Yes, it's times Weitering and Marchbank, when fit, take the main defensive roles. Let them know their roles and play them. Weitering looks totally lost as to his role.
While I don't like to use VFL form the day I saw Weitering return through there I have never seen an AFL player dominate at that level so much ever. He was a general, al leader, took total control of the backline, knew his role, played it to perfection, read the play beautifully and used it well finishing with 17 marks. in the AFL we play 4 key defenders, so Weitering is not playing the KP role, seems confused, lost and plays accordingly. We saw alot of that in is first year. Even 1st game in his 2nd year he went forward and really smacked Rance. Problem we left him in that unfamiliar role and it affected him. It's time now to put faith in these young blokes and let them play the role they were recruited for at both ends of the ground, and even in the midfield. give some of the 2nd and 3rd year kids responsibility now and see what happens, could be surprised.
Bolton can answer as to why Weitering has gone so far backwards.
