground in the last round thumping at the hands of the Swans.
Yeah, the kids a spud who can't play tall, small, forward, fast or anything in between!
What are you smoking! ;D
