JLT 2018: Carlton vs St Kilda at Ikon on Wednesday

[kruddler]

Of course you are allowed an opinion, and I'm not normally in position to expose comments from you that have such little merit. I'm use to you making statements that are in some-way supported in stats or facts. As is your Daisy debate which is why I support it as well.

But I cannot find anything to support your claims regarding Weitering, in fact it's too easy to find points to contradict it.

Of course you are allowed an opinion, but the right to have an opinion doesn't mean anyone has to take it seriously, that it's right or that it has merit. As you have your right to express an opinion, so do those who read it have right to question it. But all opinions are not created equally, and that is an unquestionable reality!

The basis for my assertion is due to the fact that our backline has performed very well without weitering in it.
There is also a trend in the modern game to have a smaller more mobile forwardline. 
If we can continue to perform well in our backline, especially against the more mobile forwardlines, leaving someone like Weitering out of our lineup, allows us to add another midfield type into the 22, adding depth and variety in an area we need it.

Its a simple equation...
Is Backline + Weitering + midfield => Midfield + 1 + Backline ??

There is potenially more of a benefit to our overall team if we have an extra midfielder simply because our backline is going so well.
Of course the additional midfield could also allow us to be fitter (more midfield rotations), and apply more pressure as a result meaning the backline is required to dop less work.
