Sammy Hamill has done a review of some of our defenders and, you wouldn't believe it, they're flying through the pre-season 
https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/148743...-defenders
Unfortunately, Sammy hasn't provided reports on Kemp, Williams, Young, tall Durdin, Marchbank and Cincotta. I'm also keen to see whether Jaxson Binns is earmarked for a role in defence this season.
There's big shoes to fill with Weitering out in terms of his unbeatability in one on one contests, his ability to choose the right option when distributing the ball or rebounding from defence, and his generalship of the team in the back half. I don't think any one player can do all of that and our defence will have to step up across the board.
If I was picking the team for "opening round", I would go with:
B: Newman Young Williams
HB: Saad Kemp McGovern
I/C: Cincotta
I think the MC will go with:
B: Newman Marchbank Williams
HB: Saad McGovern Cincotta
I/C: Boyd
