The 2 you mention have presence and don't take any sh1t.
We feed our young to the wolfs then too many so called supporters bag the crap out of them when they don't fight hard enough. I heard some disgusting comments about Weiters on Saturday. I agree he is a boy in a mans body, he hates getting hurt and is now even being targeted IMO by opposition teams to hit him when ever you can cause they know he cant handle it. I agree he needs to learn to take the physical side of the game better and I know he will but FMD give him some time. Only played 2 seasons in one of the worst teams in comp. The minute he has a few quiet games he name is raised as a flop of a pick. :
Royce Hart would have struggled in our F50 on Saturday. Weiters cops a very hard front on hit that nearly knocked him out yet kicks the goal and comes straight off the ground.
Then to my amazement gets switched again and gets asked to play on a player who already had 7 goals to his name with confidence riding sky high. Was a poor decision by Bolts, not sure how that's supposed to build the boys confidence. Wouldn't you take the pressure off him rather the putting him under the spotlight!
re the bold, i can't blame bolts for this.
In the 3rd he tried Weitering forward. He was trying to win the game. In the last he rolled the dice and threw Jones in the ruck to allow Casboult to back forward and provide another marking option we were sorely missing up forward. That meant weitering had to go back to cover Jones.
Obviously neither option worked, but there was no point doing the same thing we were already doing as it clearly wasn't working.
