It seems to me that the Blues (perhaps more specifically Weitering) are keen to expose Young to the opposition’s best tall forward but if he starts wilting he switches to a more manageable opponent. That was particularly so against the Tigers. He started on Lynch but was as nervous as a junior player who had been given a game in the seniors. He played with no confidence and was completely reactive. Lynch was well on top. He quickly switched to Riewoldt and he soon acted like a veteran star defender against a junior forward. When he switched back to Lynch, he continued to play with confidence and did well.
If this is how Young’s being handled (and I might be imagining it) then bravo. The last thing we need is to see him destroyed by an AFL star. Weiters is good enough and confident enough to take all comers and is selfless enough to give his team mates a chop out when required.
