Absolutely correct. If Weiters or Jones go down during the year, we have a readymade replacement who at least has enough size to compete. He only got the chop at Melbourne because May and Lever were ahead of him.
He certainly didn't look out of place on Thursday night (unlike Callum Moore in every game I saw him play in Blue).
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
