To me McKay exudes confidence and looks like he's having a ball. By comparison Weiters lacks an air of assurance, seems relatively tentative and certainly looks like he is finding the whole experience excruciating. Also seems a bit distant from the other players. Just the impressions I get from his body language.
How much of that though is due to the pressure to perform with injuries in his first few seasons.
We don't know for sure but "I'll stand, kicking to death" if he wasn't asked to keep going despite being injured.
We broke him.
Like we broke Murphy years ago. It's a credit to him to reach the level he did....and yes, it's part of being an AFL player to cope with that....but successful teams don't leave their young-úns to deal with that without some management and protection.
